Hello! My name is Brian Su-Jen Chung and I am your Asian American Studies Department faculty advisor for 2024-25! The Asian American Studies Department recognizes that you may have a vast network of friends, staff, and faculty on campus to provide you support with your academic journey at CSUF. In the Asian American Studies Department, our goal is to provide an additional perspective with the specific intent of helping you enhance your undergraduate experience by incorporating your interests and passions for Asian American Studies into different activities on-and-off campus.
In addition to helping you navigate your course load towards the completion of your ASAM major or minor, we aim to provide a “holistic” approach to advising that considers who you are (e.g. existing interests, hobbies, potential career goals) to help you explore Asian American Studies through co-curricular activities, such as internships, volunteering, scholarships and research opportunities. We have existing relationships to people on and off-campus that we can mobilize to help you! That is, we aim to broaden your horizon of what Asian American Studies is, deepen your interests in topics and issues, and provide opportunities to develop new knowledge and skills for the future.
