Annual African American Male Retreat

Purpose

The purpose of the African American Retreat is to promote self awareness, unity, academic motivation, leadership, and manhood among a concentrated group of African American males. Students will be able to come together during the retreat and discuss relevant topics specific to their experiences in higher education.

Initially, the Retreat served as a platform from which students could discuss their plight on The Ohio State University's campus.  Currently, the Retreat has become a place of refuge for all African American Male undergraduate and graduate student participants who attend.  Open to students across the nation, attendees are exposed to nationally renowned speakers, presented with insightfully themed workshops with applicable and practical information, and are able to enjoy an exciting opportunity to network and reflect on who they are and the unlimited potential they possess.
