      ab: For more than a decade, there has been a dramatic decline in the percentage of African American males attending postsecondary institutions. In an effort to reverse this trend, some institutions (i.e., University of Georgia) have commissioned task forces and committees to investigate the causes of this decline as well as provide recommendations to address this problem. One of the recommendations presented to the University System Board of Regents included the development and support of not only initiatives designed to prepare African American males for postsecondary options, but programs that offer academic and social support once enrolled. This article describes one of the six programs selected by the Board of Regents to address the aforementioned decline in one Southeastern state. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
