We are a student-run group with a Penn Nursing club advisor at the University of Pennsylvania. At Penn, we will foster leadership development, peer mentoring, and engage in social events that will engender relationships that will carry the nursing profession forward. We seek opportunities for students to engage with faculty and community service events, particularly in the APA community.

The primary purposes of APANSA are to:

• Function as a support group for Asian Pacific American student nurses of all academic levels at Penn by fostering connections between members of the APA Nursing community
• Identify resources available to Penn students and provide support for APA student nurses by addressing the specific needs of the APA student nursing community at Penn
• Highlight relevant health issues affecting the Asian/Pacific-Islander American community and bring attention to them on Penn’s campus
