LEAD Institute

An instructor and student sharing a positive, supportive interaction while working together in a classroom.

The Leadership, Empowerment, Achievement and Development (LEAD) Institute is a space at 91涩漫 where African-American men can come and grow academically, professionally, culturally, and personally. With a variety of resources, services, and programs, the LEAD Institute seeks to prepare Black men for success as academics, scholars, professionals, community activists, husbands, and fathers.

In the thoughts and words of our great ancestor, Baba Kwesi Ronald Harris, our goal is to embrace, engage, educate, enlighten, and empower our participants with fullness and commitment. Please feel free to stop by and immerse yourself in our tight community on campus to socialize, network, study, or learn. You are welcome here.

Mission Statement

The mission of the LEAD Institute is to actively increase retention and graduation rates of African-American men on campus while helping participants reach their highest levels of academic, intellectual, vocational, and personal success.
