USC Asian Pacific American Student Services (APASS) is a multifaceted department focused on the education, engagement and empowerment of students.
APASS has a two-fold mission: to facilitate Asian Pacific American participation, dialogue, community-building and empowerment, while at the same time, serving as a source of cross-cultural educational programming for the entire campus.
APASS programs include orientation, leadership development, service-learning and community immersion, career and peer mentoring, cross-cultural and educational programs, academic collaborations, and individual and collective advocacy.
We understand the distinctive needs among the different ethnicities within our Asian Pacific American community, and we derive strength from our diversity.
The APA Network
Involvement with APASS starts by joining the “Asian Pacific American Network,” the easiest way to connect with the APA community on and off campus. Students can join the Network online at www.usc.edu/apass or by filling out a form in Student Union 410.
APA Student Welcome
APASS provides a special half-day orientation during Welcome Week for incoming Asian Pacific American freshmen and transfer students. The fun and interactive program was designed to introduce Asian Pacific American undergraduate students to each other, student leaders and the APASS department. This free event includes brunch and the APA involvement fair, representing over 40 student and community organizations.
Leadership Development
APASS implements various programs and activities designed to enhance leadership development, including campus and community-based programs designed for educational or advocacy purposes. Our flagship leadership development program is called CIRCLE (Critical Issues in Race, Class and Leadership Education). Now in its 21st year, CIRCLE is a semester-long introduction to Asian Pacific American community issues, the field of Asian American studies and leadership training. With a focus on engagement and dialogue, the program prepares APA students to understand the diverse needs of the community and gain effective tools to engage with societal issues, while encouraging students to take action on important issues.
Community Resources
APASS provides information on over 1,200 local and national community organizations, as well as community-based events and activities. Many organizations and agencies supply information about scholarships, volunteer and employment opportunities, and internships. In addition, APASS offers TIE (Together in Empowerment), a community-based internship program open to undergraduate and graduate APA students. Students develop skill sets in one of three areas: policy and advocacy; fund-raising and development; or outreach and organizing.
Mentoring
APASS offers two premiere mentoring programs. Get professional mentoring and take advantage of skill-building workshops through Connections!, a career development program that matches undergraduate students with alumni, graduate students or other professionals for career and academic guidance. Positive Experiences, Enriching Relationships (PEER), a first- and second-year success program that matches each student to a highly trained, upperclass mentor, is available to freshman, sophmore and transfer students.
Educational Programs
APASS works with student and community organizations and academic departments to provide unique educational opportunities not offered by traditional student programming. From workshops to exposure trips to service learning opportunities, students can gain cross-cultural knowledge as well as learn about the various Asian Pacific American communities, their issues and their experiences. APASS offers two Alternative Spring Break trips – one to Manzanar (the former internment camp used to house Japanese Americans during World War II) and one to Hawaii, focused on the native Hawaiian experience. In addition, in collaboration with the Center for Black Cultural and Student Affairs and El Centro Chicano, APASS offers Project ReMix: Exploring the Mixed Race Generation (year-round programming focused on multiracial student and community issues).
