Resources for Staff and Faculty
APIMEDA Programs and Services is committed to helping UC San Diego staff and faculty remain connected to current and emerging research and scholarship related to ways to best serve our large and diverse APIMEDA student population. Below are some resources that provide an increased understanding of APIMEDA student communities and experiences.
In addition, APIMEDA Programs and Services will host a reading group for interested staff and faculty to come together, learn more, and discuss ways to develop better resources and support for our students each summer. The readings from those gatherings will be archived in the APIMEDA Lunch and Learn tab.Please remember that as UC San Diego staff and faculty, we have access to a wealth of academic knowledge through the UC San Diego Library. The UC San Diego Library has subscriptions to several journals and other resources that may allow you access to full text from your desk. We encourage you to explore these options and find additional resources through the UC San Diego Libraries.
