What if my academic program already includes Pacific Islanders?

Q. What if my academic program already includes Pacific Islanders?

A. Please let us know if we can help you, and thank you for following the data and including this deserving underrepresented group!
---------------

The Pacific Islander Access project came into existence for this reason: despite the fact that Pacific Islanders are underrepresented in higher education, they're excluded from many academic programs for underrepresented minorities. We wanted to reach out to the programs that exclude Pacific Islanders, and help them make an informed decision about choosing inclusion instead.

The fact is that a growing number of programs already include Pacific Islanders, and we hope that more will join them in the near future. Thank you for being an example to your peer organizations by following the data!

If there's anything we can do to help your program reach out to more Pacific Islander applicants or organizations, please let us know. You can reach our CEO directly by emailing us at piaproject@hotmail.com
