MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to Morehouse College. It is an honor to have you with us today for our 2024 Open House. This bi-annual occasion is one where we share a preview of the spirit of our beloved institution to the potential next generation of trailblazers and changemakers of the College.
Morehouse College stands as more than just a historically Black higher education institution—this is a place where minds are sharpened, character is cultivated, and lifelong bonds are formed. Our rich legacy of developing men who lead with integrity, intellect, and purpose is why Morehouse remains the premier choice for those who seek to shape their futures and influence the world around them.
Today, you will experience firsthand the unique academic, cultural, and social fabric that defines Morehouse. You’ll have the opportunity to meet our world-class faculty and staff, engage with current students, and tour our campus—one that has been home to many of the world’s most transformative leaders. You’ll see why our commitment to intellectual rigor, social justice, and community remains as strong as ever.
As you immerse yourself in the vibrant environment that makes Morehouse distinct, we encourage you to ask questions, explore your passions, and envision yourself as part of the next chapter of this storied institution. Here, we believe that every Man of Morehouse is called to greatness, and we are here to help guide you.
Thank you for considering Morehouse College as the next step in your academic and personal growth. We look forward to showing you how you belong in the rich tapestry of Morehouse Men who have come before you.
Warm regards,
David A. Thomas, Ph.D. 12th President of Morehouse College
