We are so excited to announce the theme for Fall 2022 PASO is Endless PASObilities! 🤩🚌

This theme shines a light on the fact that incoming students will be entering a new space/environment where they have access to anything and everything. Hopefully, PASO will help them envision how they want to navigate their time here at UC Berkeley.

PASO is the orientation that PASS (Pilipinx Academic Student Services) hosts every semester to introduce the incoming Pilipinx/Pilipinx American Students to not only Campus resources, but also the Pilipinx/Pilipinx American community and show them Pilipinx-specific resources such as orgs on campus, connections, etc...

With these past two years being virtual, we will need all the support we can get to ensure that this year's PASO goes well and helps these incoming students find ease in their transition into UC Berkeley. Join PPC now and/or stay tuned for the volunteer form!!! 🥰

𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯   
Eastwind Books has joined forces with to bring you this exclusive virtual poetry event. 𝘠𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘯 emerges in defiance of the dominant explanation offered by American Scientists, and restores a narrative of a discredited and ignored people. Wielding words as semantic siphons in poems that sing and challenge, Vang restores a vital narrative in danger of being lost, and brilliantly explores what it means to have access to the truth and how marginalized groups are often forbidden that access. This is an event you definitely don’t want to miss!!!

Thank you to our other event cosponsors, and
