Welcome to Asian Pacific Islander South Asian American Heritage (APISAA) Month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congress first made a public law declaring May Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in 1992, according to NPR<\/a>. It\u2019s a time to learn about and celebrate the contributions made by Americans from Asia as well as from the Pacific islands of Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We invite you to learn about just a few of the ways APISAA heritage enriches our Wilson College community, as well as ways you can seek community and support on NC State\u2019s campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\nBringing South-Asian Fashion to the Fashion Mainstream<\/h2>
