Men of Distinction Academy

Men of Distinction (MOD) at SUNY Delhi is a program designed to empower male-identifying students to embrace leadership, foster resilience, and build community. Through mentorship, personal growth, and open dialogue, MOD challenges members to navigate systemic barriers, strengthen their identities, and pursue excellence in academics, careers, and life.

We cultivate a supportive network that encourages accountability, compassion, and integrity while creating space to honor diverse experiences and perspectives. By engaging with mentors, guest speakers, and peers, students develop the tools to lead lives of purpose and impact.

MOD Activities Include:

• Mentorship: Members work with a community leader for personal and professional guidance and support.
• Speaker Series: Each semester MOD hosts a public talk featuring professionals from different backgrounds who share their personal journeys, challenges, and successes.
• Workshops & Trainings: Participate in Solid Ground Sessions that focus on leadership, professional development, identity, and navigating systemic barriers.
• Cultural & Social Events: Participate in events and outings that foster bonding and community.

The MOD Academy is not a club, it is a developmental pathway where members join as Inductees and progress through milestones until completion. To participate in or learn more about Men of Distinction, please fill out this interest form.

If you choose not to participate as a full member of MOD, you are still welcome to attend some of its activities which will be posted on BroncoConnect.
