The Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) population is the most rapidly growing ethnic group in the United States. For generations, AAPIs have helped build a strong and vibrant University of Minnesota Twin Cities, Midwest, and nation at large!
This AAPI Heritage Month — and all months — we celebrate the unnumbered contributions of these communities. Their hopes, accomplishments, and legacies are a significant and celebrated part of the American experience.
Happy AAPI Heritage Month from all of us here, at the School of Social Work.
