In Focus: Advancing Educational Opportunity for AA and NHPI Students

The “model minority myth” often portrays Asian Americans as high-achieving students, but this stereotype masks the real struggles faced by many AA and NHPI communities. Join us as we explore educational inequities; the transformative role of Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) in supporting underserved AA and NHPI students; and the Biden-Harris Administration's historic efforts to expand access to higher education.
