Pacific Islands’ Student Association (PISA)

The Pacific Islands' Student Association has represented Pacific Islander students at UCLA since 1986, and a 2019 profile called it the first Pacific Islander student organization at a U.S. college. Its programs have included Pasifika Arts & Culture (PAC) Night, a cultural night that explains the meaning behind dances and practices, and the Pacific Islander Education & Retention (PIER) Project, which sends tutors and peer advisors to Los Angeles high schools and community colleges. It has also hosted IMUA, a youth conference for high school students at UCLA, and an NHPI youth health and fitness day.
