The Vision and Mission of the Network of Black Men
The vision of the Network is committed to cultivating, fostering, and developing a thriving community for members in an environment of inclusion, support, and zeal. We further seek to confront the issues and challenges faced by members through intellectual discourse, involvement, and action.  Our mission is to improve the recruitment, and educational attainment of new and current students.  In addition, NBM seeks to establish and sustain meaningful partnerships with the academy.
