The Brotherhood Initiative at the University of Washington is a dynamic research team and practitioners aligning to support males of color.
The BI is a collaborative partnership among the College of Education, Undergraduate Academic Affairs, Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity, and the Division of Student Life. Guided by a steering committee of staff, faculty, and students, the BI focuses on two primary goals:
Promote student growth and success by developing a cohort-based support system that will holistically promote the academic, personal, and leadership development of underrepresented male students of color at UW
Inform research and policy by conducting interdisciplinary research on factors that promote the success of young men of color within the educational system
The mission of the Brotherhood Initiative at the University of Washington Seattle is to empower undergraduate males of color to thrive on campus and graduate prepared for a lifetime of leadership, service, and success.
