First launched in spring 2016, the EPIC Learning Community supports college success for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students, including but not limited to Cambodian, Filipino, Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese, and Samoan American students.  EPIC is open to all students who have an interest in exploring topics related to self-awareness, personal growth, cultural identity, Asian Pacific American History, Political Science, and written and oral communication through the lens of the AAPI experience.
