What are affinity groups?
Affinity groups* emerge from shared identities or common bonds. They aren't structured formally; instead, they're spaces where organic community engagement thrives, allowing students to bond over shared experiences. Our aim is for these groups to cultivate welcoming environments where all students can confidently embrace their true selves.
In essence, affinity groups:
- Promote inclusion through peer support and social interaction.
- Offer a sense of safety, encouragement, and belonging.
- Encourage involvement through specialized communities.
We are honored to provide space bringing these important groups together on our campus.
