    The Hidden Academic Opportunity Gaps Among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders: What Disaggregated Data Reveals in Washington State
    Dolly Nguyen, Bach Mai; Hoa Nguyen, Mike; Teranishi, Robert T.; Hune, Shirley (National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE), 2015-03-01)
    Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are a remarkably diverse community, comprising 48 different ethnic subgroups that speak over 300 different languages and represent a range of different immigration histories an extension to the 2008 reports, and in alignment with the continued efforts of AAPI communities advocating for data disaggregation across Washington State, this report offers a deeper and more nuanced perspective on the educational realities of AAPI students and reinforces the need for disaggregated data to unmask the hidden opportunity gaps of particular AAPI students. Given the continued efforts to make progress at all levels — legislative, institutional and community — Washington State is at a critical moment to utilize the findings from this report to advance the data disaggregation movement.

    The Impact of Scholarships for Asian American and Pacific Islander Community College Students: Findings from an Experimental Design Study
    Teranishi, Robert T.; Martin, Margary; Bordoloi Pazich, Loni; Alcantar, Cynthia M.; Dolly Nguyen, Bach Mai; Curammeng, Edward R. (National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE), 2015-10-01)
    This report provides results from the study of scholarship funding provided to AAPI students attending PEER community college campus partners. While APIASF distributed scholarships, CARE conducted the external evaluation to measure the impact of the funding on intermediate and long-term academic outcomes. As the first study to examine AAPI scholarship recipients at community colleges, we focus this report on describing the cohort of applicants for the scholarship program and provide some early findings from the first year of the longitudinal analysis of recipients and non-recipients. This research provides baseline findings upon which future studies can track the long-term impact of scholarship funding for AAPI students attending community colleges.

    The Racialized Experiences of Asian American A publication from iCount: A Data Quality Movement for Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and Pacific Islander Students: An Examination of Campus Racial Climate at the University of California, Los Angeles
    Dolly Nguyen, Bach Mai; Hoa Nguyen, Mike; Chan, Jason; Teranishi, Robert T. (National Commission on Asian American and Pacific Islander Research in Education (CARE), 2016-04-01)
    In alignment with the efforts of iCount to bring awareness to the disparities that are concealed by vast generalizations about AAPI students, this study utilizes data from the University of California Undergraduate Experience Survey (UCUES) and qualitative interviews (see Technical Appendix for further detail) to examine the experiences of AAPI students on the UCLA campus. As one of a few studies focusing specifically on campus racial climate and AAPI students, this report brings to light three key themes that can advance the need to more carefully examine AAPI student experiences, in order to improve their educational experiences and outcomes.
