We recognize that students hold multiple identities and lived experiences, while also being influenced by the environments surrounding them in their day to day lives beyond Aims. We value students and want them to be their full self. In an effort to do so, our hope is to counter negative stereotypes and images that limit and constrain the possibilities of one’s life.

We are committed to creating a community where students feel supported, fostering a brave space that encourages individuality and is ultimately a place where students feel valued and cared for.

We are committed to providing programming and educational opportunities that are student driven and centered around historically marginalized groups.

We promote im偏爱, 公平, and supporting our students by professionally responding to injustice, 偏爱, 和不公平, within the procedures, 流程, and distribution of resources by institutions or systems.
