The AANHPI learning community is a transformative initiative designed to empower Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students, unlock their potential, and advocate for the success of underserved students.
What is AANHPI?
Discover how culture, identity, and shared experiences shape our communities and sense of belonging. The AANHPI Learning Community invites all students to explore the histories, contributions, and challenges of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities—while building connections across cultures.
Why Join?
Learn in a supportive space designed to spark conversation, build understanding, and promote equity for first-generation and historically underserved students.
Eligibility
