General Lab Information

The Asian Pacific American Association (APAA) builds bridges of communication among Brookhavn Lab Asian Pacific American personnel through cultural programs, food festivals, picnics, cultural education, concerts, and other similar cultural/social activities. We work to create community among Lab and other similar organizations through scholarships, fund-raising, colloquia and conferences aimed at educating Lab staff and the community about issues of concern to Asian Pacific Americans, and to support Brookhaven Lab in shaping, improving, and achieving diversity goals and objectives.

  • To organize regular concerts, cultural celebrations, picnics, and educational activities each year.
  • To regularly invite accomplished guest speakers to address issues of interest to Asian Pacific American community.
