Diversity / International Program
The Diversity/International Affairs office is located on the 2nd floor of the McCain Student Center. This includes a study room with computer access and a student organization office for campus use.
The diversity/international program’s emphasis is placed on retention and recruitment in order to maintain a steady enrollment of minority/international student at Albertson College of Idaho. In 2004-2005 Albertson College of Idaho’s minority/International population was 12% of the total student body population. The department serves as a liaison between minority/international students and parents, the admission office, the financial aid office (scholarships internal & external), campus counselors, study skills personnel, the campus minister, faculty and other departments. The Director of Diversity/International Affairs oversees the minority/international program.
The diversity/international program works to encourage ACI students to reach their academic goal of obtaining a bachelor's degree and to provide inspiration to others in diversity/international communities. All students are welcome.
