The Korean-American Intercollegiate Network (KIN) is a student-run
organization designed to promote the interests of Korean-American
students across the country. KIN works to promote its vision on two different levels.
On a daily basis, KIN is a network set up over the internet used as an
information resource for the Korean-American student community. KIN's
network, set up utilizing students' university e-mail accounts, works
through the vast network of members across the country. All messages and
information that flows through the network originates from its members or
outside sources that use KIN to distribute information and
material in the interest of Korean-American/Asian-American students.
Fulfilling KIN's objective to "promote issues relevant to
Korean-Americans" requires the participation of all its members whether
this be by merely forwarding messages to the national office or to
regional chairs or actively creating advertisements or other informative
messages that other members would find interesting. If you would like to
use KIN's network to distribute information that is applicable to the
Korean-American or Asian-American community, we encourage you to send
the message to KIN at kin@dolphin.upenn.edu or to any of
KIN's other National Contacts. After
receiving the information, KIN will forward the message to its members. To
view the type of information that KIN members receive, check out our Activities page.
In order to create a greater impact for the Korean-American community,
KIN also works on a second level by undertaking major projects beneficial
to
our members and in the spirit of KIN's vision. Most of KIN's projects are
selected as a result of the demand by KIN's members and through its
Students' Delegates Assembly held annually at the Korean-American
Student's Conference (KASCON). KIN undertakes projects on a National and
Regional level. To check on the status of the KIN's projects regionally,
