Mission

The mission of the Pacific Islander Higher Education Conference is to stimulate, inspire, challenge, and nurture young creative minds to pursue higher education. We seek to promote higher education in a holistic approach that highlights cultural relevance, emphasizes academic and transfer success, and conveys the importance of leadership within education and partnerships across communities. Our aim is to encourage students to think competitively and proactively about their educational and professional lives in an effort to understand its relation to improve current and future conditions of the Pacific Islander community. Together, we have the ability to influence change for a better tomorrow and it begins with our actions today. We rise!
