AFFIRM is a program designed to increase the retention and transfer rate of African American students, as well as other students of diverse ancestries to four-year colleges and universities. Emphasis is placed on the General Educational Curriculum: History, English, Science, Language, Visual and Performing Arts, and core discipline requirements. By using the Student Success and Support Program services, students will have access to counseling services, orientation, assessment, advising, and other education planning. The AFFIRM community seeks to educate our students by attending educational events to universities, cultural events, leadership opportunities and more. An essential component to the success of the AFFIRM program is the collaboration between students, parents, faculty and staff at Delta College.
