About

AIM is a diversity initiative that is sponsored by the Graduate School and International Education (GSIE), with diversity support across campus from various faculty, staff and administrators.  AIM invites prospective graduate students from minority serving institutions to the University of Arkansas for an enriching and educational experience.  AIM allows departments/graduate programs to interact with prospective graduate students, introduce them to faculty, other graduate students, and department administrators. The BGSA and GSIE also expose the students to other graduate support resources and the NWA community.
