Every year, International Men’s Day (IMD) is celebrated on November 19. This year, Delt is excited to provide educational programming in the days leading up to IMD that focuses on the unique issues that impact men and boys. Topics include masculinity, men’s friendships, mental health, and physical health. We know our members live in a world where the definition of what it means “to be a man” is pretty narrow. Delta Tau Delta wants to change that. 

Join the conversation

Being a man or masculinity has a different meaning depending on who you ask, so we are asking you. Answer one or both of the questions below to join the conversation about men's health. Responses will be used throughout this weeks programs.

International Men's Day Programs

Panel on Men: Monday, Nov. 16, 2020 at 8 PM Eastern

Hosted by Robert Huffman (Florida Atlantic University, 2012) is a development manager for the Movember Foundation. Before working at Movember, Huffman was a founding father for Delta Tau Delta’s Iota Nu chapter at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). While starting the chapter, he helped bring Movember’s moustache movement to his campus in 2009 and eventually the chapter was growing moustaches and raising over $20K annually for Movember and men’s health. Huffman then went on to work five years in aviation finance before he returned to his passion as a full time staff member at Movember and is now focused on bringing men’s mental health to the forefront on college campuses.

Our experts include:
  • Lucas Budler (Wabash College, 2021), the Beta Psi Chapter's undergraduate mental health chairman
  • Rico Francis (Psi Upsilon Fraternity), who founded his own non-profit focusing on education
  • Nate Kern (Boston University, 2018), whose chapter brother died by suicide and who is now training to compete in the IRONMAN triathlon
  • Adam McCreary (Theta Delta Chi Fraternity), who specializes in conversations around masculinity
  • Andrew McElroy (John Carroll University, 2013), who is currently in his medical residence in urology
