Welcome to the newly created AAAN Bay Area webpage! Hopefully, you're reading this because a fellow alumnus referred you here.

Our organization and network is so new that we need your help to expand our outreach. You can do this by forwarding this website address to your Illinois contacts living in the San Francisco Bay area, and asking them to join our new listserve. It is a moderated listserve with the intent of minimizing any unnecessary or random emails to your inbox.

Whether you're one year out of Illinois or twenty, we hope you'll support our grassroots efforts to connect with each other here in the Bay area!

Depending on the success of initial networking programs, we hope to expand our programming into the professional, cultural, service, and academic arenas.

For now, help us to connect with each other! Subscribe to our listserve!

We are just a local chapter, so consider also joining the national University of Illinois Asian American Alumni Network by registering your name and information on their website.

You are not required to be a member of the greater University of Illinois Alumni Association to be a member of AAAN. And Membership is FREE!
