Abstrakt:	National data indicate minority males are graduating from college at significantly lower rates than Caucasian males and females. To increase matriculation and graduation rates of African American males enrolled at its institutions, the University System of Georgia (USG) implemented the African American Male Initiative (AAMI) Program. As part of this program, a southeastern university created the African American Male Initiative Learning Community (AAMI-LC) as a strategy to retain African American males through the critical first year of college. The purpose of this action research study was to systematically investigate the success of this program. In particular, this research highlights variables relating to satisfaction levels and perceived needs of students participating in the AAMI-LC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
