What is Pass?
Pilipinx Academic Student Services is an entirely student-run organization formed in 1985 to address the educational concerns of Pilipinx students in pursuit of higher education. PASS attempts to remedy the lack of representation among the University's student population with respect to the growing Pilipinx population of California. The organization focuses primarily on increasing the educational opportunities available to these students through the implementation of various informational resources, support, and referral services. We provide programs targeted specifically toward the recruitment of high school and community college students, as well as programs for the retention of the University's registered students. PASS endeavors to maintain its commitment to the surrounding communities and to the University through efforts to preserve educational interest.
Recruitment
Getting underrepresented Pilipinx students into higher education. Either coordinated through outreach work or bringing students to UC Berkeley!
Retention
Making sure those students are successful once they get there. Coordinating events centered around the Pilpinx community here at UC Berkeley!
Internal
Handling all the essential organizational & financial support. All the operatives work to help sustain the work we do for PASS!
Transfer Recruitment
The team you either met through the presentation you attended or tabling you've seen is the Transfer Student Representatives of the Recruitment Component. Our wonderful staffer and interns assist in the recruitment of Pilipinx-identifying transfer students into higher education, with a preference of having students transfer into UC Berkeley. We attentively coordinate outreach trips in Socal, spearhead Transfer Weekend for PASS, and assist in transfer resource needs for other components.
This website is an extension of our mission and commitment in assisting students like you transfer into higher education!
