About Us
The Pilipino Cultural Exchange (PCE) is a student cultural organization at Cal Poly that prides itself on providing a home to anyone who seeks it. For over four decades now, our club has brought together a diverse, full spectrum of personalities, that celebrates Filipino culture while promoting cultural exchange!
We strive to provide unique personal, social, cultural, and academic resources that benefit every student that crosses our way. Our members are assisted in academia through our mentor-mentee program, as well as participate in our kuya/ate/ading program (our version of a big/little program) where many life-long friendships, memories, and traditions are forged and remembered.
With three non-audition performing groups, our members are given numerous platforms that foster personal growth and self-expression. Our Modern dance group is known for its hip hop, contemporary, and pop-influenced style and dance. Our choir, Ating Himig offers individuals the opportunity to show off their singing abilities. Our cultural dance troupe, Kasayahan, allows members to take part in learning the cultural dances of the Philippines.
We also host numerous social events, sporting and recreational events, and hold regular cultural and political dialogues and spaces for our members. Along with various community outreach efforts, and our annual Pilipino Cultural Night, our organization strives to share culture, and a positive influence with our members, fellow student body and wider community.
