Men About Change (MAC)

Men About Change is a male mentoring program that was initiated by Multicultural Academic Student Services in the fall of 2007. Men About Change serves as a brother-peer program to the Women's Initiative of Strength and Hope mentoring program. This program provides young men at Central Michigan University with the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills as well as obtain professional and academic guidance in order to help them obtain their undergraduate degrees while preparing them to assist other young men to do the same.

Vision:
