A University System of Georgia (USG) initiative aimed at increasing the number ofAfrican-American males enrolled in the state’s colleges and universities has a newhome at Kennesaw State University.

The African-American Male Initiative (AAMI), formerly based at the Atlantaoffices of the Board of Regents, has followed the project’s two top administratorsto Kennesaw State.

Daniel S. Papp, president of Kennesaw State, and Arlethia Perry-Johnson, KSUspecial assistant to the president for external affairs and AAMI’s project director,have overseen the project since its inception.“With the University System of Georgia's African-American Male Initiative nowcalling Kennesaw State University its home, KSU looks forward to taking a national leadership role in helping to redress the issue of too few African-American males pursuing higher education,” Papp said.

Perry-Johnson said the AAMI is a good fit at KSU because it reflects one of the administration’s key goals.

“Dr. Papp has articulated a strong commitment to diversity as an integral element of the university’s mission, and the goals of AAMI are symbiotic withthe university’s diversity goals,” she said.

Since the AAMI was launched five years ago, the enrollment of black males in the University System has increased by almost 16 percent, from 17,068 students in fall 2002 to 19,780 in fall 2006.

“The goal of the program is to increase the recruitment, retention and graduation of young black men within the USG through strategic interven-tion at both the K-12 and higher education levels,” Perry-Johnson said.“Many devoted persons in the USG have worked diligently underAAMI’s auspices to enhance educational outcomes for these young men.”“Black men are quite capable of academic achievement. But what isneeded is vital direction regarding the road map to college, which manyperceive as a given. For that cohort of society, the road map is not agiven.”

The ramifications of African-American males failing to get a college education go far beyond limiting their individual potential,according to Papp.

A new advocate for Georgia’s African-American men

Betsy Green has beennamed as assistantproject director forthe University Systemof Georgia’s African-American MaleInitiative. The firstfull-time employeededicated to theproject since its inception in 2002, Greenwill be responsible for managing the day-to-day activities and initiatives of theAAMI. Her position is funded by the Boardof Regents of the University System ofGeorgia.

After nearly a decade serving in a key advancement role at SouthernPolytechnic State University, Green hasspent the last seven years working as adevelopment director at the Atlanta head-quarters of Georgia Youth Science &Technology Centers – a private, nonprofiteducational organization.

“We tapped Betsy for this positionbecause of her expertise working with K-12 programs and her solid developmentskills,” said Special Assistant to thePresident for External Affairs ArlethiaPerry-Johnson.

Green’s first order of business is con-ducting a census of programs within theUSG aimed at preparing more African-American males to attend and graduatefrom college.

She also is helping to organize a best-practices conference, which is expected todraw about 250 attendees from aroundthe state to the KSU campus.

Green also will oversee a steering com-mittee that will be responsible for estab-lishing AAMI’s priorities and providingprogram oversight and feedback. In addition, AAMI will launch a new mar-keting initiative, “Million Dollar Player,”this fall.

“So many good things already are hap-pening with the program,” Green said.“I’m looking forward to doing my part tohelp reverse the trend of African-American males not graduating from highschool and going on to college. I want tohelp them succeed.”

“For many reasons, significant numbers of African-American men are notreceiving the education they need to succeed and are in danger of beingunable to fulfill their potential,” Papp stated. “This hurts them as individu-als by limiting their options and undermines the social and economic viability of Georgia and the country.”

In one of its first major activities at the university, the AAMI will host astatewide “Best Practices” conference at KSU November 30 and December 1,to showcase successful and effective strategies that have been used at thestate and national levels to accomplish the program’s goals.

The genesis of the AAMI program can be traced to a USG bench-markinginitiative undertaken in 2001. The system-wide review examined everyaspect of the University System’s performance, from fiscal operations toenrollment data.

“When the enrollment data was scrutinized further, it became clear there were two under-represented groups in the University System: non-traditional students and black males,” Perry-Johnson said. “There wasa disproportionate African-American female-to-male enrollment ratio ofnearly 2 to 1.”

According to fall 2002 enrollment data, African-American women comprised 68 percent of the USG’s black enrollment – 35,873 black femalescompared to 17,068 black males. The question then became: What are the barriers to African-American male enrollment and retention in Georgia’sthen 34 public colleges and universities?

To answer that question, Perry-Johnson formed a 52-member task forcecomprised of state and national higher education and K-12 leaders. Shealso coordinated the collection of extensive qualitative research conducted with the target audience of black males, and quantitative telephone surveys conducted with more than 700 18-to-25-year-old blackmales and key influencers of their educational choices.

Key recommendations resulting from the research study included theneed for: tracking more African-American males into the K-12 college-preparatory curriculum; improved cultural sensitivity training for teachersand guidance counselors; and increasing the number of high-quality teach-ers in hard-to-staff schools where many African-American students attend,among many other findings.

“Black males cannot be competitive in today’s global society if they areeducationally deficient,” Perry-Johnson said. “It is incumbent upon boththe K-12 and higher education systems to leverage their resources toenhance these students’ preparedness for such competition.”

In 2002, when the Board of Regents began this initiative, there werethree self-funded programs at USG schools that focused on the educationalsuccess of black males; now there are more than 20.

Over the past three years, the Board of Regents has invested more than$422,000 in 22 pilot programs, including a $30,000 grant to KSU in 2005 topartner with two Cobb County-area high schools and two communityorganizations. The KSU program, which received the Regents’ largest grant,was designed to improve the college preparedness of students from theparticipating schools and the retention of the university’s African-Americanmale students. The matching grant also funded a learning community forAfrican-American males and helped implement a “Summer Bridge”preparatory program.

In 2006, AAMI also was awarded a two-year $100,000 grant from theLumina Foundation for Education’s McCabe Fund, to further work withblack males.

“The challenge we are addressing via AAMI is an issue of economic viability for our state and the nation,” Perry-Johnson stated.

“For America to have the greatest opportunity for economic success, we need to prepare all of our students and our citizens to be competitive in the global marketplace,” she continued. “Presently, too many African-American males are falling through the cracks of our educational system,and it continues to be a serious issue with long-lasting ramifications.” K
