The MPAACT project is a collaborative effort across several universities in the UNC system to increase the success of African American males in introductory math courses. This talk will discuss the design of the project, including advising, mentoring, and corequisite support courses for introductory math classes. We will also discuss preliminary findings from data collected from the students and instructors of the support courses. Finally, we will share some challenges faced and lessons learned during the implementation.
