Our Director of Student Services, Robbyn Kawaguchi, provides assistance to students in achieving their academic and career goals. Students can work with the Director of Student Services to access disability services, tutoring, scholarship information, and community resources. In addition to providing ongoing support through completion of the program, the Student Services department works closely with student groups to enhance campus life, and maintains connections with our alumni to provide ongoing support and networking opportunities.

Please feel free to contact the Director of Student Services, Robbyn Kawaguchi, with any questions, concerns, or suggestions.

DISABILITY SERVICES

AIMC Berkeley extends reasonable and appropriate accommodations upon request to students with documented disabilities. Students who wish to request accommodations should meet with the Director of Student Services to discuss their needs and review the documentation required in order for the necessary provisions to be arranged.

TUTORING

AIMC offers a variety of tutoring services to students in need of additional academic help.

Students who are not eligible for free tutoring services are welcome to hire any of the school’s individual tutors and pay for the assistance out-of-pocket. In such cases, the tutor will determine his/her rate and the student will pay the tutor directly. AIMC is not involved in tutor-for-hire agreements and cannot intercede in such matters.

STUDENT COUNCIL

Student Council is the student organization representing students at AIMC Berkeley. In addition to providing support and guidance to fellow students, the Council organizes a number of student events throughout the year including craft fairs, tea tastings, decompression rooms during finals, and end-of-term socials.  All students are invited to participate in the council, and council activities are open to all students. Representatives meet every month internally, and host school-wide student meetings every month as well. If you have a suggestion for the Student Council, you can submit it here.

Mission Statement: The AIMC Student Council is organized for the purpose of advocating for our diverse student body by representing its ideas, needs, and priorities via transparent communication and a team-based approach to problem solving. We work to advance the interests and well-being of AIMC and its students through our proactive leadership role on campus. We strive to promote clear communication between students and the school administration and to champion the highest-quality academic experience. We encourage opportunities for AIMC students to enrich their connections to one another through social events, networking opportunities, and a cooperative school culture.

Testimonials

"One of my favorite things about AIMC is the sense of community. We come together to support each other through challenges. Instead of a sense of competitiveness between students, there is a caring community that lifts everybody up. The faculty and staff are approachable and provide wonderful support during your graduate journey."
