Making Men of Consequence

“WE MUST REMEMBER THAT INTELLIGENCE IS NOT ENOUGH. INTELLIGENCE PLUS CHARACTER— THAT IS THE GOAL OF TRUE EDUCATION.”

REV. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR., PH.D. ’48

For more than 155 years, Morehouse College has been at the forefront of transformational change, developing enterprising men who use their influence to defy the mainstream and improve society. Buoyed by an educational experience like no other, the Morehouse Man is one of distinction, equipped with a social conscience, a global perspective, a moral compass, and the courage and drive to change the world. Never complacent, Morehouse has always challenged us to be ever better. With our society facing a future marked by unprecedented change and never-before-seen challenges, Morehouse finds itself presented with both an opportunity and a responsibility to evolve. The times—and a world in dire need of the visionary thought leadership that can only be found at Morehouse—demand it. To address the complexities of the 21st century and beyond, we must honor our abiding principles while striking out in bold, new directions. To continue our rich legacy of excellence, we must embrace change with daring and vision. To carry on our storied history of thinking big, we must push the boundaries. We must reimagine the Morehouse experience, while sustaining our unchanging mission to make Men of Consequence.
