Since 1978, the month of May has been nationally established as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM), as a celebration of Asian and Pacific Islander cultures, histories, and identities in the growth and development of America today. However, we will be holding APAHM in the month of April because our university's calendar ends beginning/mid of May.
