Focusing on AANAPISIs, Transformative Practices for Minority Student Success highlights effective strategies for engaging diverse student populations in higher education.
This book, Transformative Practices for Minority Student Success, serves as a pioneering resource that focuses exclusively on Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Institutions (AANAPISIs) and their students. It addresses prevalent misconceptions about these populations while documenting essential student services, leadership programs, and innovative pedagogies. The text highlights the importance of collaboration between academic and student affairs to enhance student outcomes.
Between 2000 and 2015, the Asian American Pacific Islander population saw significant growth, increasing from nearly 12 million to over 20 million. This surge, representing a 72% growth rate, underscores the urgency of addressing the educational disparities faced by this diverse group. Transformative Practices for Minority Student Success emphasizes the necessity of disaggregating this population, which includes over 40 ethnic groups with varying immigrant histories, languages, and socioeconomic statuses.
The contributors provide effective practices that enable educators to recognize and validate the diverse backgrounds of their students. By fostering an inclusive teaching environment, they enhance the learning experience for all students. This volume is particularly timely, given the national focus on creating equitable educational settings. It serves as a vital resource for predominantly white institutions admitting more Asian American and Pacific Islander students, offering models and guidance for those seeking AANAPISI status and funding.
“For far too long the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) student population has been left out of conversations about student success, forgotten due to the model minority myth. Maramba and Fong have brought to the surface key issues for all in higher education to discuss and learn from. The group of authors they have assembled have both the scholarly background and practice-based knowledge to help the field move forward in its understanding of AAPI students and Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions.”

“A first of its kind, this book will become an essential read for colleges and universities that educate Asian American, Native American and Pacific Islander students. The chapter authors offer asset-based practices that can and should be used by practitioners striving to undo the historical remnants of whiteness that continue to hinder the success of those who are racially minoritized.”

“This book is critical for realizing that campus settings are mutable points of intervention—sites of possibilities for responding to the impediments encountered by low-income AAPI students. Through a deeper understanding of AANAPISIs, we learn more about the unique needs and challenges of low-income AAPI college students, as well as the institutions that serve them, and how this information is relevant to the growing body of knowledge regarding MSIs overall. And, with a comprehensive review of student services and programs, culturally responsive pedagogy, cultivation of student leadership and development, and cross campus collaboration within AANAPISIs, this book offers glimpse into their potential and why AANAPISIs are important to the future of higher education.”
