Key Programs

Asian American Pacific American Heritage Month (AAPIHM) is a month-long celebration that occurs during the month of May. The purpose of AAPIHM is to celebrate, honor, and educate the Dartmouth community on issues of Asian Pacific American identity, history, and culture through educational programs, speakers, and community-building events. Formerly known as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, the celebration was renamed to be more inclusive of Pacific Islander identities and experiences within the larger Pan Asian community.

Each year, OPAL Pan Asian Student Advising recognizes individuals and groups who have significantly contributed to the Pan Asian Community at Dartmouth. Award recipients are nominated by the Dartmouth community and chosen through a student committee. PAC Awards include the Emerging Leader Award, Community Advocate Award, and the Outstanding Service Award

The Pan Asian Community Welcome is an informal event for new and returning students. Students have an opportunity to connect with staff and faculty and learn about student organizations and opportunities to get involved on campus.
