"So our purpose and mission is to provide resources for support in these areas so that success can be enhanced and retention improved for men of color on campus." Doxey said the program will teach senior and junior males of color leadership, mentor-shi- p skills and how to identify their strengths and use those strengths to boost confidence and overall success. Freshmen men of color will have the opportunity to learn from their mentors while feeling connected and supported by the community and motivated to seek leadership positions. Sourberbielle said this is particularly important as most of DSU's students of color come from outside of Washington County. This means, in the future, freshmen students of color will have peers whom they can connect with immediately and a support network while also reducing the adjustment period for students who are traveling for school. Jesus Rosas, a sophomore mathematics major from St. George, and president of DSU's Hispanic Student Association, said leadership is about being an example for younger students to follow. "I feel that there are very few males of color that keep studying after high school and fewer who try to become leaders," Rosas said. "But I think if they see others like them becoming leaders and excelling, they'll be more inclined to follow in leaders' footsteps."
