Building Bridges To Success For Students Of Color

As Metropolitan State University of Denver (MSU Denver) continues its commitment to retaining, supporting, and graduating male-identified students of color, the Brother-to-Brother Program is set to organize the University’s first Men of Color Leadership Summit.  

 

The summit, known as the Collegiate Men of Color Leadership Summit, strives to establish a secure and inclusive environment where collegiate men of color can convene to delve into crucial topics affecting their lives. These include health and wellness, societal stereotypes, leadership, and persistence in their academic journeys.  

 

While MSU Denver is attentive to retention and graduation rates for all students, there is a particular focus on addressing concerns related to the degree attainment of Black/African American and Latino American men.
