Advocacy. Advising. Awareness.

We're here to advocate for a safe, inclusive environment and to advise students as they navigate life at VT. Through programming and events, we raise cultural awareness and invite the community to learn about and develop an appreciation for cultural differences.

Resisting Xenophobia and Showing Support for Asian Pacific Islander Desi Americans (APIDA)

Since the start of COVID-19, there have been over 3900 documented anti-Asian hate crimes—an increase of 1900%.  As educators, it is our responsibility to resist false narratives that fuel xenophobic crimes and to decolonize thinking that props up model minority and orientalist stereotypes. As educators, it is our responsibility--collectively and individually--to reflect, read, learn, and act toward justice, and to understand the intersections of identities that shape our lived experiences.
