Conference

The East Coast Asian American Students Union conference is the premier Asian American collegiate conference in the United States. Founded in the 70's, this annual conference brings together student leaders from over 100 major universities to facilitate political activism and encourage educational dialogue. Today ECAASU is still at the forefront of the Asian Pacific-American movement—and Yale is proud to continue this tradition.

Hosted from February 8th to February 10th, ECAASU 2007 will return to New Haven to commemorate its founding at Yale thirty years ago. Over 1,000 students will gather at Yale looking to improve intercollegiate communication and reach out to the greater Asian American community. ECAASU 2007 gives us the perfect opportunity to reflect on the growth of the last thirty years and envision the future of Asian America.

This year, Yale prepares to welcome ECAASU back with speakers like Nusrat Durrani, the General Manager of MTV World; performers like Jin, one of the only Chinese American established rappers; and workshops and panels discussing subjects ranging from affirmative action to Asian American studies to inter-racial dating.
