<br> The Filipino Channel University (TFCU)<br> UCLA ℅ 2004<br> Emcee
<br><br>
TFCU (The Filipino Channel University) is a student outreach program from The Filipino Channel (TFC) that seeks to reach out to college students by providing them access to role models within the Filipino American community who could provide inspiration, guidance and mentorship. The “U” stands for “University” because it is when second generation Filipino Americans go to university that they actively want to know more about their being Filipino. Additionally, and perhaps more importantly, “U” also stands for Unity, which TFCU hopes to achieve. TFCU seeks to supplement the campus experience for the community by connecting the young people to experts in various fields who could inspire and empower by sharing life lessons. FASTER is proud to work with TFCU as a media partner on mentorship. <br><br></p>
