Celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month

Cañada College is proud to be an Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI). Among our student body, 15% identify as Asian, 5% as Filipinx and 1% as Pacific Islander. Cañada’s AANHPI community reflects a rich diversity of ethnicities, cultures, identities, languages and immigration stories—contributing to the broader AANHPI population, which includes more than 45 distinct ethnic groups across the United States. Recognizing that May is a busy time with finals and end-of-year activities, Cañada College is celebrating AANHPI Heritage Month across both April and May. Be sure to check out the calendar of events, which will culminate in the AANHPI Graduation Celebration on May 13, 2025. The campus community can download AANHPI Zoom backgrounds here and AANHPI an e-signature banner here!
