Asian and Pacific Islander Programs

Honoring Asian and Pacific Islander multicultural identities, backgrounds, and lived experiences at Lane

October is Filipino American History Month. The month of October was chosen to commemorate the arrival of the first Filipinos in Morro Bay, California on October 18, 1587. We also celebrate the birth month of Filipino American labor leader, Larry Itliong who is known as one of the fathers of the West Coast labor movement.
