The Men's Program - This is a group that meets every other Tuesday at 7:00pm in 312 LaFortune Blue Room. This is a great way engage your students, staff, or man talk leaders in training about conversations and topics that they can bring back to your staff and hall. Meeting dates and topics are listed below.
Program Overview: Participants are invited to engage in conversation about: “What kind of man do I want to be?”, “What do I think it means to be a man?” and “In what ways does society influence my thoughts about masculinity?” The discussion is for individuals who may have never discussed masculinity before in their lives.
