Asian American Pacific Islander Desi Association
The NOCCCD Asian Pacific Islander Desi American mission is to advocate for the APIDA community by increasing awareness of APIDA issues and educating the campus community on issues centered around or related to our communities. APIDA supports events and resources for Cypress College, Fullerton College and North Orange Continuing Education.
NOCCCD APIDA (Asian American Pacific Islander Desi Association) is open to any NOCCCD faculty or staff member who is interested in furthering their understanding of the Asian Pacific Islander cultures represented on campus.
