Alan’s impact at SJSU is furthered by his current role on the University’s Special Events Team as an assistant event planner, and in his service as the Founder and President of SJSU’s Filipino Alumni Network (FAN). He hopes that FAN will offer a valuable space to highlight Filipinx achievement, celebrate cultural identity, and cultivate a sense of collective power.
