Alumna Highlights Morgan on Atlanta Children’s Horizon

Morgan State University was a hit with some fortunate kindergarten through grade 5 students in Atlanta, in June, thanks to the efforts of Morgan accounting graduate Arnel Richardson of the Class of 2000. Richardson responded eagerly to a friend’s call for her to speak to four groups of future college students participating in the Horizons summer enrichment program at Atlanta Technical College.

Richardson created a Morgan banner for each student to fill in with color and talked with them on topics including their career aspirations; HBCUs; basic information about Morgan of interest to their age group — the University’s location, mascot, school colors, marching band, academic offerings, athletics, etc.; and the importance of doing well in elementary school to prepare for their college years, which she told them, would come sooner than they expected.

“It was great. It was a great experience. The kids were very engaged. They had a blast,” says Richardson, who is a Higher Education Consultant for her own firm, enrich.ED Consulting LLC, which assists students and their families with the college admissions process. “I’m really glad that I did it.”
