Rackham Minority Serving Institutions Initiative Coffee Chat Series: Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions in Context and Practice
This talk shares the journey of establishing Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISI), the federal government’s most recent Minority-Serving Institution designated to serve Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students. Current descriptive and demographic data will be shared, charting the 14-year growth of AANAPISIs within our postsecondary education system. In doing so, a more accurate portrait of AAPI students will be presented to emphasize the complexity of their educational experiences.
