Men's Engagement Center
About the program
The Men's Engagement Center (MEC) enhances the academic, social and professional success of male-identified learners. The goal of MEC is to empower our male-identified learners through meaningful interactions with staff, former participants, introduction to campus resources and mentoring. Additionally, this program provides students with the tools needed to become engaged and successful members of the FIU community.
We encourage Panthers to engage with us through our events and services, which are funded and supported by student fees that have been allocated by the Student Government Association.
Individuals who attend this suite of programs hosted by the Men's Engagement Center will:
- Learn to think critically about male issues and what it means to "be a man"
- Examine the expectations placed on males in our modern society
- Redefine the expectations of the male role in family and social relationships
- Develop positive study techniques, stress management skills and leadership competencies
- Incorporate physical and mental health techniques that bolster student wellbeing
All our services and initiatives are open to all FIU students.
