Three 好色先生TV students are having the opportunity of a lifetime this year participating in the first-ever cohort of Atlanta college students in the national Institute for Responsible Citizenship (IRC).<\/p>\n

\"Chief
Darlington Edem ’26, Braelin Francis ’26 and John Louis-Ugbo ’24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The OU students were\u00a0<\/strong>Darlington Edem<\/strong>, a first-year business administration major from Calabar, Nigeria;\u00a0Braelen Francis<\/strong>, a first-year business major from Prattville, Ala.; and John Louis-Ugbo<\/strong>, a junior psychology major from Decatur, Ga.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a part of the cohort of IRC scholars means getting the opportunity to meet like-minded students from all over Atlanta,\u201d Louis-Ugbo said. \u201cWith this institute of young African American men like me, we are given the opportunity to represent our universities and gain much needed guidance from speakers and mentors excelling in their careers. As a scholar we have made a commitment to take advantage of opportunities and leave the door open for each other and those that will come after us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Founded in 2003, the IRC\u2019s mission is to prepare the nation\u2019s best and brightest African American male college students to use their extraordinary talents to serve others. In 2016, IRC began its Collegiate Institute program, which is offered in Charlotte, N.C.; Greensboro, N.C.; Durham, N.C.; New York, N.Y.; and now Atlanta.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis experience will impact me for life,\u201d Francis said. \u201cThe Institute is filled with driven young brothers like me who are going to go far in life. So now I have people I can call my brothers and business partners for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Collegiate Institute sessions take place on five Saturdays per semester and consist of professional development workshops, private meetings with their city\u2019s public and private sector leaders, and bonding activities with the other young men in the cohort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe extent of the network I made in just a few weeks was mind-blowing,\u201d Edem said. \u201cFrom training sessions on ethics and morals to being mentored by successful prominent industry leaders in Atlanta, this is an experience that would help you become a better version of yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Students interesting in applying in the next cohort should visit IRC\u2019s website<\/a> or contact Dr. Leroy Carson<\/a>, Oglethorpe’s faculty advisor for IRC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":78,"featured_media":75816,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"categories":[4563,4565],"tags":[301,3216,3842],"news_category":[],"class_list":["post-75813","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-engagement","category-news","tag-civic-engagement","tag-diversity","tag-institute-for-responsible-citizenship"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nOU students have life-changing experience in Institute for Responsible Citizenship\u2019s first-ever Atlanta cohort -
