Appreciation, Interaction, Motivation

AIM stands for Appreciation—Interaction—Motivation. The committee began in 2003 and currently consists of eight members who meet a few times a year and plan out events for their fellow staff members in the College.

BBQThe purpose of AIM is to promote camaraderie and cooperation among staff members in all the departments within the College. AIM sponsors events to bring staff members together to get to know each other, to share ideas, topics of concern, news about the college in particular and the university in general, etc.

This is accomplished by holding events, such as:

  • Annual DC staff picnic in August
  • Holiday lunch in December
  • Sweets Day in February
  • Soup, Salad and Bingo
  • Black and Gold events
Funding for AIM is provided by all of the academic departments in DC as well as the DC Dean’s office.
