BNRC National Black Male Retreat

BNRC retreat attendees listen to speaker

The National Black Male Retreat promotes self-awareness, unity, academic motivation, leadership and manhood among a concentrated group of Black 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 perceived place on The Ohio State University's campus. Currently, the retreat is a place of refuge for all undergraduate student participants who attend. Open to students from across the nation, attendees are exposed to nationally renowned speakers and presented with insightfully themed workshops with applicable and practical information. Additionally, attendees are able to enjoy an exciting opportunity to network and reflect on who they are and the unlimited potential they possess.
