Asian American Center

Founded in 2020, the UNC Asian American Center (AAC) is a center in the Office of the Provost, focused on amplifying academic and community engagement with Asian American studies, arts, and communities. The AAC collaborates with schools, departments, and organizations across the entire campus. Key programs include a student project incubator, a collaborative oral history project, and the AAC Fellows program, the only such program of its kind in the nation, which brings national experts to collaborate, workshop, and present their work. The AAC offers events ranging from lectures to workshops and performances as well as incubating and supporting student-faculty projects and collaborative community work.
