Webinar: Designing Retention Programming to Address the Influence of Masculine Identities on Success for Community College Men of Color


The Diversity Council & the Office of Student Life and Leadership Development presents:

Designing Retention Programming to Address the Influence of Masculine Identities on Success for Community College Men of Color

If you haven’t noticed, students of color are not succeeding in college as many hoped and predicted.  This is true especially of African American males.  The statics are alarming.  As educators this should be of great concern (especially at MCC, which has a large population of African American and Latino males).  So the question becomes why?  What can we do?  Research has shown that masculine identities can influence the success of men of color in college.  This webinar will discuss how those engaged in retention programming can design and implement efforts to address the influence of masculine identity on success for men of color.

We hope that you all have the time to attend this very important webinar:
