The Asian-American Student Union (AASU) is the University of Maryland College Park umbrella organization of which FCA is part. The AASU includes nearly thirty cultural organizations and associations. Much communication goes on between the various organizations, as many large events throughout the year are hosted by two or more organizations from AASU. One of the many tasks of the executive board seat of Public Relations Officer (currently held by Maricel Hernandez) is to facilitate communications between the Filipino Cultural Association and the other organizations, not only from AASU but throughout the university.
