With the increasing violence and hate crimes directed towards Asian Pacific Americans, the Multicultural & Community Engagement Center has put together a list of resources, articles, and social media information we would like to share the following resources with all students, staff, and community members.
Being aware of what is happening is only the first step to being able to do something about this. The “Organizations and Groups” section below will direct those who may need assistance as well as provide resources to deal with what is happening.
Please note that this is a partial list of resources and information and we will be updating this page on a regular basis. If you have resources for inclusion, please email them to mcec@glendale.edu
