Asian Pacific Islander Student Success Center

Welcome to the newly created Asian Pacific Islander Student Success Center!

It is an incredible opportunity to bring together culture, heritage, language, education, and success all in one space. Cal State East Bay committed to Equity and Diversity through its commitment to opening four brand-new Student Success and Resource Centers for students to find support, community, and thrive in their academic success: the Black Student Success Center, the Latinx Student Success Center, the Asian Pacific Islander Student Success Center, and the Undocumented Student Resource Center.
