Four people stand indoors holding maroon MCLIC T-shirts in front of a large MCLIC banner and a table with additional shirts and signs.

M-CLIC is a university-wide initiative designed to engage and foster a stronger sense of community and support for men of color, and is open to all students.

CLIC-N-CUTZ Barbershop Series, our signature event, provides a monthly space for students to meet and gain fellowship. Beyond free haircuts and refreshments in a comfortable environment, group discussions address trending topics and critical issues affecting men of color while brainstorming effective solutions to counteract some of their daily stresses.

If you are interested in learning more about M-CLIC and getting involved, you can speak with program director Greg Thomas.
