The Male Success Alliance (MSA) mission is to improve access, retention and graduation rates of young men of color at CSUDH. MSA offers academic support, personal and professional development and mentoring. Through creating a culture of brotherhood, integrity and perseverance MSA positively impacts the lives of the young men. Fueled by the notions of consciousness, competence and commitment, MSA strives to:

• Effectively guide and support students through their college experience, in order to improve retention and graduation of men of color at CSUDH.
• Prepare students for professional, career, and graduate school opportunities.
• Collaborate with students, campus, and external partners to cultivate community and civic engagement.
• Encourage identity exploration and holistic development through cultural affirmation and “brave space” communities.

Information Sessions

Our information sessions serve as an opportunity for students to learn about MSA, meet current MSA members and begin the membership process. 

General Body Meetings

Meeting topics include leadership, social justice, and personal and professional development. Keynote speakers and campus guests lead GBMs through dialogue and reflection.

Student Success Seminars

Workshop topics include exploring campus resources, career preparation, and preparation for life after Dominguez Hills. Working collaboratively with campus partners, Student Success Seminars serve as a workshop space for students to proactively build skills for academic success.

Community Gatherings

MSA Community Gatherings are held on select Saturday mornings throughout the academic year. Our Community Gatherings focus the Male Success Alliance vision, culture, and rituals by honoring our chapter and local Los Angeles histories. Our Community Gatherings help our students build a sense of belonging and encourage identity exploration.
