Who We Are
The Northern New York K-16 Consortium for Asian Studies was established in 2002 with the support of the Freeman Foundation. It is co-sponsored by the St Lawrence University Asian Studies Program and the St Lawrence-Lewis Counties BOCES School Improvement Program. Its goals are to support teaching about Asia in area K-12 schools and to increase cooperation between K-12 and colleges in our area. NNYCAS is meeting these goals by bringing K-12 students and teachers to cultural events at SLU, organizing conferences and workshops, creating this website, and sponsoring field trips for teachers.

Thanks to the following people who helped create this website: Kelly Fountain, Jennifer French, David Giver, Brenda Grindal, Jonathan Putney, David Webster, and Lenore Zaunere.
