Asian American and Pacific Islander Alumni Chapter

WHO WE ARE
The mission of  AAPI Alumni at Fordham's (AAF) is to promote and celebrate the AAPI presence at Fordham University. Our goal is to raise awareness about contemporary AAPI issues and concerns, and to foster a sense of community among AAPI alumni through social, academic, business, and mentoring. 

At AAF, we prioritize the wellbeing and success of Fordham Alumni. We strive to create opportunities for mentorship and professional development, and to provide a network of support for graduating students as they navigate their career paths. 

We believe that by coming together as a community, we can make a significant impact on the Fordham campus and beyond. As an inclusive and collaborative organization, we welcome new ideas and perspectives from our members and are committed to continuously growing and evolving to meet the changing needs of our community.
