AIMS101 - First-Year Seminar
First-Year Seminar will connect you to your college community! You will make friends, find study partners, meet campus advocates and supporters, learn about the many resources available to you, and build your success network at the college. By registering for this non-credit class, you may be eligible for a scholarship for the following semester.
iFocus Workshops
The iFocus workshop series, offered on all campuses and online, will assist students in developing and achieving their educational, professional, and personal goals. iFocus was created to meet the needs of students in the areas of academics, multiculturalism, leadership, health and wellness, career and transfer, and technology. Popular workshops include: Aims Online:D2L Orientation, Make & Take Aromatherapy, Mastering the Job Interview, Fuel Your Body, Fuel Your Brain, and many more!
Catalyst
Catalyst is a selective program for students returning to Aims after at least one semester with a minimum 2.0 GPA. To apply to the program, students must be nominated by a faculty or staff member. The term “catalyst” is defined as someone or something that encourages progress and change. This unique program helps students foster a mindset of completion and a vision of the “end in mind.” Over the span of two semesters (Spring & Fall) participants are provided the opportunity to improve skills attractive to future employers: teamwork, communication, leadership, organization, decision making, and other personal/professional skills. Membership in Catalyst strengthens your leadership skills, making you “the” candidate for your future career!
Peer Coaching
Peer coaches serve as guides to all Aims students, supporting them both academically and socially during their time at Aims. Peer coaches encourage students to participate in co-curricular programs and campus events, connect to campus and community resources, and offer academic support by assisting students with study skills and technology questions related to assignments. Peer Coaches are available for 1-1 support in the Learning Commons and in the Transitions Center on the Greeley campus, look for them in their blue shirts!
