Director's Message
"For over forty years, the UCLA Asian American Studies Center has been at the forefront of educating the American public about the intellectual, cultural, and political diversity of the Asian American and Pacific Islander experience. Leading experts from across the country judged the Center recently and concluded: "The Asian American Studies Center at UCLA is indisputably the leading Asian American Studies center in the country and an exemplary ethnic studies center of any kind, the gold standard against which all the rest are measured." The Center, through its mission to "educate through innovation," is recognized as the premier site of scholarship and publications, research and archives, and programs around public policy and leadership."
