Growing up while playing sports, many of us faced certain prejudices due to the fact that Asian individuals aren’t commonly seen performing at high levels in athletics. We recognize the importance of seeing people who look like you and are of similar backgrounds in the spaces you occupy, and APIAC’s goal is to create a community in which Asian athletes feel represented and uplifted at Penn and in their sport. We are a student group at Penn aimed to provide a group for AAPI Identifying student-athletes.
