AANHPI LEARNING COMMUNITY
The Fall 2024 Semester we are launching our first Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Learning Community. To participate, students must take both College-Level English and Filipino American Studies together as a cohort.
· ENGL 101, taught by Professor Denise Maduli-Williams, will meet the writing course general education (GE) requirement for our degree and university transfer.
· FILI 100, taught by Professor Judy Patacsil, is the only ethnic studies course at Miramar College, with an AAPI (Asian American Pacific Islander) focus, that will meet the ethnic studies general education (GE) requirement for our degree and university transfer.
There are many benefits to being part of a learning community:
· Multiple studies have shown that learning communities help student success.
· Students will have access to embedded counseling and tutoring support.
· Students will have the opportunity to engage in community-building activities and leadership development.
· Students will have access to FREE books for the both classes.
· Students will have the opportunity to participate in FREE events & field trip.
