Our Mission

5 Components

As members of the Pilipino Undergraduate Society for Health (PUSH), we believe in the academic empowerment of Pilipino(a) American students.

Mentoring Component

"Friendship of the Pilipin@s"

Founded on April 6th, 1987, as a social gathering for Pilipin@s and Pilipin@-Americas to feel more comfortable on campus.

It has since grown to educating the community about the many aspects of Pilipin@ culture.

What we do

General Body Meetings

• GBMs are PUSH’s formal meetings, held every even week (except Week 10). These meetings are aimed to be informative and serve as ways to check yourself throughout the year, constantly guiding and “pushing” you toward success. It is also a great way for you to be a part of a community and to meet/interact with other like-minded PUSH-ers like yourself!
• Past GBMs have included

Our efforts are focused on encouraging

students to learn the Tagalog languages

by promoting the Tagalog classes here on

UCSD.

We are also the host of the Filipino

Language Tables, where beginners and

native speakers alike can come together to

practice Tagalog in everyday conversation.

• High School Conference (HSC)
• enCORE
• Shadow Day

Workshops are much more casual, informal, and allow both board and members to have a mutual dialogue.

Topics covered are not necessarily about specific career paths but are aimed to explore the necessary skills and information related to the pre-health journey, such as:

• Professionalism, networking, public speaking, certifications, time management, college life, etc.

• Past conferences that PUSH has attended
• UCI PUSO Pre-Health Conference, SDSU Catch the Wave to Success Conference, and UC Berkeley Minorities in Health Conference

Kamalayan Kollective is a political, people-centered, feminist organization that seeks to raise critical consciousness. We are a group of UCSD students and community members that aim to provide a progressive space for Pinays and allies. We understand the personal is inherently political, and the political as deeply personal. Thus, we seek to empower and create change through acts of resistance and acts of love.
