Empower API students as leaders!
Support two students and two faculty/staff to attend the APAHE Conference, a transformative event that empowers Asian & Pacific Islander (API) students to become leaders.
The two-day APAHE conference immerses students in a growing network of educators and peers who share their cultural experiences as they learn to reflect their identity and raise awareness of the challenges and accomplishments of Asian Pacific American in higher education. Through workshops and discussions, students gain valuable leadership opportunities, cultural connections, and professional development. This year’s theme—Choosing Humanity: Co-Creating Joy, Justice, and Leadership—will inspire students to become leaders of change in their communities and beyond.
Your generous donation supports the next generation of API leaders!
How will donations be used?

- $150 donation provides lunch and dinners for one student.
- $200 covers the cost of car rental from Chico to Oakland.
- $500 covers conference registration for one student.
- $450 covers lodging for two nights.
Support APIC’s Impact on Campus!
APIC is focused on strengthening support and resources for the API community at Chico State. Key efforts include creating mentorship opportunities for students through partnerships with API staff and faculty, fostering collaboration across students, staff, and faculty, and building community and allyship with other campus affinity groups.
In Fall 2023, the University Diversity Council (UDC) formally recognized APIC’s pivotal role in helping Chico State work toward qualifying for AANAPISI (Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution) status. Additionally, APIC collaborates closely with Student Affairs to support the APIDA Resource Center, ensuring continued growth and support for API students.
Why are donations necessary?
Your donation enables API students to attend a conference that empowers them to shatter the myths and obstacles that hinder success. Past attendees have returned to campus as leaders—becoming presidents of student organizations, paraprofessional mentors, and advancing to graduate school. Join us in empowering our API students to achieve academic success and pursue lifelong leadership roles!
