The Yale Asian American Cultural Center (AACC) seeks to foster and showcase a community of scholars conducting research on issues that further our understanding of the community we hope to serve. The AACC Community Research Day is a casual scholarly and social convening where students from all disciplines, schools, and years can come together to engage each other’s research, ask questions, and share works in progress.
