ABOUT

DISTRICT VII

District VII is one of the largest districts in the FIND, Inc.  The great distance between the schools has presented many challenges, yet DVII has managed to host four national Dialogues; one at the University of Virginia in 1995, the second at Old Dominion University in 1999, the third at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and Sate University in 2007, and most recently at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009.  In the spring of 2005, DVII hosted the national conference which was held at the College of William and Mary.  District VII has made great strides in the Standardizing Filipino-American Studies (SFAS) program and advocacy efforts include its partnership in the formation of the Virginia Chapter of Student Action for Veterans Equality (SAVE-VA).

DVII SCHOOLS


The emergence and existence of District VII was influenced and is continually supported by the large concentrated Filipino population of the Hampton Roads area with its active Filipino community.  DVII leaders also utilize the Filipino and Asian / Pacific Islander communities of the Richmond Metropolitan region and the Northern Virginia region.
