What is Core?

Put simply, CORE is the governing body of the Pilipinx American Student Association. Each year the members of PASA elect a group of leaders that they believe will continue to contribute and bring the organization towards greater things. CORE is made up of individuals among PASA coming from different ethnicities and backgrounds who unite together to lead.
