AAHS Mission Statement

The Asian American Health Society (AAHS) was created to help everyone understand more about health issues in the United States, in particular, diseases of Asian Americans. Our society is focused on helping new students, especially freshmen and transfer students, find research opportunities and also giving advice regarding school and classes. We will provide career guidance by inviting professors, graduate students, and professionals to come speak about their jobs, volunteer experiences, and research experiences. In addition, we publish a Health Issues Newsletter, which can be found on this website.
