El Centro's Men of Distinction (MOD) program began with 18 fellows and mentors eager to take the first steps on their pathways to success. In total, we held six sessions, including MOD Orientation, Navigating Life Challenges and Effective Goal Setting, Developing Your Personal Brand, Preparing for Industry, Communication Excellence and Mid-Year Milestones. Through involvement with MOD, several of our fellows received opportunities to represent, serve and be recognized by El Centro. As we continue with the program, we remain determined to continue the development of our fellows, to seek opportunities for our male students to learn and to empower them to achieve their academic, career and life goals.
