Our Mission

The Kansas/Asia Community Connection (KACC) aims to actively engage Kansans with China, Japan, and Korea. Through a variety of timely, high-quality programs, the KACC seeks to increase understanding of Asian culture, contemporary Asian affairs, and U.S. trade with East Asia in rural communities and agricultural constituencies in Kansas and throughout the Great Plains region. The KACC is also committed to encouraging dialogue between agricultural communities in Kansas and in Asia, to providing relevant information on Asia to Kansas businesses, media outlets, and government agencies, and to creating opportunities for rural youth to learn more about the cultural and economic significance of East Asia. The KACC is dedicated to partnering with other public and private organizations to broaden the global awareness of Kansans.

The Kansas/Asia Community Connection is housed in the Center for East Asian Studies at the University of Kansas.
