Asian American Student Union

The Asian American Student Union (AASU) was founded in 1997 in Florida State University by co-founders Rich Sealy and Faye Hunt in hopes of representing the large and growing Asian and Asian American population found within the campus. AASU eventually grew to become one of several agencies to be affiliated with the university's Student Government Association.

As the organization grew, it began to serve as an umbrella for several Recognized Student Organizations such as:

Chinese Language and Culture Association (CLCA),
Filipino Student Association (FSA),
Japanese Student Association (JSA),
Korean Undergraduate Student Association (KUSA),
Ladies of South Asia (LSA),
Vietnamese Student Association (ViSA),
alpha Kappa Delta Phi National Sorority, Inc.,
Lambda Phi Epsilon National Fraternity,
Sigma Beta Rho Fraternity, Inc.

and continues to work alongside with many new and upcoming organizations. Expanding its membership into the hundreds and gaining the attention of numerous colleges and universities throughout the southeast region, AASU has gone through tremendous transformations.
