Abstract Details

2022, Doctor of Education , University of Dayton, Educational Administration.
The focus of this study is the retention of Black male students at universities. The study explored themes of sense of belonging, community building, and mentorship opportunities as ways to increase the retention of Black male students. In this qualitative study, Black male students from Penn State-Abington participated in interviews to discuss their experience at the university, which revealed things that the university could do to enhance their experience. Networking opportunities, social programs, and more representation with faculty and staff were some of the things the students suggested that the university should provide to enhance their experience. Establishing a mentorship program to assist the students with fostering a sense of belonging and building community at the university was the main action step of this study. The mentorship program would be co-created with professional staff and the Black male students with a goal of increasing retention of the students by 10% in an academic year.
