Alumni Involvement

"My career trajectory after Stanford was heavily influenced by my work at the A³C. I focused on social justice work – as an attorney at the ACLU and Associate Director of the City of San Francisco Department on the Status of Women."

On an ongoing basis, the Asian American Activities Center (A³C) collaborates with the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) to identify class leaders and plan events that appeal to the increasingly diverse group of alumni. The center also works in partnership with SAA in planning Homecoming Reunion each October. A³C also collaborates with the Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club (SAPAAC) to co-sponsor various events throughout the year to promote involvement of Asian American alums.

Stanford Asian Pacific American Alumni Club (SAPAAC) Volunteer Events: Get Involved!

SAPAAC is one of Stanford University’s largest national alumni organizations. Established in 1989, SAPAAC is dedicated to connecting Asian Pacific American (APA) alumni to the Stanford community. We organize networking and community building opportunities, advocate for APA communities on campus and host a range of social and public service events for APA alumni in the Bay Area and across the country.

Want a way to stay involved beyond Stanford? Looking for way to connect with other Asian American alumni? Sign up for SAPAAC membership and/or consider joining a SAPAAC working committee! We welcome your input and energy in helping with our Events Committee, Issues & Advocacy Committee, and Membership Committee.

Since then, each of Stanford's four ethnic community centers: Asian American Activities Center, the Black Community Services Center, El Centro Chicano y Latino; and the Native American Cultural Center have participated. Alumni are inducted in honor of their distinguished service to their communities and society at large.  Each year the award is presented by the community centers at a festive ceremony and reception during Reunion Homecoming Weekend sponsored by the Stanford Alumni Association.

The 2022 Asian American Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee is Aly Kassam Remtulla '98.  This year's inductee biography and a list of previous inductees can be found on the Asian American Multicultural Hall of Fame page.
