WELCOME!!!
PASS (Pilipino Academic Student Services) is an entirely student-run recruitment & retention center at the University of California Berkeley! We're here for every step of your journey--from elementary school to life after college :) Check us out!!

RETENTION
Since 1996, PASS has been divided into three components. All of these components work together to build a cohesive community for current students to be a part of and prospective students of all ages to explore. One of these components is the Retention component. PASS provides various services to ensure the success of students in UC Berkeley. By providing academic resources and social services, we aim for the students to have a fulfilling and rewarding college experience. The Retention component of PASS consists of four positions. These positions include: Assistant Director of Retention, Student Affairs Advisor, PASOC Facilitator, and Gender & Sexuality Awareness Coordinator. The programs and services offered through PASS Retention all aim to build a community of conscious, academically, politically, and socially retained individuals at UC Berkeley

 

Pilipino American Student Orientation Class (PASOC)

Want a great way to meet people, develop your networking skills, learn about campus resources and Pilipino culture? Then this two unit class is a great chance! This class will be offered in the fall semester.
Contact PASOC Facilitator Lex Lachica for more information.

Biyuti

Biyuti is one of PASS's newer programs. The program was started to respond to the growth of the sexual minority within the Pilipino-Cal community. Thus, we seek to create a space without gender or sexuality borders. Our hopes are to create a strong family environment amongst its membership. As a family, we will have discussions by upholding confidentially, open, and safe attitudes. We seek to retain Pilipinos in the Berkeley community who identify as gay, lesbian, bi-sexual, transgender, queer, or questioning. Finally, we can not forget to have exciting and memorable experiences with each other through outings, mixers, and retreats.
Check back with us soon to find out more about Biyuti!

PATHWAYS

In collaboration with the other professional Pilipino organizations at Cal (P4, PASAE, PAHC and PAA), Pathways is an event intended for incoming freshmen to discover the different majors offered by UC Berkeley. Upperclassmen from different disciplines hold workshops to help freshmen map out a four-year plan while at Cal and give them an idea of how to plan a graduation in the desired time period.
Check back with us soon to learn more about how you can be involved with Pathways!

PANAMA

Wondering what you want to do after college? Want to know what alumnis are up to? Wondering how you can network with other people and get help for your post-graduation plans?
In a collaboration with in collaboration with Pilipino Association for Health Careers (PAHC), Partnership for Pre-Professional Pilipinos (P4), Pilipino American Alliance (PAA) and Pilipino Association of Scientists, Architects and Engineers (PASAE), PASS creates a forum for current students and UC Berkeley alumni to meet and discuss opportunities for students after they graduate from UC Berkeley.
