Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (APIDA) Student Involvement
About Us
Welcome to the Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (Apida) Community at UMD!
The APIDA Student Involvement Area focuses on student engagement on the University of Maryland campus, especially in fostering a deeper understanding of the diverse experiences and intersecting identities of Asian American, Pacific Islander, and Desi American students. Through social and cultural events, leadership opportunities, educational workshops, and student organization and personal advising, we offer a variety of services and programs for students to develop their personal, ethnic, and racial identities. We aim to empower students to engage in advocacy and create social change for APIDA communities and beyond.
