Affinity groups are a place for people in the community to come together to learn more about their identities and to feel more connected based on those identities. They provide a space for reflection, dialogue, and support. The goal of our affinity groups is to facilitate positive identity exploration and development towards the larger goal of creating an inclusive and thriving community. These voluntary groups offer a time and space for empowerment of the individual and of the group within the greater community.
Our affinity groups include but are not limited to: SOCS (Students of Color Society), SNAPS (Student Network of Asian and Pacific Islanders), AAA (Asian Asian-American Alliance), BiA (Boys In Action) and BLB (Boys Leading Boys), BSA (Black Student Association), Change Agents (Co-Conspirators and Agents of Change), HOLA (Hispanic Organization for Latine Awareness), JiNY (Jewish in New York), MMM (Meet Me in the Middle for Middle Eastern students), M&Ms (Multiracial and Multicultural students), Our Space (queer and questioning students), QSA (Queer Straight Alliance), fEmpower, and Spectrum (neurodiversity).
