About
Kawan envisions an undergraduate and graduate Pilipino Catholic community that (1) is all-inclusive where members are invited to grow in their spiritual lives and understanding of Catholicism from a Pilipino scope, (2) provides visibility of and support to the Catholic student population at and beyond UCLA, (3) proactively educates peers about the history of Catholicism in the Philippines, and (4) invites and supports the inclusion of the non-religious. Kawan is open to all undergraduate and graduate students and alumni regardless of ethnicity or religion. Kawan is a recognized organization under the umbrella of the Catholic Students Association at UCLA popularly known as the University Catholic Center (UCC).
The club's own words, from UCLA's directory (2025).
