API Leaders Retreat
The A³C hosts quarterly leadership retreats for the elected student officers of over thirty Asian American student organizations that utilize the space and resources at the Asian American Activities Center. The objectives of the retreats are: 1) to educate students about the history of Asian Americans at Stanford and about present day national issues, 2) to provide the space for student leaders to interact, fostering collaborations, and 3) to provide leadership training, such as workshops on effective communication and conflict resolution. The API Leaders Retreat is a quarterly event that brings together representatives from all API student groups on campus for collaboration opportunities and leadership training. This crucial event consists of a series of interactive activities, hands-on discussions, and bonding exercises that allow for more intracommunity dialogue and interaction.
API Leadership Lunches
These small lunches are intimate conversations between API student group leaders to share their mutual concerns about administering their respective organizations, and to find common ground to collaborate. Meant as a kind of “pulse-taking” event, the Leadership Lunch is part workshop, part support group, creating a safe space for student group leaders to ask each other for advice and learn from one another.
The professional staff at the Asian American Activities Center also serve as advisors to the student organizations that utilize the Center.
