Asian American Resource and Cultural Center
The Asian American Resource and Cultural Center officially opened in spring of 2005 as a result of dedicated student efforts to ensure that UIC support the needs of Asian Americans. 20% of the total UIC student body is Asian American while 13% of faculty and staff is Asian or Asian American. AARCC is also dedicated to educating the general campus about this diverse community.
