Student African American Brotherhood (SAAB) aims to increase the number of African American and Latino men that graduate from college by creating a positive peer community based on a spirit of caring. SAAB operates through student run chapters on college campuses, and more recently high schools, throughout the United States. SAAB aims to help its members excel academically, socially, culturally, spiritually and in the community. SAAB has grown to more than 100 chapters across college campuses and high schools throughout the United States and founded in 1990 has reached a critical juncture in its development. SAAB News July, 2008 - SAAB is pleased to announce the support of a $725,000 grant received from Lumina Foundation for Education to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the SAAB program. SAAB will be partnering with the OMG Center for Collaborative Learning, a non-profit consulting firm based in Philadelphia, to conduct the evaluation. OMG will partner with SAAB to build a system to evaluate the program’s effectiveness. OMG will evaluate the program’s impact on college access and student success in its chapters and work with SAAB to increase its capacity to collect data for the assessment of program effectiveness on an ongoing basis. “An evaluation system will provide us with critical data to help us understand our program’s effectiveness” says Dr. Tyrone Bledsoe, SAAB’s founder and executive director. “Armed with that understanding, we can make more informed decisions about programming and chapter work and can share the results of the SAAB work with stakeholders, such as funders, universities and other key partners, and researchers in the field.” For more information, contact Dr. Bledsoe at 419.530.3221 or tbledsoe@saabnational.org. SAAB is proud to contribute to the following release:
