As the great Notorious B.I.G. once rapped, "It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up! magazine..." Now, five years after co-founding our organization, the dedicated and focused effort of supporting Black male college students in achieving their aspirations is no longer a dream, but a tangible reality. Congratulations on this significant five-year milestone! Black males can win!

It’s our 5th anniversary! ?? The Collegiate Black Male Network was founded on February 5, 2020, by Co-Founders Darryl Hylton, Ed.D. and Jamie L. Enge, Ph.D. Their vision was to make a nationwide impact on the persistence and graduation rates of collegiate Black men. In just 5 years, the organization has grown and evolved to implement its founders’ vision, firmly believing that “Every Black Male Deserves a College Degree!” To celebrate this milestone, we pause to recognize several remarkable achievements: ? 23 publications amplifying collegiate Black male voices ? 4 cohorts of our ONYX25 program ? Collaboration with 18 professional mentors across various disciplines ? Initiating over 50 members into the organization ? Providing support to students at 11 colleges across the nation ? Chartering our inaugural collegiate chapter ? 100% of members have secured post-graduate placement (graduate school, professional school, or full-time career employment) Happy Founders’ Day to The Collegiate Black Male Network! ?? #TCBMN #004AAD #MentoringMatters
