Asian American, Asian, and Pacific Islander Center

The Asian American, Asian, and Pacific Islander (AAAPI) Center at Central Connecticut State University serves to provide a space for academic achievement and connection between students, faculty, and the community. Our goal is to provide academic resources and opportunities for social and cultural connection in addition to promoting the AAAPI academic programs on our campus.

The AAAPI Center sponsors various academic, social, and cultural events, including an Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Festival to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month. Currently, the Center is developing signature programs and services to support students’ academic success and address their social needs.
