Go to High School, Go to College “Men of Tomorrow” Program.
The Zeta Alpha Lambda Chapter fosters academic scholarship by providing a comprehensive and continuing series of activities for young men (and their parents/guardians) participating in the chapter’s Go-To High School, Go-To College “Men of Tomorrow” program. The activities directly promote academic growth and strengthen the young men in key areas (spiritual, social, physical, financial, relationships, communications, etc.) which are “essential enablers” for academic progress.
The program, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, continues to build on the principles established in its origin. Over 400 young men have successfully completed the program and continued on to pursue degrees and careers in fields such as public administration, computer science, engineering, aviation, physics and law.
