Registration Open! Next Essential Discussions - Black Male Achievement in Higher Education


I am pleased to invite you to register for “Black Male Achievement in Higher Education” — the fifth event in our series of Essential Discussions: Conversations at Monroe Community College, a series that explores urgent topics that are shaping the postsecondary agenda.

MCC will host this one-day colloquium on Thursday, May 7, 2015. This event will provide an opportunity to engage in conversations about our roles and responsibilities to help African-American males achieve academic success in higher education. This event will be held from 8:30 am to 3:15 pm in the Warshof Conference Center of the R. Thomas Flynn Campus Center.

The colloquium will feature Dr. Shaun R. Harper, associate professor and executive director of the Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of over 90 peer-reviewed journal articles and other academic publications, and  Dr. Shaun Nelms, deputy superintendent of the Educational Partnership Organization for the University of Rochester, and response panels with some of the Greater Rochester area’s leading educators, community and business leaders, and current and former MCC students who have successfully transferred to four-year colleges and universities.

To register or view the schedule for this event, please visit MCC’s website at https://www.monroecc.edu/go/colloquia. The registration deadline date is Friday, May 1. This event is free and open to the public.
