Welcome to the AandPI Retention Initiative
The Strategic Asian and Pacific Islander Retention Initiative (SAandPIRI) is a welcoming space and open to all students, regardless of identity, who are interested in exploring and understanding the Asian and Pacific Islandar diasporic experiences and engaging in productive dialogue and community with others. The retention initiative serves as a valuable resource for any student who seeks to develop their cultural competency and contribute to a campus environment that values diversity, connection and a shared commitment to the success of all students.
Why AandPI?
Championing the addition of ‘and’ is a visible marker of connectivity and affirmation, which positions the retention initiative as a bridge to the broader UC Davis community for our Asian and Pacific Islander students. AandPI more accurately describes the diversity of our community and affirms our commitment to living the Principles of Community.
We are AandPI
Inclusivity, Resilience, Family, Community, Leadership, Journey, Goals, Strengths. These are the words which inspire our Asian and Pacific Islander graphic element. This graphic element was a year-long process and was developed in partnership with the scholars of our AandPI community.
