Empowering Positive Initiatives for Change (EPIC)

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 Pacific Islander American students who are low-income and/or first-generation college. 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. The goal of EPIC is to motivate and prepare today’s EPIC students to become tomorrow’s AAPI leaders through classes and activities that foster educational achievement, personal empowerment, and civic engagement. Our objectives are to identify, recruit, support, and increase the number of AAPI students who complete an associate degree and transfer to a four-year university.
