Another milestone at CSUH is the creation of the Pilipino Theatre class, allowing students to earn academic credit for participating in PASA's annuanl Pilipino Cultural Night.

PASA has also made its mark off campus by working with other community organizations. Last spring, we set up our first bone marrow drive with the Asian American Donor Program. We annually raise money and donate toys for the Philippine Children's Charity Fund.

The Future of  PASA

The organization has a mission and a responsibility to the community to act as a representative of the PIlipino and Pilipino American. Its duty if to open minds and increase the awareness of our presence on and off campus.
