About GraduAsian
After a nine-year hiatus, GraduAsian was revived in 2021 from students’ desire to be recognized for their achievements. GraduAsian is a celebration held to commemorate the many achievements of UT’s graduating Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) students. 2022 GraduAsian was momentous, as it was the first time celebrating APIDA students’ achievements in person.
