Established in 1970, Asian Pacific-Islander Student Alliance (APSA) at UCSD is an org focused on addressing the concerns and issues within the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. We strive foster an inclusive, student-led community to encourage socio-political awareness, empowerment, and activism within the Asian American and Pacific Islander community at UCSD in the following ways: cultivating community spaces and connections where issues such as those political, educational, cultural and social can be discussed; increasing awareness about our API history and heritage within the university and the greater community; uniting as a community resource to represent a common voice and thereby empower ourselves; and serving as a support network for building bonds and addressing differences between students. We actively participate in numerous spaces and with many different individuals, groups, and departments at and beyond UCSD to engage in meaningful community building efforts.
