Welcome to the Council of Chinese American Deans and Presidents!
Now in its sixteenth year, CCADP remains committed to advancing the welfare of our members in higher education administration through the cultivation and promotion of leadership skills, professional collaboration, and career advancement.
CCADP, standing as a beacon of empowerment and unity within the Chinese American community, seeks to provide its members with the resources and connections to increase leadership opportunities for Chinese Americans in higher education. We have welcomed the inaugural cohort to our CCADP Leadership Development Institute, the organization’s official mentoring and leadership development program, and continue to plan engaging events for members, such as our Distinguished Speaker Series.
Through our collective efforts, we strive to foster leadership, advocate for our community's needs, and celebrate our rich cultural heritage. Together, lets continue to build bridges, inspire change, and make meaningful contributions to the world around us.
I am deeply honored to serve as your president, and I am committed to advancing our mission of promoting excellence and opportunity for all our members leading in higher education.
Thank you for your dedication and support. I encourage you all to actively engage with CCADP and look forward to meeting you in person at our annual gathering!

Preamble
The Council of Chinese American Deans and Presidents (CCADP) views diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as an asset to maintaining the preeminence of American universities, and promotes DEI of all Americans, including Chinese Americans, as academic leaders. These promotional efforts set diversity as a priority to create an environment of equity and inclusive excellence for students, faculty, staff, and alumni from different backgrounds. More importantly, these efforts are crucial in developing multicultural capacities that enrich the educational experience of students and better prepare them to live and work competently in an increasingly pluralistic society and a global economy.
The members of CCADP share a unique set of cultural values, traits, experiences, and beliefs in addressing challenges and opportunities facing the American higher education. CCADP aims to contribute to DEI in its broadest terms in higher education and commits to the success of its members through the organization’s mission and supportive functions.
