The four colleges of the State Center Community College District present the 2nd Annual Men of Color Summit on Friday, March 24, 2023. Fresno City College, Reedley College, Clovis Community College, and Madera Community College have partnered to bring more than 300 local high school males of color to the summit. The summit will be held in the Old Administration Building at Fresno City College.
With a nationwide decline in college enrollment of men of color, the presidents of these colleges found a need to offer this summit once again to help curb that decline and show men of color that there is a place for them in higher education.
The summit includes special speakers and sessions designed to present information to help the students learn about higher education and successfully meeting future goals. Students will be greeted by Fresno City College President, Dr. Robert Pimentel; Madera Community College President, Dr. Angel Reyna; and SCCCD Chancellor, Dr. Carole Goldsmith. Attendees will also hear from Dr. Saúl Jiménez-Sandoval, CSU Fresno President and Dr. André Stephens, Fresno Pacific University President. The keynote speaker is Dr. Francisco Rodriguez, Chancellor of the Los Angeles Community College District. The lunch keynote speaker is Richard “TJ” Jennings, Reedley College head men’s basketball coach.
Sessions will include a variety of topics designed to give students the skills and vital information they can use to find success in education and professionally.
