What is SASE?

The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers, or, SASE, for short, at UCSD is a pre-professional organization dedicated to promoting professional development and preparing undergraduates for their futures, whether it be graduate school, research in a lab, an engineer, or anything in-between. We help students by organizing professional events and workshops, such as our annual networking event Dining with Professionals, resume workshops, and more.

SASE's Mission Statements:

  • To prepare Asian heritage scientists and engineers for success in the global business world
  • To celebrate diversity on campuses and in the workplace
  • To provide opportunities for members to make contributions to their local communities
