 In partnership with the Black Cultural Center, we are excited to bring back the barbershop with our free haircut and community dialogue event, Barber Talks. 

This unique initiative offers a safe and inclusive environment where men, specifically men of color, can engage in open and meaningful community discussions and receive a free haircut from local professionals.

Ephraim Kum, program coordinator at the Black Cultural Center, touches on low retention and enrollment rates and discusses how initiatives like “Barber Talks” can help address these issues.

“The Male Success Initiative (MSI), a program out of the Black Cultural Center, aims to support the belonging and success of male-identifying students, with an emphasis on men of color,” said Kum.

“At the University of Utah, and across the nation, enrollment, retention, engagement, and graduation rates of men of color have been disproportionally low. The Male Success Initiative works to address these issues through events and collaborations such as ‘Barber Talks.'”

The program, seeks to broaden access to wellness resources and facilitate conversations surrounding mental well-being by hosting dialogues about pertinent issues, including “Finding Resilience through Rap” and “Masculinity and Wellness.”
