Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, traditionally hosted in May, is a celebration of Asians and Pacific Islanders in the U.S. The monthlong celebration commemorates the immigration of the first Japanese citizens to the U.S. in 1843, and marks the anniversary of the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869. The majority of the workers who laid the railroad tracks were Chinese immigrants.
Ferris’ 2015 Asian Pacific American Heritage Month celebration is sponsored by the Asian Student Organization, the Diversity and Inclusion Office, the Office of Multicultural Student Services and Student Government.
