ARC MISSION STATEMENT

The Asian Studies Development Program’s Association of Regional Centers is committed to promoting the study of Asia and Asian cultures in undergraduate programs at colleges and universities throughout the United States.

The mission of this Association is to provide high quality programs for faculty, administrators, staff, and students at member institutions and other institutions served by the regional centers.  The purpose of these programs is to enhance teaching, learning, and research in Asian studies.

To achieve this mission, the Association will seek to:

  • continue to work closely with the East-West Center and the University of Hawaii in planning and developing projects;

  • develop effective modes of communication to link colleges and universities;

  • develop collaborative strategies that colleges can use to share resources;

  • provide advice and counsel to colleges and universities on implementing models for infusing Asian studies into the curriculum;

  • develop grants to fund institutes, workshops, and seminars on Asia that are jointly sponsored and collaboratively coordinated;

  • develop programs that can serve as models for a variety of different colleges and universities interested in Asian studies;

  • develop non-academic activities and outreach programs to reach the communities our colleges and universities serve.
