Asian Columbia Alumni Association

With the winter snow upon us, the Asian Columbia Alumni Association wants to wish you and your family a very happy holiday season! As we take a look back on 2020, one thing is for sure: this year has not been an easy one for many, but the Columbia community is united against adversity. Our alumni in Asia organized to provide PPE for hospitals in New York when supplies were low. We shared stories of the recent xenophobia faced by Asian-Americans and discussed ways to combat it... in a chat with Columbia College Women. Through it all, we tried to keep a semblance of normalcy with our regular programs, like ACAA's Welcome Back Reception. Whether you enjoyed the new virtual programs or miss the in-person events, whether you are near or far, whether you joined us long ago or only recently, ACAA is grateful to have you in our community and we wish the very best for you in the coming year. Happy Holidays! See more
