The Men of Distinction group is a program that assists male multicultural students in their transition into college through a year long series of meetings exploring issues of race and gender. Along with the weekly meetings , men engaged with the program will be given a mentor (a professional male from the De Pere, Green Bay and greater Fox Cities area) that will serve as a role model, ally and advocate for the participants. Mentors will also help participants by challenging and assisting them with issues they face as they emerge into adulthood. Students involved will learn to challenge current social norms as well as develop a positive sense of identity. Participants will gain leadership skills that will enable them to be successful in their current educational life as well as their future family and community living.

The Men of Distinction program is a collaborative effort between Multicultural Student Services and the Men's Initiative. For more information contact: Bridgit Martin.
