Our mission is to provide URI faculty, staff, students and their families opportunities to participate in cultural and linguistic activities relevant to those found in local Chinese and other Asian American groups, or any other national and ethnic culture groups that have adopted such elements. We aim to make contributions to the inclusive and diverse culture of the campus community and to create a warm and friendly environment on the URI campus for Chinese and other Asian American faculty and staff so that they can happily stay and contribute better to the teaching and research mission of the University.
