Over the years, AAMI has proven to be effective in increasing RPG rates for African-American
males. African-American males are enrolling at higher rates, and more of them are
being retained beyond the first and second years of college. Data show students are
able to progress and be retained if they are receiving the right support, utilizing
available resources, and feel more connected to campus by being involved. AAMI provides
the support needed while encouraging students to get involved on campus.
We believe all students can be successful at UWG. With hard work, discipline, dedication, and determination, these students can be successful in and outside of the classroom. Our goal is that 100% of all students, particularly, African-American males, graduate within 4-6 years.
