Staff Corner

We asked our UX/Web Design Intern, Sarah Mun, about why she joined Asian Student Achievement and what she’s learned through working here.

Welcome Christian So!

We are excited to welcome our new intern in Operations, Christian So! We are thrilled to have him on board, and greatly look forward to seeing what he will accomplish during his time with us!

Christian: I wanted to join ASA to develop my career skills in a professional setting and to prepare myself for future environments like this one.

Event Recap

Asian Student Achievement’s founder and CEO, Shane Carlin, had the opportunity to speak at the National Asian Peace Officers Association (NAPOA) Annual Training Symposium and Exposition on July 24th. The NAPOA conference focused on collaboration with law enforcement officers to promote diverse workforces and strong organizational development in order to foster deep relationships with the local community.

ASA is honored that Shane was able to share his expert fundraising experiences with the NAPOA conference attendees, and we would like to thank everyone who could listen in.
