Tulane University's Asian American Student Union

Welcome to AASU! Our mission is to promote and support the Asian American community by celebrating the diversity of culture at Tulane!

Welcome to the Asian-American Student Union (AASU)! AASU's mission is to promote and support the Asian-American community on campus by celebrating the diversity of cultures at Tulane and facilitating an open environment for conversations. Throughout the year, we host various events where students can socialize, experience various Asian cultures, and get involved in the community. While past years

have focused primarily on organizing social events, we are now looking to expand by reaching out to the community and providing meaningful experiences for our members in some form. We continuously strive to encompass all Asian and Pacific Island cultures, but this is definitely always a work in progress. Additionally, our organization is NOT Asian members only. Anyone with an interest in learning about AASU and our community is welcome! We strive to make AASU a welcoming and enriching organization so please feel free to submit any questions or concerns. Hope to see you all at our events!

Come join us this Saturday (9/27) for snacks and a special screening of Dìdi hosted by the LBC and Tulane University’s Asian American Student Union! 🎬🎋 Don’t miss this chance to watch together, connect, and celebrate community through film.

Dìdi (弟弟; lit. ‘Younger Brother’) is a 2024 American coming-of-age comedy drama film, written, directed, and produced by Sean Wang in his directorial debut.

Follow the story of a 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy named Chris as he navigates the summer before high school. He grapples with his cultural identity, experiences the joys and awkwardness of first love, and strengthens his bonds with friends while navigating the complexities of his relationship with his hardworking, single mother. Through skateboarding, online interactions, and everyday experiences, Chris begins to understand himself and his place in the world better. This coming-of-age story explores themes of family, identity, and self-discovery.

Thanks to your generous contributions, we were able to donate over $930- funding a water pump for a community well and helping construct a home for those affected by the earthquake in Inle Lake, Myanmar.

All of this goes to show how amazing our community is, especially when we come together for the collective benefit. Thank you to everyone for your support.
