Here we’ve provided resources for students seeking support or looking to get involved with the Asian American Resource Center.
MCAPS APIDA Drop-Ins
The AARC hosts drop-in hours with professional staff such as Shalom Alaichamy, Staff Psychologist from Monsour Counseling and Psychological Services. Reach out to aarc@pomona.edu for more information.
AARC Office Hours and Community Spaces
The AARC hosts a variety of community spaces—some are formal spaces for reflection while others are more lighthearted spaces for students to catch up with each other.
To attend MCAPS Drop-Ins or AARC Office Hours, look out for flyers online or on-campus with information on available dates and times.
