In an effort to foster unity, cooperation, harmony and goodwill among employees of Filipino-American descent at Stanford campus, Medical Center and Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), a handful of staff members formed the Filipino-American Community at Stanford (FACS) in 1988. Like many other ethnic staff groups at Stanford, FACS attempts to provide its constituency avenues to enhance their careers in this institution. Over the past years, FACS has been involved in civic, cultural, educational and social endeavors.
