The Asian Pacific American Student Organization has been the voice for our fellow Asian Pacific Islander Desi American/Asian (APIDA/A) community at Michigan State University for over forty years. Founded by a group of student activists in 1982, APASO has continued its goal to advocate for the APIDA student body community on Michigan State University's campus in social, political, and academic contexts. With roots in activism, APASO strives to support an inclusive and intersectional community on MSU’s campus and beyond. APASO works towards creating awareness about our vast community through programming, collaborations, and networking.
