Since the start of the program, the retention rate for Black men at UAB has increased significantly. Nore Hodge credits it for helping him succeed. “You are who you keep around, and I loved who was around me,” Hodge said. “And that kind of helped propel me: ‘OK, this is something I want to keep participating in.’” Hodge, who will graduate April 30, has been awarded the group’s highest honor: the Green Blazer of Excellence.
