Asian American Resource Center - Resources For Students

Here we’ve provided resources for students seeking support or looking to get involved with the Asian American Resource Center.

MCAPS APIDA Drop-Ins

Every other week, the AARC hosts drop-in hours with professional staff such as Dr. Miao Li, Senior Staff Psychologist from Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services.

AARC Office Hours and Community Spaces

The AARC was hosts a variety of community spaces—some are formal spaces for reflection, especially in light of the violence that continues to occur within the APIDA community⁠—others are more lighthearted spaces for students to catch up with each other.

To attend MCAPS Drop-Ins or AARC Office Hours, look out for flyers online or on-campus with information on available dates and times.
