  *2014 Black and Latino Male Summit*

*Saturday, February 22, 2014*

*University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign*

*Activities & Recreation Center (ARC)*



*Call for Proposals*

The 2014 Black and Latino Male Summit (BLMS) provides a forum for Black and
Latino men to discuss issues on manhood and to develop strategies to
achieve academic success, professional development, and wellness.
Furthermore, the organizers and sponsors of this summit seek to promote
camaraderie, coalition building, and community between Black and Latino men
at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.  Last year’s event was
attended by about 100 students, community members and administrators;
summit participants came from an array of colleges and universities:
2-year, 4-year, public and private. We want to match last year’s energy and
output.



The Summit organizers encourage submission of innovative proposals that
address the conference's focus on Black and Latino Males in Higher
Education and that consider the following issues:



·        *Issues in Urban Environments* - This area will focus on the
effects of socioeconomic status, public school systems, activism, and
coalition building within our communities.

·        *Professional Development* - This area will focus on networking,
the academic advantages of receiving mentorship, business etiquette and how
Black and Latino males can further develop their leadership to help them be
successful as students and as professionals.

·        *Navigating Social Norms and Stigmas* – This area will focus on
the issues of fatherhood, manhood and masculinity within Black and Latino
cultures; how to develop healthy relationships; and how to be personally,
psychologically and financially stable.

·        *Higher Education* - This area will focus on the presence or lack
thereof Black and Latino males in higher education; the opportunities and
challenges presented to men of color in the academy (i.e. matriculation,
graduate school access, campus climate); and mentorship.
