BELONGING AT AIC
Students like Saniya embody AIC’s core values. She works with other students on diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging initiatives to maintain our campus’ tight-knit community.
THE FIRST-GEN. STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Swastik, like a lot of our students, is the first person in his family to go to college. At AIC, he has found an environment where he thrives with plenty of room to grow as a scholar and as a person.
LIFE AS AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
“International” is literally AIC’s middle name. Grace is one of our many students who traveled thousands of miles away from her home country to begin her journey at AIC.
ATHLETICS AT AIC
Nearly half of all undergraduates here are student-athletes who win conference and national championships. Brandon isn’t just a two-year captain of our baseball team: he’s a good sport who gives back to the community alongside our Yellow Jackets.
SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES
AIC’s School of Health Sciences gives students the hands-on approach to learning that aspiring medical professionals seek in state-of-the-art laboratories. Students like Janelis who were once alumni return to AIC to earn their advanced degrees and take the next step in their career.
SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, ARTS, AND SCIENCES
Each program in our School of Business, Arts, and Sciences teaches students all the necessary tools they need to succeed in life beyond the classroom, like critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Isaiah is the perfect person to share how students put seemingly disparate fields of study all together for a cohesive education.
CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
If you come here, you belong here. Our student-run clubs and organizations have something for everyone—and if you want to make your own, you can. Sha’Don leads a few organizations on campus, including AIC’s longstanding Persons Ready in Defense of Ebony (P.R.I.D.E.) organization.
LIVING ON CAMPUS
There are tons of fun events and activities that bring students together to bond as a community. The residence halls, run by people like Arianna, are where AIC students really get to know each other and make the college feel like home.
