Alumni

On an ongoing basis, the Asian American Activities Center (A³C) collaborates with the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) to identify class leaders and plan events that appeal to the increasingly diverse group of alumni. The center also works in partnership with SAA in planning Homecoming Reunion each October. A³C also collaborates with the Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club (SAPAAC) to co-sponsor various events throughout the year to promote involvement of Asian American alums.

Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club (SAPAAC) Volunteer Events: Get Involved!

SAPAAC is one of Stanford University’s largest national alumni organizations. Established in 1989, SAPAAC is dedicated to connecting Asian Pacific American (APA) alumni to the Stanford community. We organize networking and community building opportunities, advocate for APA communities on campus and host a range of social and public service events for APA alumni in the Bay Area and across the country.

Want a way to stay involved beyond Stanford? Looking for way to connect with other Asian American alumni? Sign up for SAPAAC membership and/or consider joining a SAPAAC working committee! We welcome your input and energy in helping with our Events Committee, Issues & Advocacy Committee, and Membership Committee.

Alumni selected for the Hall of Fame are those who have distinguished themselves through exceptional advancement and success in education, career and/or outstanding contributions to the Stanford community and society as a whole. These outstanding alums are honored each year at a special gathering during Alumni Homecoming Reunion in October.
