Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month 2026

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. It is a time to honor the rich cultures, traditions, and contributions of AAPI communities and highlight their vital role in shaping our society.

As we celebrate the vibrant cultures and contributions of the AAPI community, we also acknowledge the hardships and devastation endured by generations of AAPI individuals amid discrimination, exclusion, and violence. 

Austin Community College (ACC) is proud to celebrate AAPI Heritage Month with a special event on May 2, 2026. This celebration will include a variety of engaging workshops and cultural activities, offering opportunities for the community to come together in recognition and appreciation of AAPI Voices. Join us for a day of learning, reflection, and celebration as we uplift the resilience, creativity, and cultural richness of AAPI Communities.
