Asian American & Pacific Islander SIG
The Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) Special Interest Group (SIG) empowers AAPI professionals and counselors who advocate on behalf of AAPI students to be active change makers at the national, regional and local levels. We promote student-centered counseling practices that recognize and celebrate the plurality of AAPI identities. We are champions of ethical standards that support AAPI students through the transition to and completion of their postsecondary education, to achieve greater access and equity in higher education for all AAPI identities.
