Our Graphic Element

Inclusivity, Resilience, Family, Community, Leadership, Journey, Goals, Strengths. These are the words which inspire our Asian and Pacific Islander graphic element. This graphic element was a year-long process and was developed in partnership with the scholars of our AandPI community.

Why AandPI?

Championing the addition of ‘and’ is a visible marker of connectivity and affirmation, which positions the retention initiative as a bridge to the broader UC Davis community for our Asian and Pacific Islander students. AandPI more accurately describes the diversity of our community and affirms our commitment to living the Principles of Community.
