Men's Project
The Men's Project is a new leadership initiative on campus that focuses on exploring masculinity and what it means (and should mean) to "be a man." This 10-week program is a great way to learn more about masculinity, the role of gender in society, and how both are related to violence in the community. Participants will meet each Tuesday night to share, discuss, and reflect on "the male experience" at Loyola and will also gain valuable bystander intervention skills to prevent rape and other gender-related violence in the future.
Space is limited, and applications are due Friday, Sept. 4th, 2009. Please turn in applications to Mertz 200 at the Dept. of Student Diversity or e-mail to sclaros@luc.edu. Only undergraduate students identifying as men may apply.
This is a 3hr/wk commitment for 10 consecutive weeks. Meetings start on Tuesdays, Sept. 15th 2009 from 5:30-7:30pm (Location TBA).
Vision
The Men's Project will create lasting and positive change at Loyola and in the world by empowering men to take a stand against rape and other forms of violence in their daily lives.
