Historical Note
The Asian American/Pacific Islander Resource Center (AA/PIRC) works with UC Santa Cruz
students who identify as part of the Asian American, Pacific Island, and Southwest Asian and
North African (SWANA) diaspora. The resource center was founded in 1998, partically in
response to demands from student activists who protested Proposition 209. One of the primary
goals of the AA/PIRC is to provide a central resource for AA/PI and SWANA students to
address their academic, social, cultural, and other needs.
