On May 15, 2026, the Asian & Pacific Islander Caucus (APIC) at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) hosted its annual AAPI Heritage Month celebration in MHRA 3501, with generous support from the Affinity Group Council and the Provost’s Office.
Building on the success of previous years, this year’s gathering marked APIC’s largest turnout to date, bringing together more than 100 faculty, staff, and students for a lively and joyful luncheon. The event featured a diverse Asian fusion menu from local restaurants and offered a welcoming space for conversation, laughter, and connection across departments and campus communities.
What began as APIC’s first in-person AAPI Heritage Month gathering in 2024 has quickly grown into a signature campus tradition. The annual celebration now serves as an anticipated end-of-semester gathering, giving members of the UNCG community an opportunity to unwind, reconnect, and celebrate AAPI heritage together before the summer break.
The success of this year’s event reflects the continued growth and impact of APIC’s work in fostering belonging, visibility, and community at UNCG. By creating inclusive and informal spaces like this celebration, APIC continues to contribute to a more connected and vibrant campus culture.
Our UNCG is the home of 1,274 students, 48 staff, and 74 faculty members (as of Fall 2020) who trace their roots to Asia and the Pacific Islands. We treasure their contributions, respect their heritages, and share their pride, and we embrace every Spartan as our family.
