2nd Annual Latino Males Symposium at UT Austin, May 4th 8AM-2PM

Registration is free, and food is provided. From the registration site:

"Based within the Academic Diversity Initiatives of DDCE, Project MALES aims to create and cultivate a support network for Latino male students at UT-Austin, within local school districts, and throughout the surrounding community. The Project is a research-informed model that highlights mentoring as a way to leverage social capital among Latino males. Specifically, we hope to explore innovative ways to establish mentoring links between Latino male role models, current UT Latino male students, and younger Latino males within the Austin area and surrounding communities."

While men in general are underrepresented in higher ed relative to women (~60% of graduates are women), these disparities tend to be greater among men of color.
