MISSION

AASM was created to ensure that African American students at Anderson have a rewarding academic experience and are equipped with the tools to ensure post- graduate success. We strive to foster a sense of community and teamwork by coming together to share personal, academic and professional insights.

GOALS

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We seek to increase the personal networks of our members and raise corporate awareness to the pool of talented African Americans at Anderson. To this end, AASM will develop relationships with alumni, corporations committed to diversity and other professional organizations, in order to expose our members to African American business leaders.

PEER SUPPORT
As we support one another in academic pursuits and social interactions, the AASM aims to improve the quality of student life for its members. Increasing the connectivity of the group will result in deeper relationships with one another and the Anderson community.

RECRUITMENT
We seek to increase the number and quality of African American applicants to Anderson and subsequently increase the number of admitted students. It is the goal of AASM to facilitate community involvement on the part of its membership while students and ultimately as alumni of Anderson.
