This week Sacramento State University’s Project Hmong hosted a Hmong New Year celebration. The event celebrated Hmong history, culture, and tradition with 700 members of the campus and the greater Sacramento community.

Sacramento State serves one of the largest Hmong student populations in the nation. From Fall 2005 to Fall 2016, Hmong student enrollment grew from 153 students to 1,075 students, making Hmong students the second-largest Asian subgroup on campus.

The California State University podcast, Higher Ed Rewired, is back for season 4! Listen in as we discuss the student housing crisis in higher Ed. The current housing crisis for students cannot be ignored. A survey from 2019 showed that most students in California had experienced some type of housing insecurity, with the highest risk being students from marginalized communities. The traditional on-campus basic needs centers are not enough to help the students in this crisis, and universities are now trying to adapt their programs to be able to further help students and keep them in college.

In this episode, we speak with the executive director of the Center for Equitable Higher Education at California State University, Long Beach , about the current student housing crisis; a student who shares his real-life experiences with the struggle to find housing; and a former case manager who created the Crisis Assistance and Resource Education Support program at Sacramento State by using data and personal stories from students in need.

For many students, navigating the college experience is unfamiliar and may feel alienating. Yet, despite the student body being dramatically more diverse than it was, colleges don’t operate much differently than they did 400 years ago. With the return to campus this fall, now more than ever, universities across the country must adapt to meet the needs of those students ans assure them they do belong.

Listen to Season 2, Episode 5 to find out how campuses across the nation are transforming to make students with different backgrounds and experiences feel like they belong, why a sense of belonging is important to student success and what faculty are doing differently to understand who their students are and what they need to change to serve them.
