An estimated of 5% to 7% of the Wildcats within the University of Arizona community are APIDA identifying students. The Asian Pacific American Student Affairs (APASA) serves as a resource to approximately 3000 students providing support and connecting students to campus. Currently there are 13 affiliated student organizations with APASA where new students make a home away from home.
We invite high-school students to learn why being an Arizona Wildcat is an experience like no other! Join us for an array of virtual sessions crafted specifically for students who identify as Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA). This virtual event will allow you to explore clubs and organizations, Admissions and Financial Aid, and connect with current students, faculty and staff.
