Men of Color Summit - SUNY Fredonia
This past Saturday, ten students who participate in the Men of Excellence
program at Monroe Community College attended the 3rd Annual Men of Color Summit
at SUNY Fredonia. With over 100 participants from area colleges in attendance,
the young men were introduced to topics such as: Community Health and Research;
Entrepreneurship and Art; Dressing for Success; and The Power of Mentoring. The
summit concluded with a professional panel who addressed such issues as Fear of
Success; Dealing with Negativity; the importance of self-assessment and the
importance of using counseling as a way to remain centered and focused on their
goals. The panel also who encouraged and challenged the participants to become
the change they want to see by mentoring youth in their respective
communities.
Special recognition goes to Milladge Griffin for his ongoing commitment to
championing the needs of young men of color and for his continued excellent
work with the Men of Excellence, which reflects the College's mission in terms
of "...championing opportunity, innovation, and excellence while transforming
students' lives and our community."
