Kamayan is a Filipino tradition where you share a meal with others at a long table, using your hands. We’ll mirror the Kamayan tradition to share supplies as we craft and talk. Art supplies, food, and a mocktail station will be provided. 💚

Hello new and returning slugs! With fall quarter just around the corner, we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce AA/PIRC 🐢✨

AA/PIRC, or the Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center, creates opportunities for the campus community to connect with Asian, Pasifika/Pacific Islander, and SWANA (Southwest Asian + North African) culture through events, free resources, conferences, our annual night market, and other programs! In fact, our first event of the year is just around the corner 👀

We also share a physical location with two of our other resource centers — stop by to meet with our team, get SWANA snacks and other cultural food from our pantry, explore all the free K-Pop goodies at our K-Pop Korner, play mahjong, and more! 💜
