The Transforming and Impacting Undergraduate Men Pursuing Higher Education (TRIUMPH) is a student focused action program addressing challenges that male students of color face as they navigate college academically and socially. The goal is to establish trust in order for them to tell their story and triumph towards success. The TRIUMPH Program for Male students of color empowers students by providing increased academic, personal and professional support through mentoring and other services.
TRIUMPH students are called scholars. Each scholar will be paired with a mentor either from the community or from Waubonsee faculty/staff. They are required to spend one hour per week engaging with their mentor. All scholars are issued a journal to document their continued growth in and outside of the program. The goal is to help male students of color realize and understand their potential and goals despite perceived social and cultural barriers. Students are invited to workshops that discuss topics such as time management, conflict resolution, financial literacy and much more.
