We foster the professional and cultural development of our students through augmenting leadership and progressive, discussion-based meetings. IDEAAL is dedicated to aiding freshmen to navigate the overwhelming college atmosphere by providing a safe-space and guidance from carefully-paired mentors. We also serve as a discussion forum focused on how various issues impact Asian-Americans and what we can do to create decisive change. The organization fosters opportunities to develop a sense of belonging on campus, increase awareness of our shared Asian identity and solidify fundamentals for future career growth.
