Festivals, Fairs and Celebrations Download To My Calendar

Copley Library at the University of San Diego invites you to celebrate Filipino American History Month at the Mother Hill Reading Room. It will be an evening of reflection, community, and celebration featuring Judge Rohanee Zapanta, a proud double USD alumna and trailblazing Filipina American jurist as keynote speaker. Appointed in 2018 by Governor Jerry Brown, Judge Zapanta is the second Filipina American to serve as a Superior Court Judge in San Diego County. Recognized as one of the Most Influential Filipina Women in the World in 2023 by the Filipina Women’s Network, she brings a powerful voice on identity, justice, ethics, and wellness—locally and globally. In 2024, she presented excerpts from her chapter Identity, Law & Justice at the New South Wales Parliament in Sydney, Australia, and later that year spoke on Judicial Ethics and Secondary TrAM at the inaugural Balkan Countries Judicial Summit for Women Judges in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Starting in Fall 2025, she will teach Professional Identity Formation at the USD School of Law. The event is free and open to the public. Filipino dinner will be served after the program.
