Asian Student Association

Our mission is to increase awareness and educate the Iona community about Asian cultures. We hope to give Asian students at Iona an anchor point and a place for incoming students to integrate into the new environment with support and ease. ASA is devoted to preserve and promote Asian cultures. We plan to increase awareness of our diverse language, culture, and history through hosting social events, educational events, cultural events, and community service.
