MOCI - Promoting Excellence in Education

What Is the Purpose of MOCI?

The purpose of MOCI is to assist Daytona State College in the implementation of its retention goals by increasing the number of men of color retained each semester. This program offers activities and supportive services to address the academic and personal development of men of color.

 Our Values
