#SpeakUp for Higher Ed: Share Your Story

Higher education changes lives—and it's time to share how. We are launching a powerful narrative campaign to preserve higher education for our communities and ensure bolder futures for our next generations. We're collecting stories to show why access to higher education matters and education is so important for our communities. Higher education has provided career opportunities, forged meaningful networks, and shaped our futures for the better. We also want to highlight how proposed legislative and executive actions — like cuts to Pell Grants, revocation of immigrant student visas, and reduced AANAPISI (Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions) funding — would negatively impact our communities. Your voice should be heard and your experience matters. Your story can make a difference. Please share your story below. All stories will be kept anonymous by default, unless you choose to share your name and contact information. If you would like your stories shared during AANAPISI Week, please share your story by September 5.
