THE CHANCELLOR'S COMMITTEE
ON THE STATUS OF ASIAN AMERICANS

THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT CHICAGO

Mission Statement

The Chancellor's Committee on the Status of Asian Americans (CCSAA) at UIC serves one of the most diverse universities in the nation, with Asian Americans comprising the largest minority group of its student body.

CCSAA’s mission is to:

• Promote the academic, social, cultural and professional welfare of UIC’s Asian American students, faculty and staff
• Advise the administration on University policy that affects Asian American constituencies
• Encourage scholarship and practices that reflect and respond to the increasing diversity of our campus and surrounding community in a rapidly globalizing world, and anticipate the ongoing demographic trends that show a rapid growth of Asian Americans among the U.S.'s and Illinois's ethnic constituencies
• Foster professional opportunities for Asian Americans on campus
• Cultivate relationships with alumni and Asian American communities in the metropolitan Chicago area
