Welcome! Inter-Asian Council (IAC) was founded in 1992 at Johns Hopkins University by the Dean of Student Life to promote diversity in the JHU Homewood community as well as to explore and celebrate Asian Pacific Islander Desi American culture and identity. Today, IAC strives to connect student groups of the Johns Hopkins University to maintain lasting ties between these groups and the university, to develop programming that educates, explores and promotes issues pertaining to the Asian American and Pacific Islander community, and ignite the community to be engaged and empowered members of society.
