This study group focuses on how to be a mindful counselor/advisor for first-generation AAPI students as they have consistently been viewed with the model minority stereotype, grouping all 57 distinct ethnic subgroups into one label as Asian. In return, this phenomenon applied a false sense of identity that all Asians are portrayed to be smart, obedient, privileged, and successful, undermining and negating certain AAPI student population’s struggles (i.e., Southeast Asian Americans, undocumented students) such as internalizing identity crisis, finding a sense of belonging, navigating higher ed as first-gen, and searching for financial resources. This study group will discuss Yosso's Community Cultural Wealth Model as the foundation to discuss intersectionality and read narrative interviews of students conducted from qualitative research. The goal is to provide a space to discuss and utilize this group as a positive method of learning on how advisors/counselors can impact and support AAPI students by providing transparent resources, information, and conversation.
