On May 13, 2025, the Asian & Pacific Islander Caucus (APIC) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) hosted its second annual AAPI Heritage Month celebration, with generous support from the Affinity Group Council and the Provost’s Office. Building on the success of last year’s inaugural event, this year’s gathering brought together over 30 faculty and staff members for a lively and memorable luncheon at the Faculty Center.
Now an anticipated tradition on campus, the celebration featured a generous Asian fusion lunch from local restaurants and offered a welcoming space for conversation, laughter, and end-of-semester connection. The atmosphere was relaxed and vibrant, with participants reconnecting across departments and enjoying the opportunity to unwind together before the summer break.
What began in 2024 as APIC’s first in-person gathering during AAPI Heritage Month has quickly grown into a signature event at UNCG. With strong attendance and enthusiastic feedback, the annual celebration is helping shape a more connected campus culture and offers faculty and staff a meaningful way to mark the end of the academic year.
The success of this year’s event signals the continued growth and impact of APIC’s work in fostering a strong sense of community at UNCG. Plans are already underway to make next year’s gathering even bigger and better.
