Call Me MISTER® was developed 24 years ago at Clemson University in 2000 through a partnership with Benedict College, Clafflin University, and Morris College. This national, highly-recognized program serves over 43 colleges and universities across 12 states. Dr. Roy Jones, Provost Distinguished Professor, serves as Executive Director of the Call Me MISTER® Program.
Call Me MISTER® is an acronym for Mentors Instructing Students Toward Effective Role-models. Call Me MISTER® and Diverse Male Educators Destined to Teach, Hope, Respond, Inspire, Value, and Empower (THRIVE) are UNTD’s programs to attract diverse males into the teaching profession. With support and partnership of the second largest public school district in Texas, Dallas ISD, UNTD became a national licensed partner for the Call Me MISTER® program Fall 2020.
The goals of UNTD THRIVE and Call Me MISTER® are to: a) help elementary, middle, and high school male students identify teaching as a pathway and enroll in ECHS programs, (b) enroll male high school, early college high schools and associate graduates into bachelor's teacher education programs, and (c) attract professionals into graduate teacher education and certification programs and internships.
Students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate teacher education programs in the Schools of Education and Liberal Arts and Sciences at The University of North Texas at Dallas are eligible to participate.
UNTD THRIVE and Call Me MISTER® programs support the following UNTD strategic planning goals.
- Goal 1: Academic Distinction
- Goal 2: Student Access and Success
- Goal 5: Community Partnerships
