The Men of Atlantic Cape (MAC) retention program promotes the advancement of male students. Our goal is to create a community where students can support one another, share experiences and network. The MAC program seeks to enhance qualities for becoming model citizens and leaders of our communities after graduation.
This Program Develops:
• Perseverance • Self-motivation • Community service • Self-empowerment • Academic excellence • Sound decision-making • Leadership Skills
Join us this semester in-person every Wednesday from 12:30-1:45 p.m. in room J-202 on the Mays Landing campus.
We’re not a club, but more like a fraternity or a brotherhood. Some weeks, we discuss hip-hop, society, mental health, or managing school and work. At other times, we meet with faculty members to gain insight into teaching perspectives and techniques for class.
"Men of Atlantic Cape (MAC) was a positive experience in my life. I was able to interact, learn, and develop skills from my peers and advisors. MAC was a safe space for me to share my experiences and learn how others were progressing in their lives and academic journey. Our weekly discussions helped me manage my time, be assertive, engaged and professional, and it helped transform me into a gentleman. MAC is not just a club, it’s a brotherhood."

The Men of Atlantic Cape (MAC) program was started over 25 years ago as a Black male-retention program. Since then it has expanded to include all men. The MAC program has served hundreds of members and proudly supports Atlantic Cape and the local community.
