The Network
Mission
The Network supports African American men inside the classroom while offering them peer and professional mentoring, and life skills outside of the classroom. It seeks to cultivate a space for students to be themselves, by promoting, valuing, and celebrating all. We offer initiatives that positively address and impact retention and graduation rates at Wayne State. The majority of the individuals that participate are African American/Black men; however, our learning communities are open all that are interested in being involved.

John Nzasi (he/him)
My name is Quentin Todd, and I am a current sophomore majoring in neuroscience. I am a premedical student planning on being the first doctor in my family. My younger sister has driven my passion for medicine, being born with a heart condition I have seen how hard she continues to fight, and how positively impactful the healthcare team can be in the process. Family is very important to me and plays a huge role in my life. When I am not in the library somewhere studying, I have grown a passion for running and just being outdoors, whether it be hiking with my dog or biking! With my time in The Network, I want to challenge other black men to share their stories to connect with others and overall, with the goal in mind to build a strong community of brothers who want to see each other win!
