FILIPINX IN LIBERAL ARTS & HUMANITIES

PILIPINX OUTREACH & RETENTION

FILAH unites Fil-Am students in events related to Liberal Arts and Humanities. Their mission is to provide social, academic, cultural, and personal support to students in the various liberal arts, humanities, and social science fields. FILAH’s programs adhere to this mission, allowing artistic and social outlets to its members while contributing to the community at large with events that preserve Filipinx heritage while challenging current sociopolitical issues. It is also a means for expression within the UC Davis Fil-Am community. The organization is open to people of all backgrounds, not just Filipinxs.

BRIDGE was created in 1987 because of the steadily decreasing number of Pilipinxs pursuing higher education on a yearly basis. Their goal is to empower students to transform this educational system and validate the complexity of the Pilipinx culture through our services, which include: - High School Outreach: provide resources and mentorship to encourage students to pursue higher education - Academic & Personal Support: offer resources to students to support them achieve the goal of graduation and to increase the recruitment and retention rate of Pilipinx students at all levels of education
