Leadership Development
AAMI PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Leadership is important in all facets of our program. As a result, MALE Connection students have participated in a vast array of activities designed to increase their leadership ability. We intended to provide an intentional focus on understanding how to both follow leadership and lead when the moment requires their skillset. Thus, students have attended and presented at both regional and national conferences, collaborated with other organizations, planned and executed their own events, and most importantly, paid it forward in their communities and in their careers. Check out just a few of the leadership activities our students have participated in below.
• Co-presented at the 2011 National Conference on Race & Ethnicity (NCORE) • Attended the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2017 NCORE conferences with university peers and leaders across campus • Attendance at the Georgia Collegiate Leadership Conference in 2014 at the University of Georgia • Planned and executed the first-ever Black Male Summit for our program in 2015 • Attended the 2019 National Student Leadership Diversity Conference with GC Theatre majors • Attended the Virtual 2021 Black Male Summit with other AAMI students, hosted by Georgia Southern • Co-facilitation of bi-weekly sessions for AAMI • Leadership positions in NPHC fraternities (in several cases, students held more than one executive board position simultaneously)
