The Past as Prologue: Morgan’s 2011–2021 Strategic Plan

ounded in 1867 by an interracial coalition of ministers of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Morgan State University — Centenary Biblical Institute then — was part of an educational movement in Baltimore City that had begun to move African Americans slowly up the socioeconomic ladder in the late 18th century. By the beginning of the tenure of its 10th president, David Kwabena Wilson, Ed.D., in July 2010, Morgan was a well-set pillar of Baltimore City and the region, having prepared generations of students for careers in critical areas such as education, social work and civic governance and having laid the academic groundwork for many who went on to excel in fields such as medicine and the law. The University’s influence in what is now known as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) had also been growing for decades and had flourished with initiatives such as the founding of the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. School of Engineering in 1984.
