In the “Do All Students Count?� Asian American Student Union hosted an informative seminar regarding the All Students Count Bill. During the seminar, students discussed the importance of data disaggregation and what we can do in our communities to make sure that each and everyone in the Asian American Pacific Islander community is being represented. After the event, members showed support in the All Student Count campaign by taking a photo with the #AllStudentsCount sign.
