Herff participates in Student Networking Dinner
|
|
|
The Benjamin L. Hook Institute for Social Change hosted their 5th annual Student Networking
Dinner for members of the Hooks African American Male Initiative (HAAMI) and A Seat at the Table (ASATT). Made possible thanks to grant funding from Truist, the event provided students
dinner and the opportunity to network with community professionals.
HAAMI focuses on enriching the collegiate experience and improving graduation outcomes
for African American undergraduate male students at the University of Memphis. The
program’s pillars are academic achievement, personal development, and career readiness.
Engineering majors make up the largest group of our HAAMI members. ASATT is an initiative
sponsored by the Benjamin L. Hook Institute for Social Change in collaboration with
the Office of Multicultural Affairs with the goal of empowering women students by
providing mentorship opportunities, financial literacy lessons and career readiness
skills.
