WELCOME! A Message from the PASU Co-Chairs…

Hi everyone!

Mabuhay! Welcome to the Pilipino American Student Union (PASU) – get ready for an amazing year! Although PASU is a multi-faceted organization, with committees specifically focusing on topics such as community service and cultural dance, it began as a student group focused on political issues surrounding the Filipino and Filipino American community. At the heart of PASU is our passion to raise awareness of a constantly relevant culture. Whether we're at the front lines of a parade in support of WWII Veterano rights or working behind-the-scenes to create a college preparatory curriculum for students at Fremont High School, PASU seeks to explore our issues firsthand...

And we're excited to share our continual exploration of these issues with you!

Love,
Leslie and Rafael
PASU Co-Chairs 08-09
