Freshman black men return to campus at a rate much lower than their peers. In 2017, the retention rate for African-American males was 54 percent, compared to 63 percent African-American females, 66 percent white males and 76 percent white females. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The goal of the program is to improve the student\u2019s university experience by pairing them with a peer mentor who is an upperclassman. CROWN will also seek to improve the students\u2019 time at the university through on-campus events and special sessions that provide resources and information on how to navigate their freshman year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThere\u2019s a gap between our freshmen black men who aren\u2019t student-athletes and the rest of their peers in terms of returning year-to-year and eventually earning their degree,\u201d says Dr. Sean Chadwell, CROWN administrator. \u201cThis program aims to help them be more successful in the classroom, as well as build a network of support on campus. Ideally, these students will return to campus the next year and be mentors to the next group.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Incoming freshman will have the ability to sign up for the program. From there, the students will be matched with a black male upperclassman who will serve as a peer mentor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cMentors are there to show them the ropes around campus, help them avoid pitfalls and provide a level of accountability,\u201d said Farren Clark, instructor of speech and CROWN mentor coordinator. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/crown\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">https:\/\/www.nicholls.edu\/crown<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">June 7, 2018<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>CONTACT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jacob Batte, Media Relations and Publications Coordinator,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">985.448.4141<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">jacob.batte@www.nicholls.edu<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THIBODAUX, La. &#8212; Nicholls State University has announced the creation of a program aimed at improving retention and graduation rates of undergraduate black male students.
