Rating
0.0 stars

Core features/target population
In Fall 2016, A&M-SA enrolled a cohort of 171 males of color, of which only 34, or 20%, graduated within 5 years, dovetailing national trends of lower minority male enrollment and graduation in higher education. As a result, the University launched AIMM in Fall 2021, a year-long program to increase the retention, graduation, engagement, and overall success of ethnic minority males on campus.

Participants are expected to increase their knowledge and skills in: time management, academic and leadership development, personal and professional branding, mental and physical health, financial literacy, and civic responsibility. AIMM's holistic approach cultivates a sense of belonging for participants, thus increasing their chances for educational success and future quality of life.

Goals and objectives
Learning Outcomes:
1. By actively participating in A.I.M.M., students will enhance their professional skills through public speaking, resume development, and personal branding.
2. As an A.I.M.M. participant, students will foster mentoring relationships with A&M-SA faculty and staff that contribute to their personal, academic, and professional development as student leaders.
3. A.I.M.M. identifies and utilizes academic-related resources and tools to support its member's academic performance in the classroom.
4. A.I.M.M. provides opportunities for participants to connect with campus resources, students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the San Antonio community by providing a holistic approach cultivating a sense of belonging.
5. Participating in service-learning projects, A.I.M.M. participants will recognize the importance of community service and civic responsibility through personal involvement and municipal engagement with A&M-SA and the San Antonio community.
A.I.M.M. participants will participate in initiatives to improve their health holistically. This includes but is not limited to students' physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health and well-being.
7. As an A.I.M.M. participant, students will enter into a brotherhood bound by shared values, principles, attitudes, and beliefs.
8. A.I.M.M. will promote positive self-identity development by creating safe spaces for students to examine their own experiences and identities and to allow them to express it freely.

Initiative Pillars

Brotherhood
We define brotherhood as a network and/or group bounded by shared values, principles, attitudes, and beliefs. This brotherhood will challenge and empower their members positively and hold each other accountable.

Leadership
We define leadership in an individual and collective sense, as a person or group with the necessary qualities to be an example in multiple spaces. Leaders develop the ability to persevere and accept others' support and input to work cohesively towards a common goal with integrity.

College & Career Readiness
College and career readiness ensures that students are equipped with the translatable tools, skills, and abilities to succeed and excel academically. Students should be able to translate these skills and abilities into their chosen professional careers.

Health & Wellness
We define health and wellness as promoting healthy and holistic relationships amongst our students. Which includes, but it is not limited to, students' physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health and well-being.

Identity
We promote positive self-identity development by creating safe spaces for students to examine their own experiences and identities and to allow them to express it freely.

• Establish and/or deepen collaboration across campus and with students with lived experience
• Develop an initial theory of change
• Pilot 1-3 specific concrete actions and generate learnings to inform scale and spread

- Increase retention and timely progress to degree benchmarks by leveraging technology platforms
- Ease institutional barriers to ensure students can graduate in four years
- Increase high impact practices by providing training for all student success coaches to promote student success

Applied Learning Experiences (ALEs) are academic, and non-academic, transformative learning experiences designed to engage students in active and reflective learning to further develop beyond-disciplinary skills and expand students’ perspectives of self, community, and global environments.

With the guidance and mentoring of faculty and staff, students will think critically and articulate the broader impact of these activities, and learn to articulate the value of their experiences. The result will be a distinctive collegiate experience that prepares the student for life beyond college. The Applied Learning Experiences (ALE) categories are: Service Learning, Scholarly Activity, Internship/Practicum, Leadership, Discipline Knowledge, Cultural Enrichment

By successfully completing at least three of these approved activities across at least two categories, students will earn an ALE cord to wear at graduation.

The Ascender program began at Austin Community College in 2015. The mission of the program is to increase the educational attainment of Latinx students and other underserved communities in order to close equity gaps. That is, the Ascender program seeks to move ACC from a Hispanic serving institution to a Hispanic graduating institution by accelerating Latinx students, who are overrepresented in developmental education, to college-level coursework, and providing a structure of support to increase persistence and graduation. Ascender provides students with the academic, social, and leadership opportunities they need to graduate from community college, transfer and earn bachelor's degrees, and return to the community as leaders and mentors. The Ascender program is structured as a first-year experience program that provides wrap-around services including academic, student success, and community engagement components. Familia is at the heart of each component of the program. For instance, students move through their coursework as a learning community, developing affective and social bonds that ease their transition to college. In addition to the learning communities that provide support in academic coursework, Ascender hosts events, such as the Noche de Familia (family night), field trips to colleges/universities, motivational conferences, and other cultural events to further cohere the sense of belonging students feel at ACC. Because many Ascender students are first-generation college students, Ascender provides one-on-one mentoring through a volunteer mentoring program designed to introduce students to a network of role models and coaches that helps guide their first-year college experience. The network of Ascender mentors helps to facilitate greater navigation of sometimes challenging institutional structures.
