MAN2MAN
A few years ago, a group of faculty and administrators came together to check on the
state of Black men and found that their experiences were markedly different from most
Loyola students, and even different from their Black women counterparts. Therefore,
we formed what is known as MAN2MAN. Since that time, we have expanded the program
to include other men of color as well as their allies. As a result, we have seen tremendous
enhancement in the lives of our male students.
MAN2MAN meets bi-weekly on Tuesdays from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Center for Intercultural Engagement (CIE), which is located on the 3rd floor of the Andrew White Student Center. If you are a Black man, a man of color, or an ally at Loyola, consider attending a MAN2MAN meeting! Enjoy the opportunity to meet, mingle, and network with your fellow men, and with our MAN2MAN Mentors, who are Faculty, Staff, and Administrators at the University who serve in this capacity. You can also enjoy fellowship over a delicious meal.
