About the Pittsburgh Asia Consortium

 

The Pittsburgh Asia Consortium (PAC) is a collaboration of academic and non-profit organizations in and around the greater Pittsburgh area. PAC aims to foster greater knowledge and understanding about Asia, which encompasses many peoples, languages, literatures, and disciplines, across a broad geographical area of the world.

The goal is to bring together organizations with an interest in educating academics, students, and the community about Asia; but, who may individually lack sufficient faculty, resources, or finances to do so on a sustained basis. PAC is an equal partnership among all members.

The definition of outreach activities is defined so as to fall within the National Resource Center mission for Title VI grants in East and South Asian Studies. The Asian Studies Center (ASC) of the University Center for International Studies (UCIS) at the University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) spearheaded the establishment of PAC and currently administers its financial accounts and provides other administrative and financial support.
