The Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS) department is a resource unit designed to assist you in your cultural and personal development and to increase the overall awareness of the Asian Pacific American community at USC and in society.
Programs and services supported by APASS include:
The APA Network
Involvement with APASS starts by joining the “Asian Pacific American Network,” a database of students interested in the APA community on and off campus. Members of the Network will receive special invitations and discounts to events throughout the year. Students can join the Network online at www.usc.edu/apass or by filling out a form in STU 410.
