Call Me MISTER

Call Me MISTER (acronym for Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models), first developed at Clemson University, now operates on over 20 colleges in South Carolina, with national partner schools in nine other states. The project is designed to expand the pool of male teachers with diverse backgrounds. Participants, who are recruited from underserved, at-risk communities, receive financial aid to tuition; academic, social, and cultural support during their preparation; and assistance in obtaining employment after graduation.
