Honoring Student Demands through Synergy, Partnership, and Culturally Relevant Counseling
About Campus, v30 n3 p35-39 2025
Cultural and resource centers (CRCs) on college campuses are pivotal safe havens for minoritized students. CRCs respond to immediate student needs (such as offering support following racial bias incidents or providing financial aid literacy coaching) and foster community by engaging students in cultural programming and by offering physical space for students to connect with peers, faculty, and staff with similar cultural identities. The collective offerings of the CRCs help students develop and/or strengthen their sense of belonging. Despite their critical role, these centers often operate with limited resources. They are expected to address multiple demands, including recruiting students to the university to enhance diversity, cultural outreach to departments and offices across campus, and retention support. At the University of Arizona, the authors serve as staff for Asian Pacific American Student Affairs (APASA)--the cultural center focused on Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi American (APIDA) students. In this article, they share their experience developing a unique partnership between Counseling & Psychological Services and APASA to support the mental health and well-being of APIDA students.
