Exhibition Statement
This exhibit showcases the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) students on campus and the vibrant communities they come from. In 2011, South Seattle College received a Asian American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution (AANAPISI) grant as a Minority Serving Institution (MSI) through the Department of Education, which will end in September 2016.
South’s AANAPISI grants (first one was awarded in 2008) have focused on providing targeted services to improve AAPI student success and increase their visibility on campus. This exhibit is dedicated to honoring the multiple ways these AAPI students and their communities express pride in their histories and identities through artifacts or cultural objects, data and statistics, newspapers, magazines, oral histories and transcripts, photographs, alongside dance and performance.
