Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander SIG
The Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Special Interest Group (SIG) empowers AANHPI professionals and counselors who advocate on behalf of AANHPI 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 AANHPI identities. We are champions of ethical standards that support AANHPI students through the transition to and completion of their postsecondary education, to achieve greater access and equity in higher education for all AANHPI identities.
