APASA

A Statement to Our Community

In the past 12 months, we have seen an escalation of Anti-Asian hate crimes and incidents against our community. I want to alert our campus community and allies to be mindful of the toll this has taken on our students and their families. APASA condemns these racist behaviors and stands against bigotry, hatred, and xenophobia. We ask our UA campus community to be mindful and be alert of racists behaviors.

This week we will be holding a community forum to provide students and community members with a space to process recent events affecting our community.

For support, campus and nation-wide community resources can be found at this link: https://diversity.arizona.edu/apida-harassment

If you would like to speak with APASA staff regarding these issues, please contact me, Kenny Importante, at kimportante at arizona.edu<mailto:kimportante at arizona.edu>.

Experiencing Financial Hardships due to COIV-19?
Student Emergency Fund

The Richard H. Tyler Student Emergency Fund is intended to cover temporary costs that may hinder a student from succeeding academically or from meeting their basic needs. Traditionally, students may only apply for assistance once per academic year, but due to the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our students' success, the federal government has provided additional funds for those demonstrating exceptional need.

Eligibility:
- UArizona Student
-Enrolled for Spring 2021

To Apply: https://uarizona.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_9Ttj14jPMoBHBgq

Important: The review process, verification of eligibility, and processing of payment take time and fund availability is dependent on the generosity of donors and the balance of the pool of funds from the CARES Act.

APAMSA & Be the Match Team up to Save Lives!

Be the match is the world's largest and most diverse blood stem cell donor registry. We connect patients with blood cancers and diseases with genetically matched donors who are willing to give life-saving blood stem cells. But not all patients have an equal chance of finding a match. Students have the power to disrupt this disparity and literally save lives. Donation is safe, free, and confidential.

Help our APAMSA Chapter win funds by joining the initiative to increase the representation of minority groups, especially API, in the national bone marrow registry.
