Dear Campus Community,
As we mark the beginning of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, designated in this year’s White House proclamation as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Seattle University affirms the rich tapestry of cultures, ethnicities, and experiences of this diverse and vibrant community – representing a broad diaspora of Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi Americans.
Learn more about the legal history of AAPI Heritage month here and find resources here
This compilation includes a range of informational and educational resources to deepen understanding and promote inclusivity. This comprises a “living” collection that will be updated accordingly. Please send ideas for additional resources for this page to inclusion@seattleu.edu.
In partnership with MarCom, there are Zoom backgrounds for your use during the month.
