encourage more students”

27.  This event was very successful. It is clear from
the responses on the evaluations that the
students enjoyed the event. Several students
commented that they were very thankful for
the event and would like to see more like it.

28.  Minority male students are at a high risk for
dropout.They are the least likely to attend
college. Holding at least two events per
semester will help in solidifying a sense of
community among this student group.
