The Muhammad Ali Center Experience for Colleges and Universities is designed to build community, respect, purpose, and resilience for incoming first-year students. Through a common experience and robust curriculum, students are introduced to Muhammad\u2019s life and legacy, while engaging with the principles and practices of social justice. In addition, the program provides the opportunity for students to explore their own identities and core values. While exploring Muhammad\u2019s life and legacy, students are asked to contemplate \u201cHow do your skills and passions align with your purpose as an engaged member of your college or university?\u201d. Our program is uniquely set up to center a sense of community in a student\u2019s approach to decision-making, major exploration, and campus involvement, with the long-term goals of increasing student retention and persistence to graduation.<\/p>\n

Program Components include:<\/h5>\n

Common Experience:<\/strong> The program begins with an orientation experience at the Muhammad Ali Center. This experience focuses on employing Muhammad\u2019s narrative to learn about social justice, the important role of community, and introduces students to his six core principles. Replacing or enhancing the \u201ccommon reading\u201d model, this portion of the program allows students to build shared language and understanding through a shared experience and community-building workshop.<\/p>\n

Curriculum:<\/strong> The Muhammad Ali Center for Humanity and Justice has developed a curriculum centered on community-engaged scholarship that explores Muhammad\u2019s legacy through the lens of his six core principles. This curriculum employs critical conscious pedagogy to situate learners as experts of their own experience and provides opportunities for learners to include those experiences throughout the learning process. The Center\u2019s curriculum development team will assist in amending desired elements to fit the learning outcomes of the university\u2019s larger first year experience program.<\/p>\n

Reflection and Dialogue:<\/strong> The program provides students with opportunities for reflection and dialogue, such as regular discussion groups and reflective writing assignments. These activities can help students process their experiences and develop a deeper understanding of their own responsibility and place in the community.<\/p>\n

Faculty & Staff Training:<\/strong> Prior to and during implementation, the Center\u2019s curriculum team will provide training and support for faculty and staff associated with the project.<\/p>\n

The Association for Teaching Black History in Kentucky<\/h5>\n

The Muhammad Ali Center is a proud founding member of the Association for Teaching Black History in Kentucky. This collaborative effort is in partnership with founding member organizations: Berea College, Kentucky State University, and the Thomas D. Clark Foundation. The Association was organized in 2022 to recover the social, historical, and cultural contributions of Black Kentuckians and to make these materials readily available to teachers in the Commonwealth, thereby promoting quality K-12 instruction in history. The goal is to ensure an inclusive, respectful experience for all students that provides for their academic success.<\/p>\n

The work of the Association is to equip educators to teach a nuanced view of history so that students can learn, grow, and face the issues of the day in their appropriate historical context. Further, educators require tools to help them navigate teaching these complex concepts in a way that ensures the full participation of all students at a developmentally appropriate level. The Association seeks to provide teachers at the primary, secondary, and higher education levels with academic lessons, presentations, and tools to present black Kentuckians\u2019 full, diverse, and multi-faceted experience.<\/p>\n

Our evaluation of this comprehensive program has shown success and efficacy in building student resilience, cultivating an inclusive campus community, fostering respect for diversity, and promoting student sense of purpose.<\/p>\n
