October is declared as Filipino American History Month (FAHM, also known as PAHM, or Pilipino American History Month) by the Filipino American National Historical Society (FANHS). Coinciding with the PAHM national recognition of Pilipino history and culture, Samahang Pilipino invites you to the kick-off and groundbreaking for this year's Campaign for Pilipino Studies, "Pilipinos for Accessibility, Visibility and Expansion (PAVE)"!
Join us as we launch this exciting campaign for the year and open up our accompanying exhibit, "Looking Back, Looking Forward: Pilipino Studies at UCLA," which will remain on display at the Kerckhoff Art Gallery (located at Kerckhoff Hall, 2nd Floor) throughout Week 4. Learn more about our goals and find ways to get involved as we share the vision of expanding academic learning opportunities relevant to the Pilipino community.

"Looking Back, Looking Forward: Pilipino Studies at UCLA," on display at Kerckhoff Art Gallery, draws awareness to the Samahang Pilipino's Campaign for Pilipino Studies, known as "Pilipinos for Accessibility, Visibility and Expansion (PAVE)." The exhibit aims to inspire its viewers to realize the future potential of Pilipino Studies as a center of research and department of study among the academic fields at UCLA. The display showcases current courses and imagining new realms -- avenues which can ultimately increase accessibility of Pilipinos in higher education, visibility of the Pilipino community and expansion of Pilipino knowledge.
