The goal of ASPIRE is to improve and expand SF State’s capacity to serve high-need Asian American and Native American Pacific Islanders (AANAPI) and low-income degree-seeking undergraduate students, improve the learning environment, and strengthen academic outcomes.

The mission of the Center is to provide Black students, through cross-campus community collaborations and an intersectional, African-centered environment, with transformative, impactful and socially conscious programs that allow them to grow academically, interpersonally, culturally and professionally, in order to advance their recruitment, matriculation, retention and graduation.

We work with students and employees with disabilities to ensure all aspects of life on campus including academics, events and employment are accessible.

The Ethnic Studies Student Resource & Empowerment Center provides information, referral and assistance for all Ethnic Studies under-graduate and graduate students as well as the larger campus community.
