At the heart of the A Thousand Migrant Dreams Project lies a commitment to fostering global understanding and unity. Situated in UC Irvine, California, our endeavor stands as a beacon for those eager to (re)build solidarity among transnational activists. By employing a relational organizing approach, our monthly gatherings serve as a nexus where shared experiences converge, fostering a community that thrives on empathy, collaboration, and shared purpose. Recognizing the ever-evolving dynamics of U.S.-Sinophone relations, we proudly introduce our annual conference—a pioneering platform designed to bring U.S.-Sinophone Studies scholars and activists into dialogue. Together, we envision a safe and brave space where borders, be they geographical or ideological, become bridges to mutual respect and progress. Through collective engagement at UC Irvine, we strive to transform dreams of thousands of migrants into tangible realities.

Alpha Phi Omega is a co-ed National Service Fraternity, originally founded by Frank Reed Horton at Lafayette College in 1925. Inspired by the Boy Scouts of America, Horton felt there should be a collegiate organization that would strengthen men in the ideals of personal growth, tolerance, clean living, active leadership and support of the community. Alpha Phi Omega was born in this spirit and built upon the principles of Leadership, Friendship, and Service. Today at UC Irvine, the Rho Rho chapter of Alpha Phi Omega carries on this tradition, building friends and leaders within the UCI student body and completing over 1500 hours of community service per term.
