When: Friday, July 29th, 2011 Time: 9am-2pm Where: Howard University
Overview:
On July 29, 2011 there will be a mentor program entitled Project ASPIRATION that will be held at the historical Howard University in conjunction with the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. Centennial Celebration. The centennial will attract more than 50,000 participants from all over the world. Our program will expose 250 black males ages 13 to 18 from all over the country to a variety of careers and life skills rooted in the cardinal principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift. The program will focus on careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) and ways to prepare for success in those fields.
This one-day event will feature four interactive sessions lead by Brothers in the fields of STEM. The Brothers will engage the student participants (referred to as “Scholars”) about ways science, technology, engineering and math impact their everyday life and their duty to self, family and community. Our aim is to have each Scholar leave with a greater interest in and appreciation of these important fields and their ability to make positive contributions.
Share ideas and/or resources that help black males achieve higher education attainment and high aspirations on the volunteer registration form.
