Minority Male Success Initiative Mission, Goals and History

The North Carolina Community College System (NCCCS) has designed the Minority Male Mentoring Program to more closely align with student success initiatives throughout the system. This model is designed to strengthen minority male student outcomes by encouraging participation and collaboration among student participants and institutional departments. To help achieve this, the NCCCS wants colleges to make a three-year commitment to assess and enhance the student success outcomes of minority male students.
