ACCESS & MULTICULTURAL ENGAGEMENT

Who We Are

Access and Multicultural Engagement (AME) is a special office within Undergraduate Programs that aims to build a community that values engagement, promotes advocacy, and intentionally celebrates the uniqueness of each student. This office offers strategic programs and events that contribute to the enrichment of the College and the betterment of the broader campus community.

Ways To Get involved

AME offers students a range of programs, discussions, social events, resources, guest lectures, and events designed to celebrate difference, explore multicultural education, and supports the needs of our diverse student body. We aim to broaden cultural perspectives, enhance leadership skills, and inspire lifelong friendships. Watch Gies Groups for AME event and program announcements and invites!

Ongoing AME Programs:

  • Black Men's Connection
    • Black Men's Connection is a bi-weekly meeting designed to uplift and support the Black men at Gies College of Business. Black Men's Connection meets from 5-6 pm at the Bruce D. Nesbitt African American Cultural Center at 1212 W. Nevada Street in Urbana. Check out Gies-at-a-Glance, the Office for Undergraduate Programs weekly newsletter, for upcoming dates!
