Notes from AIM 2023 

Last year we were excited to welcome 11 students to campus for the Advance into Moravian 2023 program. Newly redesigned, the 2023 program featured a variety of academic, programmatic, and social activities meant to introduce students to college life at Moravian University. 

Here are some of the topics we covered in last year’s program:

• Accessing Academic Support Resources 
• Career Development at the University 
• Student Success Panel from Upperclass Moravian Students 
• Mental Health and Wellness
• Student Engagement and Club Participation 
• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University 
• Navigating Financial Aid 
• International Study and Service Abroad Opportunities
• Community Service and Civic Engagement
• Social Experiences both on and off campus
• Weekly Team Building Experiences 

Notes from members of our previous Advance into Moravian cohorts:

“It helped me feel more ready to handle the workload that comes with attending college”

“It helped me get out of my shell a little bit and helped with improving my writing.”

Notes from our codirectors:

“One of the most important components of the AIM program is the connections made between students, staff, and faculty involved. It really becomes a close-knit community that extends far beyond the summer program and into the Fall semester and beyond.” 

- Chris Hassay, Program Co-Coordinator, Academic Experience

“This intensive summer experience provides the opportunity to form relationships that will help a student throughout their entire experience at Moravian.” 

- Alvert Hernandez, Program Co-Coordinator, Student Experience
