Each month we have a Gender Specific Initiative for our UB students. These events take place on campus at SSU from 6pm to 8pm and students must RSVP to attend. For the February event, UB male scholar participants and their dads/village supporters attended “Males, Mentoring and Muffins.” This was a workshop to bring fathers and father figures and sons together to learn more about themselves and discuss life as a male and self-empowerment. Thank you to every student and “mentor” that attended. We appreciate you! The next gender specific activity is for our UB females on Thursday, March 28, 2019.
