Access & Institutional Engagement

Empowering Access, Fostering Engagement

The Office of Access & Institutional Engagement at Arkansas State University is dedicated to finding innovative ways to advance the institutional mission of creating an environment where everyone feels valued and is conducive to educating, enhancing, and enriching lives. We strive to make Arkansas State University a place of belonging to all individuals regardless of race, ethnicity, color, religion, ability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation or socio-economic status.

We want to be proactive and intentional about creating an opportunity to retain and cultivate meaningful connections between the institution and its various stakeholders – students, faculty, staff, alumni and the broader community; through enhanced support networks, mentorship opportunities and collaborative initiatives which will benefit everyone. This not only enriches the educational experience for all stakeholders but also prepares them to thrive in any environment.

How have we done this?

Access & Institutional Engagement (AIE) is a proud supporter of programs, registered student organizations, and Arkansas State initiatives geared toward engaging and uplifting students, faculty and staff on campus and in the community. The Office of AIE has supported but not limited to: The Multicultural Center, International Student Services, Women and Gender Studies, Faculty & Staff Associations, Black Student Association, Strong Turner Alumni, Arkansas Martin Luther King Jr. Commission, Women's Leadership, Lecture/Concert series, and many others.
