The Nikkei Student Union (formerly known as the Japanese American Society established in 1988) is the oldest and largest Japanese-interest organization on the UCSD campus. There is no need to be Japanese to be in the club, all you need is some interest in Japanese or Japanese-American culture, as that is what we strive to represent. We promote awareness of Japanese American and Japanese culture, history and issues on the UCSD campus as well as provide a meeting ground for all of our fellow Nikkei's to unite together into one huge NSU family.
