Byron Hughes: Creating a Culture of Connection for Men at Virginia Tech University

How do we encourage healthy masculinity in an organization the size of Virginia Tech, which serves 34,000 students? Byron Hughes, Dean of Students at Virginia Tech, and his team are addressing this fundamental question. The answer? You do it one conversation at a time. Hughes and his team are creating an organizational culture of connection that is interwoven into the mission and goals of the university. Virginia Tech's model is a blueprint for humanizing workplaces everywhere. *** Join us for powerful conversations with the men and women leading the healthy masculinity movement. For generations, our culture has taught us a narrow and limiting set of rules for how to be a man. The end result? Epidemic levels of isolation and violence for boys and men and for the multitude of others who’s lives we impact. But we can make a difference choice. We can choose a masculinity of connection and in return have healthier relationships, and more meaningful, lasting lives. As a writer, speaker and consultant, Mark Greene has spent over a decade deconstructing our binary-riddled dialogues around manhood and masculinity. He consults to organizations world wide on diversity, inclusion and masculinity. Mark is the author of The Little Book for Men, Remaking Manhood and is co-author with Dr. Saliha Bava of The Relational Book for Parenting.
