Advising Black Male Students in 2020 and Beyond – NACADA
Tuesday, Nov. 17 from 2 to 3:30 p.m. in BTC 219
Please register at the link at the bottom of the page.
In the September 2020 edition of Academic Advising Today, six Black male NACADA leaders began the dialogue “for improving and strengthening the Black male student academic advising experience.” Having “experienced microaggressions, subtle and overt racism, and prejudgment” in their own personal and professional lives, they consider how academic advisors and advising administrators “can work together to improve the overall experience for Black male students.”
In this webinar, sponsored by NACADA’s Inclusion and Engagement Committee and moderated by committee Chair Locksley Knibbs, these scholars come to the virtual environment to take the conversation to a broader and deeper level. They will discuss the variation and complexity of Black male identity and address some of the challenges faced by Black males in higher education settings (such as microaggressions, racial battle fatigue, John Henryism, and imposter syndrome). They will consider what advising professionals can do to facilitate the development of Black male resilience, including cultivating self-efficacy, identifying coping mechanisms, and nurturing hope. In this solution-focused presentation, they will share how these narratives can increase retention and graduation for Black male students.
