Kasama: The Filipino Club at Yale

The Tagalog@Yale initiative began as a simple idea: to bring accredited Filipino language instruction to our campus. Today, we are proud to announce that Yale has officially advertised for a Filipino (Tagalog) instructor position, with courses slated to begin in Fall 2025.

The success of this program hinges on finding a passionate and qualified educator who can bring the language to life in the classroom. We encourage qualified individuals to apply and invite our network to share this opportunity widely. The full job advertisement can be found at:

While this news marks significant progress, we recognize it as a beginning rather than an end. The real work of establishing a robust, enduring Filipino (Tagalog) program lies ahead. All of us at the Tagalog@Yale team are committed to supporting this transition and ensuring the program's long-term success.

This Friday, catch Kasama at the Southeast Asia Spring Festival to learn more about the Tagalog@Yale initiative! 🌺

03.29 🌊 5:00-7:30 pm at Luce Hall.

This year, the East Coast Asian American Student Union Conference returned to Yale for its 46th conference, hosting hundreds of Asian American and Pasifika students from across the coast.

Kasama Co-President Elisa Cruz and Social Chair Marissa Halagao hosted a workshop “Miracles in a Can: Tracking Asian and Pasifika identities through SPAM and Beyond”
& Patricia, Elisa, Ava, and Mark blew the crowd away with a tinikling performance for the opening ceremony.

Maraming salamat! .yale 🫶

Back from popular demand, .kasama was able to revive a past tradition of Kamayan, a budol fight arranged for Kasama members past and present.

Salamat to those who could make it. We hope that even more of you can be in community with us next time. Kitakits! 🌞
