Fatherhood remains an underexamined topic within higher education, particularly when viewed through the experiences of fathers themselves. As faculty and staff welcome new additions to their families, they navigate evolving personal roles as spouses and parents while simultaneously managing shifting expectations in their professional responsibilities and their engagement with students. These dynamics are even more complex for fathers of color, whose experiences are shaped by intersecting racial and gender identities that influence both their personal lives and their professional trajectories. To better provide voice to this topic, we are hosting a panel of fathers of color working in higher education, facilitated by Dr. Adrian H. Huerta, Associate Professor of Education at USC Rossier School of Education.
 
This webinar is presented by the Coalition on Men & Masculinities (CMM), in collaboration with the Asian Pacific American Network (APAN), the Indigenous Student Affairs Network (ISAN), the Native American Indigenous Coalition (NAIC), the Multiracial and Transracial Adoptee Network (MTAN), the Pan African Network (PAN), the Latinx Network (LN), and the Coalition on Multicultural Affairs (CMA).
