Established in 1987, the Asian Business Students Association (ABSA) is now one of the largest and most prestigious organizations at The University of Texas at Austin with over 300 members a year. Our purpose is to develop Asian Americans as successful leaders in the professional world. At its foundation, ABSA is built upon the dedication of hard-working members and generous sponsors. With the help of our sponsors, we prepare our members for success in the corporate world by providing insightful resources, creating exposure to a wide array of industries, and building strategic partnerships with leading firms. What we provide our members is found directly in our three pillars: Professional, Social, and Philanthropic. We offer around 150 events every year for our members in the hopes of creating well-rounded leaders who thrive in the business world, establishing a family in a large university, and making a difference in the community.
