Affinity Groups...where students come together because they have a
shared social identity, such as race, gender, sexual orientation or religion, for example, and can speak to the experience of being a member of the group. These are
safe spaces because they are
only for individuals who identify with the rest of the group.
Examples include:
- African American Mentoring Program (AAMP)
- La Familia
- P10
Interest Groups...where students come together because they want to learn about, teach or engage in a topic of shared interest. These are
brave spaces because club members frequently engage the larger community through teaching and education about members of their individual community.
Examples include:
- African American Association (AAA)
- Latino Students Association
- Femnist Club
- Gender and Sexual Alliance
