“As a man of colour whose success was fostered in my community, I have a duty to ensure our narratives are never forgotten.”
See how Alferos is using Apple technology to drive impactful policy change and help combat discrimination and digital insecurity in higher education.
Isaac uses iPhone 13 with FaceTime to stay connected with leaders, students and family while travelling as CSU’s student body president.
Isaac Alferos
Studied Business Administration / Finance,
California State University, Fullerton, class of 2022
President, California State University Student Association, 2021–2022
“I’m doing so many things. My devices can’t fail. They can’t be a limiting factor. I love the flexibility of Apple devices, and how dependable they are, wherever I am.”
As a recent graduate of California State University, Fullerton, business major Isaac Alferos has tirelessly engaged as a digital equity advocate and activist in higher education — and he’s made real change across California and beyond.
As one of the few African and Asian Americans in his school, Isaac experienced systemic racism early on. “My teachers disciplined me harder — I was always perceived as being disruptive. I learned to reject what I was, in favour of performing what they wanted me to be.”
At CSU Fullerton, Isaac joined the Male Success Initiative, where men of colour are empowered to achieve their potential. Feeling “at home” for the first time, it inspired him to advocate for an accessible, inclusive future in education through policy change.
For the past year, Isaac has served as president of the Cal State Student Association and was recognised by the California State Legislature as the official representative of 4,80,000 students across all 23 CSU campuses. He’s chosen Apple technology to power every step of his work, from the lecture hall to city hall.
Notes on iPad with Apple Pencil supports every aspect of his civic engagements with board members and campus leaders, as well as his research work. “iPad is my Swiss Army knife — it works for all situations, and seamlessly with my Mac and iPhone to support my full calendar of activities.”
For academics, Isaac uses Mac with RStudio to crunch data sets and conduct research for his successful proposals — like writing statewide legislation that makes it easier for low-income students to apply to college with a single, universal application.
iPad also enables his creativity and helps “humanise what leadership looks like, by making it personal”. Through the Black + Brown Healing Project, an organisation he founded to support Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) writers and creatives, he wrote a book of poetry capturing his experiences as a black, queer man — all on iPad.
The foundation of leadership and productivity that Isaac has built as an undergrad will continue to serve as a springboard for his commitment to social justice. And he’s just getting started.

Learn how Lim-Chan is using iPad and Apple Pencil to create web comics that tell stories from marginalised communities.
Elle uses iPad Pro and Apple Pencil with Procreate to develop expressive, artistic comics.
Elle or “L” Lim‑Chan
Studying MFA in Comics
California College of the Arts, class of 2023
“Animation is my first love, and telling meaningful stories is my passion. Bringing those together on iPad is a magical process.”
With their insightful, thought-provoking works, California College of the Arts MFA student Elle Lim-Chan is using iPad to transform traditional comics into inclusive experiences that comment on culture and identity.
“Storytelling often creates experiences for those around us based on our own experiences and values. For queer and trans people, actively shaping a space for ourselves is particularly relevant, but it has been harder to do.”
A non-binary, first-generation American, Lim-Chan’s mission was first inspired by the experiences of their Chinese South African parents, who immigrated to the United States during Apartheid. Earning a degree in anthropology from Stanford University and participating in San Francisco’s arts scene gave Lim-Chan the foundation to begin telling their own meaningful stories about society.
“The underground comic scene has always been a place for hearing trans voices, but it has been limited by distribution. iPad Pro and Apple Pencil enable me to create and publish zines with QR codes that can be shared online.”
Apple technology powers Lim-Chan’s ability to bring together creative art and narrative to develop web comics. “Apple seamlessly supports and encourages self-expression, which is really important to me.”
“I love having different screen sizes for different levels of engagement,” they say, using MacBook with Photoshop for design work, and iPad with Procreate for illustrations and sketching. “And with Apple Pencil’s responsiveness and organic feel, I’m not missing anything from a traditional pen or pencil.”
After graduation, Lim-Chan intends to use their portfolio to progress their career as a freelance artist working across multiple mediums — a testament to how Apple products can open new opportunities of creative freedom.
“There’s nothing more impactful than being your authentic self”, they say. “This is even more important for queer and trans people, and involves even more creativity, bravery and confidence to inspire others.”

Turn ideas into apps with Swift.
Swift is a coding language that’s easy to learn and used by developers everywhere. And no matter your level, Apple has resources to help you advance your coding skills.
“Swift is such a natural language — I can create a great app in an afternoon!”
Vega is a mechatronics major who is building engineering solutions on Mac to support space exploration. Find out how he’s using Xcode and Swift with ARKit to create apps that are out of this world.
José Manuel develops his own iOS app with Xcode and Swift on his MacBook Pro.
José Manuel Vega Hernández
Studying Mechatronics Engineering, Universidad Panamericana, class of 2023
“I believe technology is here to help us solve any problem. I want to develop apps that make a positive change here on earth and beyond.”
Ever since he saw the reverse landing of a SpaceX shuttle as a teenager, Vega has been fascinated by rockets and space. This propelled him to join Misión Colibrí,
a space programme at the Universidad Panamericana, which aims to launch
a nano‑satellite into orbit to collect data and take on the space debris problem.
Getting a satellite off the ground requires funding, so Vega is developing a native iOS app, also called Misión Colibrí, to attract sponsors and drive public interest. “We want to encourage Mexicans to create more space technology, and inspire kids to study these topics and pursue these careers”, he says.
Using Xcode and Swift with ARKit on Mac, Vega is building an iOS experience that allows users to get a detailed and holistic view of the nano-satellite on iPhone and iPad. Plus, with augmented reality and real-time telemetry, the satellite can be “blown apart” to reveal its inner workings along with the data it has collected.
“Swift and Xcode help you create something incredible in minutes. They are very powerful and intuitive”, Vega says. He began coding in secondary school but didn’t discover the Develop in Swift curriculum and get certified until he landed in an iOS Development Lab in college.
Vega’s passion for Mexican aerospace exploration doesn’t stop there. He’s committed to designing apps that help communities and inspiring youth to do the same.
“I want to leave a mark, help people and make the world — and beyond — a better place.”
