ASAP does so by providing educational, professional, and social opportunities that encourage personal growth and the development of core competencies related to the field of Higher Education. ASAP strives to facilitate the assimilation of new members into the NYU and larger New York City community and acts as an advocate on behalf of its members and the Higher Education and Student Affairs program. Furthermore, ASAP seeks to create a cohesive and lasting experience that will positively impact its members and alumni for years to come.
