Filipino American Cultural Entity (FACE) is the Filipino-American organization of William Paterson University in Wayne, New Jersey. FACE was founded in 2003 by Patrick L. De Mesa (Founder/President). Everyone is welcome to join.
"Throughout the long and rich history of the United States, Filipinos have contributed greatly to the causes of freedom, liberty, justice, and overall, the American ideal that we know today. However, Filipino-Americans (FIL-AM for short) are a bicultural group, on one hand we have the traditions, heritage, and culture of the Philippines, and on the other hand we live and take part in American life and culture as well. The aim of the organization is to bring about a cultural awareness within the William Paterson University community regarding Filipino people and issues surrounding our community, and to promote a sense of friendship and belonging within the University community by reaching out to students, both new and old."
-- Patrick L. De Mesa (FACE Founder/President)
