Welcome to the SUNY/CUNY Southeast Asia Consortium!

The SUNY/CUNY SEAC is an interdisciplinary initiative to promote research, teaching, and related efforts around Southeast Asia and Southeast Asian Americans in New York’s public universities.

The Southeast Asia Consortium (SEAC) aims to develop institutional infrastructure and robust connections across New York’s public university systems—the 64-campus, 370,000-student State University of New York (SUNY) and 25-campus, 270,000-student City University of New York (CUNY)—with the wider New York public and policy community, and with counterparts in Southeast Asia. The statewide SEAC links faculty, students, alumni, and surrounding communities.
