An academic and social community

The Contemporary Asian Studies Student Union (CASSU) is the undergraduate course union for the Contemporary Asian Studies program at the University of Toronto. CASSU strives to strengthen students’ understanding of contemporary Asia from a global perspective and promote interest in the region and involvement in the Asian Institute community. Each year, CASSU organizes social, cultural, academic and professional events for current and prospective CAS students, as well as the wider U of T student community.
