Men of Distinction
Building Futures, Breaking Barriers, and Cultivating Excellence
Program Overview
The Tacoma Community College “Men of Distinction” (MOD) initiative is a co-curricular experience that fosters leadership, nurtures professional and personal development, and is a support network for its male and non-binary students. In scholarly pursuit, members and mentors learn from one another by promoting self-efficacy, academic excellence, career aspirations, and a sense of community.
The MOD program will support students by providing skill-building workshop series, cultivating experiences to help students develop a sense of belonging, host opportunities for family and community involvement, and providing resources and networks that support the longevity of their success.
As the first in my family to attend college, navigating this new world was daunting. However, with the support of the MOD program staff and fellow students, the process became significantly more accessible and less intimidating. I thrived in an environment where I initially felt out of place, and the mentorship and resources provided by MOD were crucial in preparing me for higher education.”
