Asian Pacific Islander Middle Eastern Desi American (APIMEDA) Programs and Services

 

APIMEDA Programs & Services provides community and retention support for all students, centering those who are part of our large and diverse APIMEDA communities.

APIMEDA Programs and Services is an initiative within the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion organizational structure. As an office, we are continuing to develop and grow programs that center our large and diverse APIMEDA population as all members of the UC San Diego community find their place and thrive on campus.

APIMEDA Programs and Services encourages community development, enhances coalition building with and within the APIMEDA students, staff and faculty, fosters greater visibility for the diversity within the APIMEDA community, and helps students gain skills for success in their future careers. APIMEDA Programs and Services serves all students, centering those from a variety of ethnic and cultural groups that make up the Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Southwest Asian North African American communities.

Taking into considerations the access and achievement disparities between and amongst APIMEDA people, APIMEDA Programs and Services is tasked with providing sustained support and resources that  “truly take into consideration the voices of the students and communities" (CCAAS, 2014).

Sharing Our Invisible Histories

Many events in APIMEDA history are not shared through general education. The APIMEDA Sharing Our Invisible Histories series shares points in APIMEDA history that need more attention.
