Myers, Fla. “Part of our education mission is to expose our young men to opportunities that exist beyond their everyday experiences. College tours provide these young men with an opportunity to experience education at the next level. Many are impressed by the diversity, amenities and the freedoms that college life presents. It makes them want to attend college which in turn increases their drive to succeed.”– 100 Black Men of Greater Fort Lauderdale President Dennis Wright.
