Southeast Asians Furthering Education (SAFE) is one of the seven community programs under the Student Recruitment & Retention Center at UC Davis. We are a university department run entirely by students for students. We aim to provide our services and resources to anyone who identifies as Southeast Asian, especially those who come from families and backgrounds that were affected by the Vietnam War. Even though our programs are specifically designed for the Southeast Asian community, we do not exclude anyone. Our meetings and events are open to the public (unless stated otherwise). We invite you all to come out with a positive attitude, open mind, and willingness to learn. SAFE focuses on two components: recruitment and retention.
RECRUITMENT/OUTREACH
We visit middle and high schools in the Sacramento area to encourage students to pursue higher education through non-traditional approaches that do not involve after school tutoring, but various workshops that deal with identity, history, and culture.
HOLISTIC RETENTION
Once students get into an institution of higher education, we want them to stay and successfully receive their degree. We offer various workshops and resources to help retain our students such as demystifying AP/SD, providing studying spaces, targeting mental and physical health. For students who would like to get involved and want to gain many leadership skills, we highly encourage them to join our Volunteers and Internship Program so that they may continue to stay engaged and challenged throughout their time in college. We are always looking for volunteers and interns to help carry out our purpose. If you are interested or have any questions, feel free to contact us!
