Pilipino/a/x Alumni Council
UC San Diego’s Pilipino/a/x Alumni Council is a volunteer-led affinity group supported by UC San Diego Alumni Relations. We value the cultural diversity of UC San Diego because it enriches our lives and the university. In an effort to bridge to communities of students and alumni, and increase visibility and communication, the Pilipino/a/x Alumni Council (PAC) was formed to celebrate the community.
Why use Pilipino/a/x and not Pilipin@ or Pilipina or Pilipino? The use of an “x” is intended to be inclusive while the three latter terms/identities exclude those who don’t identify within the gender binary.
Council Mission
The mission of the Pilipino/a/x Alumni Council is to promote the academic, personal and professional success of all students, including current and former Pilipino/a/x students at UC San Diego, through a community of support. We are committed to the advancement of students at UC San Diego through the giving of our time, talent and resources. We host professional development and networking opportunities, social gatherings, and a mentorship program for current students and the entire campus community.
