Asian American Heritage Collective

The Asian American Heritage Collective (AAHC) builds community, raises awareness of Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) issues, and celebrates the history, culture, and contributions of APIDA communities on campus. The organization offers year-round programming, including biweekly workshops, speaker events, and volunteering opportunities, all led by a student executive board in continued partnership with the Asian American Center (AAC).

Each January, the AAHC hosts its signature celebration, Asian American Heritage Month (AAHM), a month-long series of events, performances, and cultural programming. While AAHM is nationally recognized in May, Northeastern University celebrates in January to ensure the full campus community can participate and engage. We invite the entire Northeastern community to join us in celebration through events tired together by meaningful dialogue, cultural exploration, and immersive experiences.

The theme of AAHM 2026 was: The View from the Summit. The View from the Summit aimed to both celebrate and pay tribute to the years of hard work, dedication, and struggle that define the collective history of Asian Americans. This harsh journey, akin to scaling a mountain is riddled with many obstacles. However, upon reaching the peak, you find yourself rewarded with a hard-earned, beautiful view.

This year, we embarked on our own journey, one that is marked by a deep appreciation for the challenges we’ve overcome, fierce pride in our cultures, as well as the euphoric feeling of being on top of the world.
