The Asian Pacific Islander Faculty and Staff Association (APIFSA) was formed in April 2021 in response to the increase in anti-API hatred and violence reported around the country. Our mission is to create a safe space and a strong voice to advocate for API faculty and staff across the USC community.
Our purpose is achieved through six actions:
-
- Advocacy and Social Change
- Allyship and Coalition Building
- Representation and Caucus
- Support and Community Engagement
- Awareness and Outreach
- Professional Development, Mentorship and Networking
