LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Counselors and Access Professionals,

On behalf of Morehouse College, I welcome you to our third annual Counselors Symposium. We are honored to have you on campus, and we hope that your experience today will deepen your understanding of Morehouse and its unique impact on higher education.

This symposium offers a rare opportunity to engage with our campus, community, and culture firsthand while explicitly tailored to help you in your unique profession. We encourage you to fully immerse yourself in today’s programming, absorb the information, and take it back to the students and families you serve. By sharing the Morehouse story, you are helping us inspire the next generation of scholars, leaders, and changemakers.

After your time with us today, we ask that you carry Morehouse with you into your classrooms, meetings, conferences, and everyday conversations. Now, more than ever, historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) stand as vital pillars in the pursuit of equity, inclusion, belonging, and diversity, especially at a time when these values face increasing challenges.

Your role as counselors and access professionals is critical to the success of Morehouse and all HBCUs. By sharing our stories, inviting our recruiters to your schools and platforms, and simply “saying our name,” you affirm Morehouse College as a powerful and essential destination for academic rigor, self-discovery, leadership training, and professional

Thank you for your commitment, your partnership, and for being champions of the Morehouse mission. We look forward to a day of insightful discussions, valuable connections, and meaningful engagement.

Sincerely,
