NYU's Largest Asian Umbrella Organization
Established in 1972, Asian Cultural Union remains the only Asian umbrella group at NYU and is one of the largest and most prominent organizations in the history of the university.
Our mission is to celebrate and promote Asian cultures through cultural, social, and business-oriented events, as well as community service projects.
Because of our diverse membership, ACU seeks to promote the learning and understanding of individual heritages, while simultaneously creating unity among students of all ethnic backgrounds.
ACU is an all-inclusive organization that welcomes members of all backgrounds. ACU was founded upon and continues to operate under the precepts of racial and social tolerance, indiscrimination, and equality. Look out for Spring 2024 apps in the future!
