Study Shows How Higher Education Supports Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Students Through Culturally Relevant Courses, Programs, and Research

A new study led by Mike Hoa Nguyen, assistant professor of education at NYU Steinhardt, and published in The Review of Higher Education shows how Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) programs expand students’ capacities through culturally relevant coursework, mentorship, research, and civic engagement. The study also dispels the myth that Asian Americans are part of a “monolithic group with unparalleled success in academics.”
