What is SAPAAC?

Established in 1989, the Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club (SAPAAC) has historically been one of Stanford University's largest ethnic affinity groups and one of the largest alumni organizations with 2600+ members. We organize community building, education, and networking opportunities for alumni of Asian or Pacific Islander heritage. We also fund an Outstanding Senior Award for undergraduate students, support the Asian American Activities Center (A3C) at Stanford, and advocate for our communities on campus. 

Today, SAPAAC is now an official, chartered club of the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA), whose mission is to reach, serve and engage Stanford alumni by nurturing strong intellectual and emotional connections between the university and its graduates.

Mission Statement

To promote and support the educational, professional, and social interest of Stanford Asian Pacific American (APA) alumni and the Stanford community.

How do we get there?

SAPAAC aims to:

  • Provide avenues of social and professional interaction for APA alumni

  • Keep members informed of APA affairs related to Stanford

  • Serve as role models for Stanford APA students

  • Inform Stanford administration of APA concerns and issues

  • Encourage hiring, promotion, and retention of APA faculty

  • Perform community service

How do I get involved?

Beyond attending SAPAAC events, you can also give feedback to the Board of Directors, organize events in your region, or volunteer to serve on one of SAPAAC's committees. You do not have to be on the Board of Directors to volunteer with a SAPAAC committee. We welcome all SAPAAC members to contribute to the work of these committees. For more information about how to join our bi-monthly committee meetings, reach out to our committee chairs at the emails linked below.
