Mission
The 5-College Asian American Advisory Board, known as “AdBoard,” aims to foster a strong collective community at The Claremont Colleges by creating opportunities for interactions and building a strong sense of belonging and community across the 5C. These goals – sense of belonging, identity development and the creation of 5C community ties – are at the heart of AdBoard’s mission. The Board offers programs and provides complementary support to student groups and resources in collaboration with the mission of AdBoard. These groups and resources include: Pomona College’s Asian American Mentor Program (AAMP) and Asian American Resource Center (AARC), Scripps College’s Asian American Sponsor Program (AASP), Asian American Student Union (AASU), and SCORE, Pitzer’s Asian Pacific American Coalition (APAC) and Center for Asian Pacific Americans (CAPAS), Claremont McKenna College’s Asian Pacific American Mentor Program (APAM), and Harvey Mudd College’s Asian Pacific Islander Sponsor Program (API-SPAM), Empowering Pacific Islander American Communities (EPIAC), and Office of Institutional Development (OID), and the Intercollegiate Department of Asian American Studies (IDAAS).
