UIC Celebrates Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Awareness Month

Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Awareness Month

Please join our campus community as we commemorate the 15th anniversary of AARCC (Asian American Resource and Cultural Center) and the 20th anniversary of Asian American Awareness Month (AAAM), which occurred in 2021. The centering idea for this year is “legacy.” Legacy was chosen by the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Awareness Month (APIDAAM) Committee of 2021 to commemorate the history of struggle taken up by students, faculty, and community members in making the existence of AARCC, Asian American Studies, and APIDAAM possible. It is this legacy of activism and community empowerment that the Committee hopes to remind folks of today and hear the voices of this community.
