Thank you to all the participants for the year of 2009!
The Pilipino Graduation Celebration is a time that we can give to the graduating Pilipino students here at CSULB. Higher education has always been an important goal to the Pilipino culture and by having this event we celebrate this occasion. At PAC's Pilpino Graduation Celebration we provide a time in which family can come together and celebrate while also giving the graduate time to give a speech for friends and family. Come join us in celebrating this momentous occasion in your career.
The Pilipino American Coalition was formed from several pilipino students that took Asian American classes during the Fall 1971. With the guidance and help of Lloyd Inui, the head of the Asian American Studies Department at CSULB, Dr. Inui brought 7 pilipino students from two of his classes and the Pilipino American Coalition was established in 1971.
Today, PAC has become one of the largest and most influential Pilipino organizations in the state of California. Our purpose is to encourage and initiate programs that will be beneficial, socially, academically, and culturally to our members and the Pilipino-American community. Pilipinos consist of one of the largest Asian groups at California State University, Long Beach and with membership at an all time high, PAC will continue to be a strong organization for years to come.
