SEARAC presents the Rising Up fact sheet series, a five-part set of briefs that go into a deeper dive of selected findings from our Rising Up: The Southeast Asian American Educational Journey report.
The fact sheet series was accompanied by a parallel five-part webinar series that took place from April through June. Each fact sheet and companion webinar focused on pressing issues impacting Southeast Asian American (SEAA) students today, highlighting key data, community context, and actionable solutions for policymakers, advocates, and educators.
Protect AANAPISIs: This fact sheet focuses on the Asian American, Native American, Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs) program, which has been essential to improving college access and success for SEAA students.
Hear Student Voice: This fact sheet centers the lived experiences of SEAA students, highlighting how they navigate educational systems that often render them invisible.
Supporting Southeast Asian American Boys and Men in Education: This fact sheet explores gender disparities in SEAA students’ educational attainment and how race- and gender-based stereotypes have impacted SEAA boys’ and men’s educational access and success.
Southeast Asian Americans and Community College Success: This fact sheet looks at the barriers SEAA students face in attaining a degree from community college or transferring to a 4-year institution. It also highlights community college programs that are making an impact in supporting SEAA students.
Southeast Asian Americans and Career and Technical Education (CTE): This fact sheet discusses barriers to SEAA students’ participation in Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs and how community partnerships and improved data can address these challenges.
