Summary

"What do you think when you hear "Asian American students"? Smart, quiet, and industrious, immigrants, language barriers, and science majors? Or have you not thought much about Asian Americans as a distinct student population? In this issue of New Directions for Student Services, we address critical yet basic questions related to Asian American students. For instance, how do race and culture influence Asian American student development? What role does demographic heterogeneity play in the delivery of services to Asian American students? What issues are unique to promoting leadership development among Asian Americans? What resources are available for student affairs professionals?" "This issue represents a coordinated effort to link the historical, theoretical, and applied literature on Asian American college students. Rather than focusing on specific functional areas, the content emphasizes information about Asian American college students that should be useful to all practitioners and researchers."--Jacket
