A.I.M.S.
Achievement Initiative for Male Success Program
Kutztown University is committed to helping all students to reach their full potential. In the fall of 2017 a new initiative known as the Achievement Initiative for Male Success Program (A.I.M.S.) was introduced to the Kutztown community.
The focus of the A.I.M.S. program is the academic and social advancement of self-identified male students and their allies at Kutztown University. It is KU’s hope to improve the support network of male students and their allies with their peers, staff, faculty, and alumni. The university hopes that by improving the male experience through the development of their academic, personal, and social skills, this will lead to higher retention and graduation rates for our students. Membership is open to all KU students.
Mission: Through AIMS, we seek to provide every participant a safe, supportive, and engaging support system so they can continue their education and graduate from Kutztown University.
Vision: To graduate every AIMS participant in four years from Kutztown University so they can live and lead a productive and fulfilling life after college.
