BLACK MALE #GAINZ: STRENGTHENING OUR SKILLS TO BECOME SUCCESSFUL<br />
MSC 2708<br />
Paul Metellus (pmetellus@usf.edu) & Adler Marchand (amarchand2@mail.usf.edu)<br />
Are you a Black male in need of mentorship and support to maximize your skills and abilities to succeed<br />
in college? The disengagement of Black males is one of the pressing issues in Higher Education. This<br />

experience.<br />
IDENTITY LIMBO: NAVIGATING THE SPACE IN THE MIDDLE<br />
MSC 2709<br />
Junior Peña (jpena2@fsu.edu) & Christian Williams (cawilliams3@fsu.edu)<br />
Are you “caught in the middle?” Do you know someone who is “caught in the middle?” Are you<br />
experiencing difficulty fitting in within the cultural norms of multiple race and ethnicities in America? This<br />
session will educate and provide critical dialogue around identities that do not neatly fit within categorical<br />
boxes and help students to successful navigate their college experience.<br />
SHE SAID WHAT?! RESPONDING WHEN<br />
WELL INTENDED PEOPLE SAY THINGS THEY SHOULDN’T<br />
MSC 3705<br />
Caitlin Jones (caitlinjones@usf.edu)<br />
Has someone who “supports diversity” said something you don’t think is ok? Join a conversation about<br />
approaching diversity conversations from a lens of acknowledging difference in experience based on<br />
personal identity. By exploring ways to frame conversations, name micro-aggressions, and create change<br />
through action, you will leave ready to handle that next “he did not just say that!” moment.<br />
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE: SUSTAINING POSITIVITY IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY<br />
MSC 3707<br />
Rosanna Duran (rduran@usf.edu)<br />
Positive people – those who experience more frequent positive emotions such as joy, gratitude, hope,<br />
or love – are more creative, energetic, engaged, resilient, and productive. In this session we’ll explore<br />
practices to help you cope with setbacks, build resiliency, strengthen your beliefs, and build confidence in<br />
your ability to achieve your dreams.<br />
