The month of May is dedicated to celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage, but year-round we should uplift and amplify the AAPI community. Here at the Department of Public Policy (DPP) we dedicate ourselves to learning about and supporting the AAPI community. Below are just some of the resources shared by our community. Have more resources to share? Email us at dpp@uconn.edu to expand this working document.
