LEGACIE+ Events

LEGACIE+ Summer Academy is a dedicated program designed to support first-year college men of color in both academic and personal growth. By providing a welcoming and empowering environment, the program helps students navigate the transition into college life with confidence and purpose. Through a combination of academic enrichment, mentorship, leadership development, and community-building activities, participants gain valuable skills and a strong support network. Summer Academy not only prepares students for academic success but also encourages self-discovery, resilience, and a sense of belonging, laying a strong foundation for their college journey and beyond.

Participants who are selected for this program will get to live on campus at Cal Poly Pomona for 6 days and 5 nights in their First-year Residential Housing Facility. Throughout the week participants will get to experience signature programs, meet with faculty, and learn through interactive sessions on exploring higher education, innovation and entrepreneurship, and career development to name a few. Additionally, participants will take two courses for 6 weeks that will help transition them from High School to College and prepare them for success through their first year.
