Male Engagement Center (The MEC)

253-589-5634 |  www.cptc.edu/mec

The Male Engagement Center (MEC), geared toward African American males, provides its members with targeted academic and non-academic supports designed to improve their skill sets, foster a sense of trust and belonging, and build resolve as they pursue a certification or program degree at Clover Park Technical College and beyond.

The MEC uses an evidence-based, data-driven, high-touch approach to design high-impact practices and student-centered support programming for our Black male students' unique needs as we foster a stronger sense of trust and belonging from their first days on campus, through program completion, and into career placement. The center's inclusive excellence framework is divided into five tier categories:

  1. Peer Mentoring and Coaching
  2. MEC Supports and Stewardship
  3. Culturally Relevant Programming
  4. Leadership Development through our Leadership & Legacy U.
  5. Industry and Community Networking

The MEC is located in Building 15.
