Asian International Student Support Space: Ongoing Anti-Asian Hate and Violence within Our Communities

In the last year, over 3,800 reports were made to Stop AAPI Hate. The recent surge of anti-Asian violence and hate, including the recent murders in Atlanta, has generated a lot of fears, anger, and anxiety within the Asian/Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities in the U.S. and globally. As an Asian international student, some of you may be scared, confused, and angry at what is happening and may want to talk to other international students about your experiences and concerns, as well as brainstorm what we can do to protect and advocate for ourselves and others. The Asian American Studies Program and the Counseling Center want to provide such a support space to hear your stories, share some resources, and stand in solidarity with you to stop AAPI Hate.
