DISCO Network Presents: Black Boys and the Future of Technology

University of Michigan undergraduate and graduate students are invited to enjoy coffee and conversation with the panelists of "Black Boys and the Future of Technology." This informal coffee hour is a unique opportunity to connect with the speakers, learn more about their work and research, and engage in meaningful conversation. Coffee and pastries will be provided. 

Can technology improve the lives of Black boys? Recently, new reports, with familiar conclusions, discuss the way Black boys continue to fall behind, which is partially responsible for shrinking enrollments of Black men in college. Particularly striking are the declining numbers at HBCUs. In turning this conversation away from negative reporting toward positive action, we will explore the ways technology can intervene and provide new opportunities, pathways, and platforms for Black boys to thrive.

This panel conversation is open to the public, and we encourage all interested faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students to attend. 

Refreshments will be provided for the first 100 attendees.
