The UMLP is focused upon the recruitment, retention, academic success and graduation of students, especially underrepresented Black and Latino males in higher education. The UMLP fulfills its mission to support high achievement through monthly academic intervention and success workshops and leadership development trainings. Furthermore, each interested UMLP student, is presented with an opportunity to participate within Circle of Support Mentorship sessions.
