This study, exploration of Black male mentoring on Black Males' retention and graduation at predominately White systemized universities, examines the impact of Black male mentoring relative to the retention and graduation of Black male university students at predominately White systemized universities. It examines Black male mentoring relative to components that affect Black male life events and college experiences. Subsequently, this study addresses implications and solutions to the problem of African American university students not achieving their baccalaureate degrees at predominantly White systemized universities throughout California. The purpose of this narrative inquiry research study is to explore the lived experiences of Black male university students who were mentored by Black male mentors at predominately White systemized universities. Informed by three essential research questions, the study encompasses the use of many methodological tools, including surveys, questionnaires, autobiographies, and the relevancy of the low university retention and graduation of Black male university students at predominately White systemized universities. This narrative inquiry studies twelve former Black male university mentees. These former Black male university mentees graduated between the years of 1963 and 2014 -- a breadth of fifty years (29 yrs-79yrs). Based on five theoretical frameworks: cultural mismatch theory, social identity theory, social capital theory, self-efficacy theory, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the emergent themes are as follows--group interactions, faculty acceptance, sense of belonging, and social connections. The construct of the study asks questions pertinent to Black male university students' perspectives and experiences. Study findings assert that Black male mentoring is an efficacious solution to the problem of African American university students not achieving their baccalaureate degrees at predominantly White systemized universities. However, continued inequalities and inequities necessitate further study. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
