✨ APAHM GALA 2025: BEYOND EVERY MASK ✨

Join us for this year’s APAHM Gala as we celebrate Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and honor the incredible contributions of Asian and Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) students in our community! 🌏💫

🎭 Theme: Beyond Every Mask 🎭
Too often, the Asian/APIDA community is seen as a monolith—but beyond every mask lies a rich diversity of cultures, histories, and experiences. This night will be a reflection on the stories we’ve had to conceal, the identities we reclaim, and the solidarity we share.

✨ We will also recognize graduating Asian/APIDA students and highlight those who have been actively engaged in our community! Let’s come together to celebrate our heritage, resilience, and future.

📍 International Ballroom, IMU
125 N Madison St, Iowa City, IA 52245
📅 Saturday, April 19th
🕕 Doors Open: 6 PM | Event: 7–9 PM

Come dressed in your best and get ready for a night of community, culture, and celebration! 💛
