Our Mission: The mission of the Clemson University Men of Color National Summit is to close the opportunity gap for African-American and Hispanic males, from cradle to career. Bringing together approximately 2,000 high school and college students, business professionals, educators, government officials and community leaders from around the country, the summit will emphasize the importance of education, best practices and choices to increase high school and college graduation rates. The national conference will lead awareness to the changing U.S. demographics by enhancing the experience of men of color through involvement and engagement, preparing them for a global mindset.
