Asia Pacific Affairs Council (APAC)

The Asia Pacific Affairs Council (APAC) is a forum for all Columbia students interested in East and Southeast Asian affairs. Founded and run by students, APAC serves the entire university community by organizing events, distributing information, and coordinating East Asia-related activities while building a community for students interested in East Asia. APAC works with the Weatherhead East Asian Institute to fulfill its mission.

APAC is shaped by its members. The organization can be the vehicle through which to share your interests in East Asia, and we invite you to make use of it. We look forward to your active participation!
