Faculty and Staff
Isao Fujimoto
Senior Lecturer Emeritus, UC Davis Graduate Program in Community Development

A faculty at UCD for 35 years, Professor Fujimoto has created many Asian American programs on campus. For instance, he actively worked with the founding Students of the Asian American Studies Program, which was started by an on-campus organization, AAC _ Asian American Concern. He also helped create the Applied Behavioral Sciences Department. In addition, he organized the Graduate program in Community Development, in which his "students wrote up energy conservation ordinances" that helped Davis' reputation and started the Winds of Change newspaper. As a faculty member in ASA, Fujimoto feels that ASA has encouraged the formation of different coalitions and Asian American events. At press time, he is the project facilitator for the Central Valley Partnership for Citizenship, which is an organization that helps immigrants and poor communities in the Central Valley. CVP consists of 21 different organizations that help people build a civil society. He is currently working on a project called "Around the World in the Central Valley," which reflects the diversity in the people and culture. Being an emeriti faculty, Fujimoto teaches two Community and Regional Development courses off campus each year.
