We are thrilled to celebrate our remarkable 20th Anniversary (2005-2025) milestone at the Asian American Resource Center!
Over the past two decades the AARC has been instrumental in providing academic support, advocacy, leadership, cultural experiences, community and sense of belonging to NIU students. From providing educational programs and cultural events to essential resources and community building, the AARC is making significant differences locally, regionally, nationally, and globally in the lives of many individuals: students, faculty, staff, community members, and alumni alike.
This celebration is not just about looking back, but also looking forward to greater possibilities! To continue our mission and expand our impact, we need your support.
Your generous contributions will directly support our ongoing programs and help us launch new initiatives that meet the evolving needs of our community. Every dollar makes a difference, whether it is funding educational workshops, supporting cultural festivals, or providing critical resources.
Why Your Support Matters:
For 20 years, AARC has been at the heart of empowering Asian and Asian American students at NIU. We've seen firsthand how our programs uplift, connect, and inspire. But as we look to the future, we know there's so much more to do. Your donation ensures that we can continue to provide vital services and expand our reach, fostering a stronger, more vibrant community for all.
To commemorate this historic milestone, we invite our friends, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community members to support the ongoing work of the AARC. Help us exceed our goal! Give $2, $20, $200, $2000, $200,000, or any other amount!
Together, let's build upon a wonderful 20-year legacy and create new opportunities for growth and connection for the future!
Funds raised will go to support programs like cultural immersion experiences, our peer mentor program, OHANA Nights, student leadership opportunities, the Boey Honors Program, student internships, AARC cultural exhibits and more.
