30th Anniversary Celebration of the AHANA Acronym 

The term AHANA was coined in 1979 by two students, Alfred Feliciano and Valerie Lewis. These students, acting as ambassadors for fellow students, objected to the name "Office of Minority Programs" then used by the University, citing the definition of the word minority as "less than." They proposed instead to use the term "AHANA" which they felt celebrated the cultural differences present in our society. AHANA is an acronym used to describe individuals of African-American, Hispanic, Asian and Native American descent.
