Meeting Information

Time: 7pm-9pm

Location: TBA on a weekly basis

Visit our various websites for meeting updates!

APIQ (Asian & Pacific-Islander Queers) is a non-profit student organization at UC Davis founded in 1999.

Our mission is to provide a safe, confidential space for students who identify as both API (Asian and/or Pacific-Islander) and LGBTQQIA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, Queer, Intersex, Asexual).

Also, many of our events are open to the community, regardless of ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, or age. We hope to enrich and educate all students in the UC Davis community who are interested in queer and Asian issues.

APIQ holds a variety of meetings and events throughout the year such as socials, discussions, and workshops where we explore important topics like identity, coming out, health, and politics. At the same time, we encourage strong bonds and friendships, and many consider APIQ as a second family.

In general, APIQ meets every Thursday from 7pm to 9pm.

If you are thinking of joining APIQ, we welcome new members to every meeting, so feel free to come anytime. Please don’t be shy to come alone!

The location and topic of each meeting is announced weekly through our mailing list (send an e-mail if you're interested), as well as our various websites!

• Dodgeball in the Wellman Pit: Each year, sometimes multiple times APIQ hosts a large dodgeball game in the Wellman pit in place of a regular meeting.
  

• Assassins: An intense game, played outside of regular APIQ meetings, in which players must eliminate assigned targets through in an effort to eventually become the last surviving player. Do you have what it takes to be on top?
  

• Queer Prom: A dance party during Spring Quarter put on by APIQ Core for the LGBTQQIA community and our allies, at which we celebrate the night away!

2010-09-08 11:43:44   I love APIQ <3 —AshleyMatson

2010-10-24 23:07:48   Y'all should list another contact number, as it makes communication easier for people. Since you removed the previous one. —ThUn

2010-10-30 12:24:58   Aww, this page is so boring now :( —AshleyMatson

• Agreed. I was tempted to restore the deleted material, but just don't have the time. More=better on the wiki. —cp
  

2010-11-16 04:14:41   Howcome y'all removed the list of officers? Most other organizations list their chairs. —ThUn

• I'm assuming some people didn't feel comfortable with their names on it. It was the co-coordinator's choice, so it's not really a big deal—and APIQ doesn't really need to do something just because other orgs do, don't you think? —AshleyMatson
  

• Well hmmm, first you didn't like that the extended information was removed. And now it seems you no longer care. I'm not saying that APIQ should have it up just because other organizations do. It just used to be there, and typically on other wiki pages that are moderated by more people, taking down historical information is at times frowned upon. Usually even a list of past officers for several years is offered. —ThUn
  

• Yup, that's why I helped to restore some of the important info that people probably would want. However when it comes to the personal names and whatnot it's not my place to put them back. :) —AshleyMatson
