Our primary goal is to collaborate with parents as active participants in their student’s educational journey, providing support, resources, and opportunities for engagement throughout their time at Morehouse.
In our efforts to keep families informed, supported, and engaged regionally, we work closely with the Morehouse College Parents Council (MCPC). The MCPC serves as a vital link between the college and parents, offering guidance, advocacy, and support. More information about the MCPC can be found at MCPC International.
To facilitate communication and engagement, we utilize the Morehouse College’s CampusESP portal for important updates, announcements, and resources tailored to their needs and interests. The Office of Parent Engagement is conveniently located in the Welcome Center, Suite 103, and we welcome parents and families to visit us anytime.
When I arrive for move-in, where should I go?
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
▪ Move-in traffic will be directed to access Wellborn St. via West End Ave. Campus Safety will be visibly directing traffic.
▪ A clearance placard is needed for access to residential houses for move in.
How do I receive a placard?
▪ Fully cleared students will receive their placard via the student outlook email before August 14th. Access to residential houses is gained by showing a valid placard.
▪ Students in need of clearance will utilize the Student Help Center located in the Shirley Massey Executive Conference Center. Once the placard is received, families will be directed to their residential house for move-in.
How do I move in?
▪ Once directed to the residential house, DHRE Staff will facilitate the check-in/move-in process. Be prepared to show your placard to receive your key.
▪ NSO leaders and volunteers will be on hand to assist with moving items into the residential house.
I've moved in, what now?
▪ Students should visit the Kilgore Campus Center Plaza to receive their NSO Welcome Box (Be prepared to show your clearance placard/ID to receive a box)
▪ Be prepared to attend ALL orientation sessions as they are mandatory and enjoy your orientation to Morehouse College!
What should I wear?
▪ For move-in please dress in cool, comfortable clothing.
▪ For orientation sessions, students are to be in dark slacks, button down shirt, tie, and dark dress shoes.
▪ Within your NSO Welcome Box, there is specific attire (Morehouse button down, tie, t-shirts) that will be used throughout the orientation week. The box contains a letter outlining when these items should be worn. NSO leaders will provide reminders throughout the week on what attire is necessary.
7 Habits of Highly Responsible Students
THEY SET GOALS. Goals keep students focused on the future. Goals help students decide on what’s impor tant and what’s not If you have a vision of where you want to go, you’re more likely to get there. Students with goals find it easier to say no to irresponsible behaviors because they are saying yes to their vision of the future.
THEY PLAN THEIR TIME. Responsible people meet their obligations, whether it’s turning in a paper on the day it’s due or having a repor t on the boss’s desk when it’s needed It takes planning (If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.) Use a digital or big calendar to help organize your time. Write down all your commitments and use the calendar to plan time for homework and study each day.
THEY STUDY EVERY DAY. Responsible students set aside time for homework or studying ever y day If there is no homework that day, review your class notes or research additional material in preparation for an upcoming exam. READ! READ! READ!
THEY HAVE THE TOOLS THEY NEED. A carpenter wouldn’t think of showing up without a hammer A nurse always has a stethoscope. A responsible student is always properly prepared for class
THEY TAKE NOTES IN CLASS. Teachers will almost always spell out what they think is impor tant Taking notes while the teacher is talking is a MUST
THEY KEEP THEIR COMMITMENTS. Responsible people honor their commitments They succeed in school by doing their assignments well and on time, and they do their share of group projects Set realistic and attainable commitments to yourself and others and feel the satisfaction that comes from meeting those commitments
THEY GET READY AHEAD OF TIME. Some students star t out ever y morning with a crisis. Yes things happen! But responsible students have learned that being late, or being early, is not something that simply happens; it is a choice they make Take five or 10 minutes before bedtime to get ready for the next day. Pack the bag appropriately. Lay out clothes SET YOUR ALARM! You will soon see that those few minutes will make the mornings easier and help get you to class on time, ready to learn.
Dear Old Morehouse
by J.O.B. Moseley ’29
Dear old Morehouse, dear old Morehouse, We have pledged our lives to thee; And we’ll ever, yea forever Give ourselves in loyalty.
True forever, true forever, To old Morehouse may we be; So to bind each son the other Into ties more brotherly.
Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Make us steadfast, honest, true, To old Morehouse, and her ideals, And in all things that we do.
