The year 2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Pacific Islands’ Student Association at UCLA. To honor this milestone, we are bringing together students, alumni, faculty, and staff for an evening rooted in gratitude, reflection, and community. The celebration will highlight PISA’s legacy of student leadership and advocacy and will include welcome remarks, introductions of our current Board members and interns, prayer, shared food, and dancing to close the evening. Additionally, we are honored to welcome UCLA alumni Sefa Aina as our keynote speaker, whose leadership and contributions continue to inspire communities across generations.

We would be grateful to have you join us as we reflect on 40 years of PISA and celebrate the many individuals who have shaped and sustained this organization. If you are interested in attending, please RSVP here.
