- The Faces of Manhood Initiative is a presidential level initiative with a mission to produce academically superior, morally conscious leaders, for stimulating dialogue and increasing literacy about masculinities, sex, sexuality, sexual expression, and healthy relationships in the context of the world gender order of the 21st century. We seek to better understand the institution’s role in providing the best educational experience that models the ideals of the “renaissance vision of the college.”
- Infuse issues of masculinities, sex, sexuality, accountability, risk-taking behaviors, sexual identity, and sexual expression into existing courses or develop interdisciplinary course modules across the curriculum.
- Establish an active “ambassador leadership peer-to-peer” student cohort program-Critical Thinking Leaders (CTL) advancing the most enlightened exchange of knowledge on relevant issues.
- Facilitate a harbor that provides an open and enlightened conversation, that is to develop a common language for discussion of sexuality and sexual expression in the context of an all-male, and predominantly black community.
- Examine existing formal and informal structures, policies and recommend changes that foster greater inclusion.
- Establish a curriculum module focused on issues of masculinities, sex, sexuality, sexual identity, and sexual expression as an ongoing feature of Freshman Assembly.
- Establish an educational Center of Excellence for the Scientific Study of Masculinities (CESS-M)
