Student participants from the 2015 Gentlemen’s Institute<\/p><\/div>\n

Through\u00a0interactive large and small group sessions such as an intense workout session facilitated by UTC\u2019s Campus Recreation, a high-ropes course, discussion of \u201cgarage\u201d topics, wellness breaks, and a bonfire pinning ceremony, participants identified their personal core values for decision making; debated and applied concepts of leadership; shared personal experiences; and had conversations on the expectations of men on a college campus. Over 125 student participants and peer facilitators have completed this Institute since the initial one in September 2012.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s participant application was open to all students who identified as males, not just first-year or second year students. The peer facilitator application was only open to upperclassmen, but previous attendance at the Gentlemen\u2019s Leadership Institute was not required. The Office of the Dean of Students believes that these changes provided a more diverse range of age, background, campus involvement, experiences, perspectives, beliefs, and identities that helped create the dialogue and content of the weekend. Fifty-six students applied on OrgSync to be either a student participant or peer facilitator.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to the below 18 student participants and eight peer facilitators who completed this year\u2019s Institute. The Office of the Dean of Students would also like to thank staff members Bradley Bell, Daniel Grzesik, and Jared Wenger for making this program happen.<\/p>\n
