Asian Students Affinity Group
In this affinity space, we create room to support one another and share our college experiences, personal growth, encounters with xenophobia, racial justice and injustice, community needs, and other topics that impact our mental well-being. Our goal is to thrive as students and as a broader Asian community. We acknowledge the complexity of Asian identities and are committed to holding this space as a sacred and inclusive environment for all participants.
Facilitated by APARC and Student Counseling Services.
