AsACC provides leadership, program planning, and educational experience to learn more about Asian American issues through the Programmer and AsACC Programming Interns (API). 

Programmers

Programmers spearhead various departmental programming throughout the academic year. Such programs include Dear Diary (Let’s talk about mental health), Sticky Situation w/ WiStem, Paint & Sip, Murder Mysteries,  Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and many more. The programmer role is a paid opportunity as well as working under AsACC. Programmers work  approximately 10 hours a week for the school year. Programmers are in charge of  cross cultural collaborations with other departments and Cultural Centers, contacting vendor for quotes, reaching out to clubs for performance, and handling day of logistics/execution. Programmers also provide mentorship and support to the API’s regarding program planning.

In order to be a Programmer, you must go through the API program, held each spring semester. You must be a first year, sophomore, or junior to apply to become an API.

AsACC Programming Interns (APIs)

The APIs are selected during the end of each fall semester and will start their internship the following spring semester. During this time, they will be mentored by the Programmers as well as exploring APIA issues during bi-weekly meetings. APIs will have the opportunity to showcase their identity and what they’ve learned throughout the semester. APIs will be able to shadow the Programmers and learn what it takes to be in that role. Being an API is not a paid opportunity but will have the opportunity to become a Programmer for the next school year.
