APACC’s splashing success at Songkran!

Songkran is a time of tradition and family, almost the equivalent of Christmas in Thai culture. Families go to temples, build sandcastles, and pray to their loved ones. With a great symbolism of water, Songkran is celebrated by “cleansing” families, buddha statues, and believers with water.
APACC also celebrated the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander Month, which is held during the month of May. This month is a great way to acknowledge the AAPI community and recognize the contributions and influence to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States.
APACC is an organization that strives to educate and celebrate our AAPI students and their respective cultures. Meetings include activities, presentations, and events to help people learn more about culture in the Asian continent and feel more comfortable with different ways of life and perspectives. ALL ARE WELCOME! Anyone of any background and culture can join APACC’s meetings and membership. In fact, this is encouraged as culture is meant to be shared and learned by anyone and everyone!
