For students like Asian Pacific American Coalition members Anna Province and Kobe Aguzar, APAC became more than just a student organization—it became a home away from home. During #AAPIHeritageMonth, the group celebrated culture, connection, and community through its spring formal at the Aaron Leech Stadium Club, an event created by students for students to feel seen and welcomed. Province, a sophomore early childhood education major, shared how APAC helped her find belonging after transferring to Illinois State, while Aguzar, a sophomore psychology major, said the organization completely changed his college experience by helping him build lifelong friendships. Open to students of all backgrounds, APAC continues to create a space where culture, identity, and community come together at Illinois State University.

From Puerto Rico to Illinois State University, #RedbirdScholar Dr. Maura Toro-Morn has spent decades researching the experiences of Puerto Ricans in the Midwest. Her new book, Puerto Ricans in Illinois, brings visibility to a long-overlooked community and explores migration, identity, and belonging. Through research and lived experience, she highlights the impact of education, culture, and transnational ties that connect people across places. For Toro-Morn, the work is both scholarly and personal—telling the story of a community, and her own life lived between two homes. Read more 🔗 in bio.
