Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Middle Leadership Academy (AMLA) Session Dates

2025 AANHPI Middle Leadership Academy (AMLA) Session Dates

The Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander Middle Leadership Academy (AMLA) is a joint venture between the CSU Asian American, Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Student Achievement Program (CSU ASAP) and the Network.

Based off of the Network’s yearlong Middle Leadership Academy and tailored to support CSU ASAP grantees, the AMLA brings together campus-based teams of CSU faculty, student affairs staff, researchers, and students in a collaborative and supportive environment to work on student support services for AANHPI student as highlighted in Section 89297.1 of the Education Code.

The AMLA is grounded in an applied learning model that motivates participants to “lead from the middle” as they explore and apply strategies to develop and implement on their campuses, with a focus on closing opportunity and outcomes gaps for AANHPI students.

The AMLA is designed to promote equitable student success by strengthening scholarly, data informed inquiry; increasing the use of high impact practices; and reframing problems of student success such that the solutions lie with the institution rather than the student as a means to maintain and increase AANHPI student success. It provides a space for collaborative learning in which students, staff, faculty, and administrators work together to: (1) identify a common problem faced by AANHPI students that they want to address; (2) develop a shared vision, identify a new or existing solution/s and create an action plan; (3) take action to implement the plan and build evidence; (4) participate in communication and dissemination efforts around the evidence; and (5) enhance personal/professional development.

All campuses will soon be invited to apply for CSU ASAP funding, with the RFP announcement coming shortly. Recipients of CSU ASAP funds are expected to attend one of two AMLA sessions: June 3–6, 2025, or June 17–20, 2025.
