Men of Character Leadership Symposium

2026 Men of Character Leadership Symposium

 

 

Keynote Speaker - To be Announced

 

Building future leaders

The Men of Character Leadership Symposium (MOCLS) educates, empowers, and engages FIU students to address the needs and issues that are specific to men in higher education and strive for excellence in personal, professional, and academic pursuits. We achieve this by providing our students the opportunity to connect with and learn from their peers, faculty, staff, alumni, and professionals who have navigated through these very issues, while also highlighting their success. The leadership symposium is a unique networking opportunity for participants to learn from each other by participating in panel discussions, working groups, workshops, and networking with professional men of color who are leaders in their respective fields.

The Men of Character Leadership Symposium seeks to:

  • Address the underlying issues that prevent men from succeeding in their academic and professional endeavors.
  • Encourage students to develop a stronger sense of self and assist them in placing their identity in a social, academic, historical, and political context.
  • Inspire students to develop their personal leadership and professional plan of action.
  • Introduce students to professionals who have successfully overcome challenges that prevented them from succeeding.
  • Encourage students to be innovative role models that exemplify their moral character.

This event will feature an inspiring keynote speaker, panel discussions, networking, lunch, and more. RSVP for the Men of Character Leadership Symposium here.
