Sangam is an Asian-American student discussion group at the University of Pennsylvania. The mission of Sangam is to promote discussion on social, political, and cultural issues pertaining to the Pan-Asian community.
We hold monthly Chai Chat discussions (with free chai and samosas!) on a variety of issues; past topics include representation of Asians in the media, interracial dating, perceptions of beauty, as well as gentrification in and by AAPI communities.
We aim to serve as an outlet for conversation and a resource for proactive solutions. Often our topics are relevant to the broader minority community. Sangam is open to anyone who is interested in discussing these issues and to those who want to engender dialogue and awareness.
