Asian/Asian American/Pacific Islander

With direction and advice from the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, the Center for Career Development created the Asian/Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) Affinity Community. This community’s goal is to provide resources focused on supporting students who self-identify as Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander.   AAPI students and alumni encounter unique challenges throughout the career development and job search processes and in the workplace. As a follower of the Asian/Asian American/Pacific Islander Affinity Community community, you will get timely alerts on relevant resources, news and advice, and events. The Career Center is committed to advocating and supporting AAPI students and alumni as they navigate the intersection of career and identity.  Use this page to:
