The Diverse Male Scholar Initiative works alongside students to develop unique programs and workshops throughout the year, which promote a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and a contemporary understanding of what it means to navigate life as self-identified men of color. All students, regardless of sex, race, color, or national origin, who are interested in the program's mission and focus are welcome.
