在过去的15年里，提高黑人男性在大学中的学业成绩和教育经验的努力出现了爆炸性的增长，包括机构，州，系统级和国家计划，政策和行动呼吁。这些努力的关键是建立黑人男性倡议方案，这些方案主要是作为社会凝聚力方案，旨在提高学生的保留率和毕业率。从两个不同的机构的40名黑人男学生的便利样本定性访谈数据，这个项目探讨了他们的参与和经验的BMI计划。首先，我分析了学生的叙述，他们的参与和意义的BMI。我发现，BMI在支持学生通过增加获得社会和文化（社会文化）资本，同时尊重文化财富的学生带来校园发挥了至关重要的作用。其次，我研究了BMI社区的参与如何帮助提高学生的学术经验和自我意识。
Efforts to enhance the academic performances and educational experiences of Black males in college has exploded in the past 15 years, including institutional, state, system-level, and national programs, policies, and calls to action. Key among these efforts is establishing Black Male Initiative (BMI) programs, which primarily are structured as social cohesion programs and intended to increase students’ retention and graduation rates. Using qualitative interview data from a convenience sample of 40 Black male students at two different institutions, this project explores their engagement and experiences in a BMI program. First, I analyze students’ narratives regarding their participation and meaning-making of BMIs. I find that BMIs play a critical role in supporting students through increased access to social and cultural (sociocultural) capital while simultaneously honoring the cultural wealth students bring to campus. Second, I examine how engagement in the BMI community helped enhance students’ academic experiences and sense of self.
