Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Resources

Statement from the President

Dear APIDA Community,

Fullerton College has taken a proactive approach to demonstrate our care and support for Asian, Pacific Islander, and DESI American (APIDA) students, especially in recent times as national data show that an increase in racism towards the APIDA/AANAPISI community.

We want you to know that we are here for you! Our campus proudly declares that we have been designated as an Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander, Serving Institution (AANAPISI). We were also awarded the Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANAPI) Student Achievement Award Program grant. These designations and awards have helped us to create an APIDA student resource center and mobilize an APIDA Amplified Team that promotes three key initiatives to boost APIDA student joy and success on our campus.

Fullerton College aims to uplift every APIDA student, faculty and staff member and ensure you feel welcome and supported throughout your time with us.

Go Hornets!
