MSUM Celebrates Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM) is proud to celebrate and observe Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month in April, although it is nationally observed during May. Throughout the month, there are various events on and off campus to honor and recognize the contributions and cultures of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.
