Greetings from our Director!

Hi! I am Sitara Thobani, the Director of the APA Studies Program! This year, I am excited to announce that the APAS program has a new space on campus for our community to gather. Located in the Old Horticulture Building, this space will be the home of the new APAS Centre. We’re also looking forward to continuing work with our community partners, including those working to pass legislation to introduce Asian American Studies in K-12 curricula in Michigan, as well as various student organisations and other partners in the area and across the region. This is truly an exciting time for our program, and working together, I know we can continue to do even greater things!
