Abstract
Issues related to collegiate men of color are a hot topic within higher education. The university experience for men of color has varying themes associated with racism, physical structures and artifacts, family and culture, tokenism, and the cool factor/guilt factor, all of which have intersecting identities that come into play. Through our interactions with men of color at Iowa State University, we will share personal experiences and implications, and have dialogue concerning the future state of men of color at Iowa State University.
