Affinity groups are gatherings for people with a shared background or interest to connect for mutual support, understanding, special events, and a sense of belonging. Current affinity groups for students, faculty, and staff at SCI-Arc include but are not limited to groups for our Black/African American, Hispanic/Latine, Persian, Japanese, Asian and Pacific Islander, LGBTQIA, and veteran communities. If you would like to learn more about starting an affinity group, contact Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Zahida Sherman at [email protected].
