After unprecedented year, ASU spring 2021 grads face the next journey

He’s now a high-performing ASU student completing his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology this spring with plans to complete a master’s degree in 2022.

Community members join story circles to address anti-Asian racism during COVID-19

April 26, 2021 Following a rise in xenophobia directed toward Asian Americans at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the past few months have seen a string of high-profile attacks that increased awareness of violence against members of the Asian American community. Since the shutdown began over a year ago, nearly 3,800 Asian Americans have reported being victims of racist physical or verbal attacks, according to Stop AAPI Hate, a group formed last year to draw awareness to this issue. To provide an opportunity for the community to come together and address the rise of anti-Asian hate crimes through conversation, the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication at Arizona State University held a Storyscope Project event, “Surviving Anti-Asian Racism During COVID-19.” The event was held via Zoom on April 17.
