USC Athletics Celebrates APIDA Heritage Month
May 18, 2021 | USC Athletics
May is APIDA (Asian, Pacific Islander, Desi American) Heritage Month, and USC Athletics is dedicated to celebrating its student-athletes and staff as well as educating its fans about this diverse group of individuals. Over the course of the month, we will highlight Trojans who have unique stories to tell as members of the APIDA community. We also aim to lift the APIDA community up by supporting APIDA-owned businesses and shining a spotlight on causes such as #StopAsianHate.
