Utah Pasifika Intercollegiate Association (UPIA)
Annual Showcase of Many Islands in a Common Sea 2026
The Annual Intercollegiate Showcase of Many Islands in a Common Sea offers a cultural platform for Pacific Islander (PI) organizations and membership to showcase their leadership in this student-led event. In coordinating this major event, student leaders in higher education statewide serve as role models to and in collaborative partnership with one another to create a space and forum where all can and will gain a sense of belonging. We embrace the core values of “access, learning and community” as a framework for our purpose in conducting this Intercollegiate Showcase. This is essential in encouraging the importance of providing and making accessible a space where students are able to share their cultural practices and traditions through dance, music, and traditional wear. In so doing, we strive to promote the importance of making available opportunities to engage and build lasting relationships with various peer institutions across Utah and local Pacific Islander communities, as well as providing learning opportunities for all.
