APIA members set up a popular table at the annual WorldFest event organized by the Cadena Cultural Center. Students and staff could pinpoint the countries of origin of their families and ancestors on a world map. The diversity on campus was apparent when tracking the locations on the map. Students and staff marked origins from the following locations: Africa, California (Native American), Cambodia, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, El Salvador, England, France, Germany, Greece, Honduras, Iraq, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jakarta, Japan, Mexico, North Korea, Norway, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Samoa, Scotland, Serbia, South Korea, Spain, Surabaya, Sweden, Syria, Tonga, and Vietnam. In addition, API students could write on post-its to comment on their experiences at Fullerton College. Thydan Huynh, Marwin Luminarias, Naomi Abesamis, Kevin Tran, and Jane Ishibashi helped out with the display table.
