Welcome to the website for the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies (IDAAS) at the Claremont Colleges.  Established in 1998, IDAAS represents a unique configuration of Asian American Studies in higher education as our department operates within a consortium of five undergraduate colleges and two graduate institutions that together form the Claremont Colleges.  Through the dedication of students, staff, faculty, alumni, and other supporters, IDAAS has managed over the past decade to build a vibrant constellation of courses, programming, and community engagement within and beyond our campus.  My hope is that you will find the website helpful in learning more about IDAAS.

Sincerely,
David K. Yoo
