On Saturday, July 23rd, a group of 34 past and present Terps got together to enjoy some delicious food, catch up on life, reminisce about UMD, network with one another, and learn about APAAN! The event attracted a diverse group, ranging from alumni who graduated in '82 to a current UMD undergraduate student, and included alumni from various backgrounds such as education, medicine and business. Thank you for making it a great event and keep a look out for more networking opportunities with APAAN! Click here to see pictures from the event! We look forward seeing you at our next event!

On Saturday April 16th, APAAN participated in the 7th Annual Charity Wiffle-ball Tournament hosted by the Asian American Student Union. Eight teams participated with over 16 APA organizations on campus, including the Gray Phantoms team comprised of UMD alumni from classes of 2006 through 2010. APAAN raised $450 adding to the total of over $4,400 to aid the Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief efforts.

As the 4th seeded team, the Gray Phantoms played every game with spirit, sportsmanship and teamwork. Although we did not make it to the semi-finals, every game was a nail-biter to the very end. Pictures from the event will shortly be posted on our website.

Thank you to all the supporters and team players who helped make this year's tournament games and fundraising efforts a success!

Bobby Truong (Co-Captain), Eric Chai, Junoh Brian Kim, Kumudha Kumarachandran, Silvy Song, Tommy Tang (Co-Captain), Aaron Chan, Shannon Liu, Sandra Vuong, Haomin Xu, Cathy Lin, Loretta Lee
