Asian American Students in Action
AASIA is a Mentorship Program for the Asian American community.
What draws many students to the AASIA program both as mentors and mentees is the chance to build meaningful, lasting relationships while exploring issues that impact the Asian American community. Each first-year or transfer student is thoughtfully paired with an upper-class mentor who helps guide their transition into college life and supports them in making the most of their Northeastern experience.
Mentees become part of a close-knit, supportive community and gain access to valuable opportunities for personal and leadership development. Through AASIA activities and broader campus involvement, whether in student organizations, fraternities and sororities, or athletic teams, participants grow as leaders and community members.
Applications to apply as a mentee are open to any first-year or transfer student in the fall, while applications to apply as a mentor are open to all second year and above undergraduates in the spring. Follow AASIA on their Instagram for the most up to date information @neuaasia.
AASIA mentors are knowledgeable about the challenges of navigating the intricacies of college life through their own experiences. The mentors provide individualized support and guidance catered to the mentee to reach various goals that the mentee has set for himself or herself during their transition to Northeastern University. The AASIA program will also provide knowledge and resources about the support services on campus, the Asian American community, and the local Boston community.
Participants of AASIA will also be a part of the entire community of mentors and mentees. There will be monthly meetings, outings, and activity planning which will give mentees the opportunity to develop connections with all the other mentors and mentees in the program. The program seeks to enhance the individual relationship with the mentor through creating a collective group experience.
Mentees will find out about the different student organizations and campus resources available so they can increase their involvement and become leaders at Northeastern. Through enjoyable and stimulating events and exercises, students will be exposed to the skills necessary in becoming a leader. AASIA continues to make an impact on the Northeastern community as many mentors and mentees move on to get involved in or hold leadership positions in various student organizations and other offices on campus.
A unique component of the AASIA mentoring program is that it strives to connect students with their experiences as an Asian American. Part of the program’s mission is to create dialogue among mentors and mentees about the issues affecting the Asian American community. Through various activities and discussions, we hope that the participants will gain knowledge about the collective experiences of Asian Americans and about their own social identity.
