̫ӳ’s Student Counseling Services (SCS) is reaching out to the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) campus community in response to the recent racially targeted killings in Georgia.
“We value and endorse the worth and dignity of all human beings and strive to contribute to the creation of a supportive campus environment for all of our students, faculty and staff. During a time of increased risk, we feel it is our duty to help and support AAPI members of our campus community and, to that end, we have created a series of supportive programs,” stated a SCS campus message.
