APIM (Asian, Pacific Islander & Middle Eastern) Association

The APIM Alumni Association consists of alumni who self-identify as Asian, Pacific Islander and Middle Eastern. Our mission is to honor and explore our diversity to cultivate a vibrant community where all APIM alumni belong. We come from diverse backgrounds and experiences and all work toward fostering a greater sense of community at William & Mary. Our vision is to ensure that APIM faces and voices are a core component of William & Mary's present and future identity.

History

The journey of the APIM Alumni Association began in fall 2019, when the Alumni Association started reaching out to alumni who identified as APIM. This effort led to the first virtual meeting of the APIM Leadership Circle in January 2021. By spring 2021, monthly meetings and a Dialogue & Community Forum on AAPI Hate , setting the stage for further engagement.

In anticipation of William & Mary’s Asian Centennial, the APIM Leadership Circle and WMAA Inclusion Initiatives team, collaboratively developed mission and vision statements, goals and objectives, as well a statement in support of the Afghani people. Finally, in Fall 2022, they created an advisory board structure and bylaws, officially launching the APIM Alumni Association.
