The gap is solvable, and you do not have to close it alone
Across the country, HEMAC partners are working the same problem from different angles. Joining HEMAC connects you to what they have already learned and what they are testing now, and what we are seeking to grow. You get research translated for practice rather than publication, and a clearer read on your own numbers. It is a faster path to address male achievement gaps, particularly for Black and Latino men, through a field that is still taking shape.
Partner expectations
We welcome institutions and organizations that are ready to do this work together. HEMAC partnership is built on active engagement, shared learning, and a collective commitment to expanding opportunity for men in higher education.
U.S.-based accredited colleges, universities, or nonprofit organizations with a mission aligned to student success
Two identified campus leads (administrators, faculty, or program directors) committed to championing this work, along with contacts for additional colleagues across student affairs, academic affairs, admissions, and related areas who are interested in research on boys and men in higher education.
Active participation in the HEMAC network, including events, virtual gatherings, and shared learning opportunities
A demonstrated commitment to improving outcomes for male students through an additive, non-zero-sum approach to equity, expressed both on campus and in what the institution contributes back to the field.
