SUMMIT OVERVIEW

Join us as we bring together Black male college students and educators to encourage and find innovative ideas to increase the success of Black male students in California’s community college system.  The summit is hosted by the African American Male Education Network & Development (A²MEND), a nonprofit comprising African American male educators, who voluntarily use their professional expertise to operate a statewide mentoring program for Black male college students.

This year's theme, "THE AUSAR PROJECT: resurrecting black male success", will cultivate the importance of re-establishing the black male success in the community college and their presence in the community as a whole.  Please click to view a video on AUSAR and the history.

The African American Male Education Network and Development (A2MEND) invite administrators, researchers, staff, faculty and non-profit/community leaders to submit workshop proposals for the 16th Annual African American Male Summit, "The Ausar Project: resurrecting black male success."

Proposals will be judged on their relevance to the strands, content, quality, applicability, and overall connection to issues affecting African American male students and how these strategies relate to the conference theme. All proposals should include clearly-stated student/participant learning outcomes addressing the salient information students/participants should leave with as a result of attending the session. All proposals must be postmarked by January 13, 2023 in order to be accepted for review and consideration.     SUBMIT PROPOSALS HERE!
