A Brief History

Across the nation, there are many organizations dedicated to providing college access services for traditionally underrepresented, marginalized students. However, research shows a lack of support for these same students as they pursue a college degree. 

 

Conceptualized in 2016 as a part of co-founder Dr. Darryl Hylton's doctoral research, Dr. Hylton wanted to examine the impact of mentoring on the persistence of African-American males at predominately white institutions (PWIs). What started off as two-sections of a First Year Seminar class has now expanded into the organization we see today.

Mission & Vision

The mission of The Collegiate Black Male Network is to increase the persistence and graduation rates of collegiate African-American males through mentoring. 

 

The vision of The Collegiate Black Male Network is to become the leading mentoring organization for collegiate African-American males.
