Join Us for APIME Heritage Month at UNLV

Student Connection & Engagement invites you to join us in celebrating Asian, Pacific Islander, and Middle Eastern (APIME) Heritage Month at UNLV.

While April is nationally recognized as Arab American Heritage Month and May as Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, UNLV brings these together as APIME to reflect and celebrate the full diversity of our campus community.

We warmly invite you to attend these events and engage alongside students. Your presence matters, and we would love to see you there as part of this campus-wide celebration. For those who work directly with students, these experiences can also align with extra credit opportunities, reflection assignments, or experiential learning.
