What is D1?

If you are reading this, you either have no idea what District 1 (or D1) is, or you think you know what it is but it isn’t clear. Most may think that D1 is an executive board composed of representatives from its member schools, which plans intercollegiate events throughout the academic year. This to some extent would be true, except it does not truly represent the entity that is D1. So perhaps a more appropriate question to ask (as opposed to what) would instead be: who is District 1?

The answer is simple: D1 is us. We are D1. Comprised of student members of Filipino student organizations of various colleges and universities that span New England (Berklee College of Music, Boston College, Boston University, Brown University, Clarke University, Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Northeastern University, Tufts University, and Wellesley College), D1 promotes awareness and discussion of Filipino culture and strengthens unity among students and the community.

The D1 Executive Board, elected annually, is comprised of representatives from the various colleges and universities, and serves as a resource and a networking facilitator for the student body of D1. The D1 Executive Board works closely with the member schools to plan several events throughout the academic year, such as the district’s annual culture show Kamayan, D1 Sosyal, and trips to national dialogues and conferences.

D1 Executive Board's Mission Statement:
"District One" E-Board serves as a resource for its member schools and the community by promoting awareness and discussion of Filipino culture in order to strengthen unity in the New England region.
