​About Asian American Dream:

​Founded in May 2021, AAD aims to empower underserved (first-generation college attendee, low-income, FAFSA-eligible, attending a non-target school) Pan Asian American undergraduates to realize and achieve their unique vision of the Asian American dream, one that accounts for their lived experiences, career aspirations, and Pan Asian American heritage. Due to the model minority myth, there is a widespread misconception that all Pan Asian Americans are inherently well-connected, smart, and hard-working. Through AAD programing, AAD seeks to dismantle the model minority stereotype and uplift the next generation of Pan Asian American professionals through the guiding mission and vision.
