• In Event: Excellence in Education Research: Early Career Scholars and Their Work Poster Session

Abstract

AANAPISIs, one of the most recent MSI designations established by Congress, were born out of the necessity to build the capacity of colleges and universities to serve and support the unique and complex educational needs of AA&NHPI students. This study delves into the transformative processes that AANAPISIs undertake to construct comprehensive campus-wide ecologies to equitably serve AA&NHPI students. Through a multiple-site case study design of AANAPISIs across the United States and Pacific Islands, this investigation aims to uncover how AANAPISIs engage in this work. Findings will contribute to the emergent literature base on AANAPISIs and AA&NHPI students. Implications will inform the work of policymakers and institutional leaders/practitioners, as they seek to develop and implement effective, equity-centered, and transformative strategies.
