Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2023

The AAPIHM 2023 Logo was designed by student, Lauren Lim '26.

Each May, the Office of Pluralism and Leadership (OPAL) works with a student planning committee to host Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPIHM), a month of events that focuses on Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) history, diversity, and experiences. Throughout this month, we hope to highlight stories from AAPI members who are less represented within the community, explore how one defines their own identities, and celebrate the unique beauty that comes from our experiences of culture and adversity.

Throughout the month of May, events featuring speakers, cultural dinners, performances, and discussions are planned and organized to promote and foster engaged reflection, exploration, and conversation on the intricacies of the API community as well as how this community contributes to mutual respect, diversity, and inclusion at Dartmouth.
