Assyrian Academic Society

The Assyrian Academic Society or AAS was established in 1983 in Chicago, Illinois, where there is a large "Assyrian" diaspora community. As stated in the preamble, the Assyrian Academic Society promotes Assyrian culture, history, and knowledge through a variety of activities including publications, lectures, and seminars. Its goal is to serve as an educational arm within the Assyrian diaspora and to introduce Assyrian heritage and contemporary history to the outside world. The organization is a registered 501 non-profit organization without any political orientation.
