Welcome

AAPIFSA (Asian American Pacific Islander Faculty Staff Association) was founded in 1993 by Dr. Ellen Junn.  Since that time, AAPIFSA members helped to build and shape the API community on campus.  It has supported API students both through scholarships and financial support for various API activities, including the annual API Graduation Recognition Ceremony.  AAPIFSA recognizes and takes pride in the growing numbers of Asian and Pacific islanders who work at Cal State Fullerton and strives to mentor new API faculty and staff and to maintain a supportive API community.  

Want to help? We meet at noon the second Friday of every month so come join us in person or on Zoom. Email us at aapifsa@fullerton.edu for more information.  We operate solely on donations.  If you would like to make a donation, please visit our Support AAPIFSA page.
