About Our Organization

Asian Alliance is a student led organization at Marist University dedicated to celebrating, sharing, and promoting Asian cultures and identities across campus. Our goal is to create an inclusive and welcoming community where students of all backgrounds can connect, learn, and appreciate the diversity of Asian cultures.

Through cultural events, social gatherings, and collaborations with other student organizations, we aim to bring students together while increasing cultural awareness and Asian representation within the Marist community.
