APC's Annual Asian Pacific Islander Graduation (APIG)

What is APIG?

Since 1983, Asian Pacific Coalition has coordinated an annual, end of the year celebration and ceremony for AAPI graduates, known as API Grad or APIG. This event aims to highlight the achievements of the AAPI community on campus and send off graduating members of our community. Graduates are encouraged to wear cultural dress and submit their cultural names to be read during the ceremony.

Students from UCLA’s Kyoto Taiko showcase their drumming performance at APIG.
