Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
To encourage and support academic success for all students, our Access and Multicultural Engagement (AME) programs were created in Fall 2018 to provide opportunities for mentorship, affinity groups, and community within Gies. Our community groups nurture students and provide safe environments for learning to engage in civil discussions around complex topics, such as diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism.

Membership Benefits
As a college student you may find yourself in diverse classroom settings, organizations, and - eventually - workplaces. It is important to prepare yourself to be able to adapt to diverse environments. For college students to be successful in their future careers, it is necessary that they develop a global mindset and worldview to be aware and understand that cultural diversity is a strength and a catalyst for connecting people, working together, and succeeding together. AME Programs support Gies Business students' understanding of the advantages of cultural diversity and the contributions diverse groups offer and encourages positive interactions and communication. Participation in AME Programs offers numerous personal and professional benefits.
