Asian American Heritage Month
Every year, Northeastern hosts Asian American Heritage Month (AAHM) with the goals of building community, raising awareness for APIDA issues all while celebrating our history, culture, and impact in the United States.
While Asian American Heritage Month is traditionally celebrated in May, Northeastern celebrates in January to give our community an opportunity to fully participate in and enjoy the month of events.
This year, we aim to empower our community by highlighting the voices and identities that are interwoven with being Asian American in order to promote understanding and appreciation in the Asian American community. Join us in celebrating Asian American Heritage Month 2022 from January 23 – January 30, 2022!
This collection of events is just a small taste of the diversity that represents Asian America โ both at Northeastern and beyond. Our hope is that together, these events will spark discussion and inquiry about where we have come from as Asian Americans, and where we are going. Stop by, take a look, learn more about who we are.

To kick off Asian American Heritage Month 2022, Pi Delta Psi and VSA are excited to host a movie night showcasing the award winning Minari. A tender and sweeping story about what roots us, Minari follows a Korean-American family that moves to an Arkansas farm in search of their own American Dream. The family home changes completely with the arrival of their sly, foul-mouthed, but incredibly loving grandmother. Amidst the instability and challenges of this new life in the rugged Ozarks, Minari shows the undeniable resilience of family and what really makes a home.
