Blank Rome Partner James J. Barnes will be the sole speaker at Community College of Allegheny County’s Men of Merit Initiative Speaking Series event on Thursday, September 6, 2018, at 3:00 p.m.

The Men of Merit Initiative is a student program that focuses on increasing the retention, campus/community engagement, and academic success of male students of color. The program is open to all CCAC students and is a collaborative effort with the Achieving the Dream National Reform Network. Biweekly meetings are held to help mentors provide support and endow students with critical insight on how to persevere, overcome barriers, and achieve academic and life success as African-American males in the 21st century.
