Naomi Sigg will discuss the Model Minority Myth.

The rise in anti-Asian violence and hate has left many Asian, Pacific Islander, South Asian, and Asian American students feeling fearful, isolated, and further marginalized. Many institutions of higher education are committed to the success of all diverse student populations, but sometimes fall short of supporting the APIDA student communities which can lead to reports of low satisfaction rates as well as a dip in affinity when students become alumni. This presentation will address the current context of racism, hate, and bias faced by students, provide a historical background of racism toward these communities, as well as identify opportunities to stand in solidarity with the Asian, Pacific Islander, South Asian, and Asian American students in ways that are meaningful, intentional, and equitable.
