Webinars

• • Recognizing the Full Humanity of Our Asian and Pacific Islander Student Communities in the California Community Colleges, February 2023

Synopsis: Students who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander make up around 13% of California Community College students. Asian and Pacific Islanders are the fastest-growing ethnic group in California since 2011, growing an additional 25% statewide. After the pandemic, Asian and Pacific Islanders also experienced an explosive increase in racially motivated incidents. These increases should motivate faculty to look at what faculty can do on campus to support our Asian and Pacific Islander student communities. During this webinar, we will discuss some issues currently facing Asian and Pacific Islander students, and pedagogical and student services strategies and supports that faculty can take back to campus. 

• • Follow-Up to ASCCC Webinar ‘Recognizing the Full Humanity of Our Asian and Pacific Islander Student Communities in the California Community Colleges’, May 2023

Synopsis: Both ASCCC and CCCCO held, for the first time in February 2023 and April 2023, statewide webinars on serving CCC students who identify as Asian and Pacific Islander, who make up around 13% of California Community College students. During this webinar held during national APA Heritage Month, we will have follow up responses from panelists as well as discussion with attendees about the pedagogical and student services strategies and supports that CCC campuses and the CCCCO are implementing that were discussed in the earlier 25 ASCCC and CCCCO webinars.

Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics (LEAP) Advance is a leadership development program for higher education professionals. It operates in partnership with Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education (APAHE) to develop and support leaders in higher education across the United States. 

LEAP Advance is an intensive four-day leadership development program designed to enhance the impact of Asian and Pacific Islander higher education professionals in leadership roles and to assume positions of greater visibility and influence on campus. For over 26 years, LEAP Advance has graduated API educators who have promoted into roles with significant impact.

The basis of the program is a nexus between experiential learning, mentoring/coaching, and developing leadership awareness based on the diverse Asian and Pacific Islander cultural context. Participants receive individual and small group mentoring, practice interviewing, and dialogue with noted API educators, including college presidents.
