Open Discussions For Male-Identifying Individuals

A men's discussion series is happening this semester at NEIU. This effort is a collaboration between Student Affairs, Pedroso Center, and students themselves all in conjunction with support from the Dept. of Justice grant for sexual assault prevention and education. The series is called "Barbershop Talk" and the focus is to drive discussion on topics related to the male experience. The following flyer includes the dates for the series and details.

This series is geared toward male-identifying individuals in our community. On March 26th, the discussion will be on "Masculinity in sports" and April 28th it will be "Masculinity and Health".  

If you have questions about the series, contact Maxwell, Christopher, Assistant Dean of Students <c-maxwell2@neiu.edu>.

Anyone in the NEIU community may attend the events and participate in the series. Student, staff, or faculty alike across all genders and gender expressions. However, the content is male-centered and the discussion will be focused around the male-identity.
