Our Mission

The Asian/Pacific American Student Services (APASS) serves to advance the University of Northern Colorado’s mission and vision through the recruitment and retention of Asian and Pacific American students and students from the state of Hawaii, to encourage all students to achieve their scholastic and professional goals through academic, cultural and social development, and to provide an avenue for continued Asian education within the University.

Our History at A/PASS

The Asian/Pacific American Student Services began in 1995 by Karie Yoshioka as an office in the Michener Office. In 1996, the Kohl House became the new and present home of APASS. Since then, four student organizations have begun—The Asian American Cultural Club, Ha’aheo ‘O Hawai’i, The Korean-American Students Association and State-808 Volleyball Club, allowing for students to engage in extra-curricular activities and community service.

The center houses both A/PASS and the Native American Student Services (NASS) and is the brick house located at 924 20th St. You may also reach the center by calling 970-351-1909. We have created a resource library and are continually increasing the holdings in the library. We also have a mini-computer lab downstairs with five new PC computers. All are hooked up to the university backbone, allowing access to the internet and e-mail. There is a networked printer to all the computers as well. The center has two kitchens available for all students to use and we invite all students to come visit the center!
