“Building a stronger foundation, for future generations, 
through brotherhood and education.”

Founders of Men Integrated in Brotherhood (MIB):

Nigel Smith

Richard Booth

The purpose of this group is to give support, show respect, and create a sense of brotherhood with minority men on this campus. As young men we are trying to build a strong community. It is our responsibility to increase the pride, the cultural awareness of minorities on campus, building a family atmosphere for all men through with we can grow mentally, physically and spiritually. As students we are representing not just ourselves but our families, friends, communities and future generations through involvement in surrounding communities and campus activities. We intend to promote our group's ideas and goals. We are building a foundation for future generations through brotherhood and education.
