The Emory Asian Women’s Association recognizes the need for a unified, open community at Emory concerning with the issues facing women of Asian descent in Western society (Asians around the world). The purpose of the Emory Asian Women’s Association is to address these needs by creating a collective voice and promoting the prominence and concerns of the female Asian population, both within and outside of the community, particularly through regular discussion of pertinent issues. In addition to involving EAWA membership, the actions and activities of the organization will be directed outwards to the Emory population and our greater community.
