Faculty and staff will have the opportunity to meet together four times in the Spring over the lunch hour in the LYNAY classroom in Hunter Welcome Center.
In 1970, 60% of college students were young men and 40% were young women. Fifty years later those numbers are the exact opposite. In K12 schools, boys of all ages are doing worse than girls, by almost every metric: they are disciplined and diagnosed with learning disabilities at higher rates, their grades and test scores are lower, and they’re less likely to graduate from high school. Universities struggle to find male students eager to opt into leadership roles. In his book, Of Boys and Men, Richard Reeves addresses this complex and urgent crisis. As faculty and staff who recruit, enroll, mentor, teach, support, and encourage male students, we must consider who these young men are arriving on our campus and how we might best equip them in four years at ACU. Join us for this community book group this Spring to consider how to best serve our male students.
Dates: 1/22, 2/19, 3/26, 4/16.
The Adams Center and the Office of Enrollment are partnering to provide books to participants who register. Register for the book group here.
