About

Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi American (APIDA) students make up 16.3% (5,566) of Mason’s total student population (2016-2017), with One-Year Persistence Rate of 91.3% (2015) and Six-Year Graduation Rate of 73.7% (2010). There are over sixteen Asian cultural student organizations at Mason. APIDA students and other students who are interested in cross-cultural learning can get involved.  As a voice for the APA student population, Asian Pacific American Coalition (APAC) works with other APIDA student cultural organizations to promote APIDA perspectives, raise cultural awareness towards APIDA issues, and network and collaborate with other progressive political voices on campus

Asian Pacific American Heritage Month

Though May is the national Heritage Month, the month of April is designated Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi American Heritage Month for the George Mason University community. During this month, Mason students, faculty, and staff will celebrate the cultural significance of Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi Americans as well as focus on issues of defining the Asian, Pacific Islander and Desi American identity, including other identities members of the community hold. Events throughout the month celebrate Asian cultural heritages, acknowledge contributions and achievements, as well as provide an in-depth exploration of the roles of Asian, Pacific Islanders and Desi Americans in American society.

Event

Proposals for an event to be included on the APAHM 2019 calendar are open until Friday, March 8 at 5 pm.​
