The affiliate organization program is a partnership between the Asian American Cultural Center and the organizations whose missions align with the goals of the AACC. Organizations who are affiliated find a home at the AACC with additional resources like space for programming, advising, guidance, and supporting RSO group needs.
Affiliation with the AACC is completed on an annual basis every academic year. This program is open to all eligible persons regardless of race, color or national origin. Reasonable accommodations are available upon request, please contact aacc@illinois.edu.
