Meet our Fall 2024 - Spring 2025 Staff!
The Asian and Pacific Islander Resource Center is comprised of student staff, also known as the Scholar Coordinators. The student staff manage the cultural space, organize events and programs that are inclusive of the API communities, and serve as the primary point of contact to all the resource center needs.
