Black Men's Initiative

Loyola University Chicago's Black Men's Initiative

The Black Men's Initiative (BMI) is a retention effort spearheaded by the Department of Student Diversity and Multicultural Affairs in collaboration with other offices throughout the university community. The goal of the initiative is to increase the retention and matriculation of Black Men at Loyola University Chicago. While Black males are one of the smallest underrepresented groups that are entering college, studies show that they are also the most at risk. This initiative is designed to improve the academic and personal success of Black Men in college. We hope to assist them in developing an understanding of their responsibilities as college students and as contributors to the broader society. We seek to build a strong community of dedicated individuals and to establish a supportive network for the group and its participants.
