The Amherst Asian Alumni Network ("AAAN") is an alumni-founded and led group which centers the needs and interests of the Asian alumni, students, faculty, and staff of Amherst College. The AAAN seeks to promote greater Asian alumni involvement in the Amherst College community. This platform hosts community programming and distributes current news about student life and campus events. It also provides opportunities for alumni to support the academic and career development of Asian students as well as student initiatives such as the establishment of an Asian/Pacific/American Studies major. In 2021, the AAAN conducted virtual events that centers around Asian American identity, Stop Asian Hate, and hosted authors and legal scholars.
