Welcome from The President

Dear New Morganite:
I am delighted that you have chosen Morgan state University. Your matriculation at this University is the first step on the journey to your future. Morgan takes the "village" approach in its nurturing environment. We are serious about preparing our students , the future citizens of the world, and strive to graduate community-minded people who are passionate and committed agents of change.

At Morgan, you will experience great personal and intellectual growth as we inspire new thoughts and ideas and shape new perspectives. We are a dynamic, growing institution that embraces the positive changes that define high-quality education. We will, without exception, continue to offer you the caliber of facilities, service and curricula that have always defined our preeminence.

The faculty and staff at Morgan endeavor to create an ideal environment for your growth and to cultivate a closely-knit undergraduate population. They work together constantly to improve not only quality of education, but also student life and student services. In addition, because we are a diverse community with faculty, staff and students from all over the world (at least fifty countries are represented), we contribute to a vibrant cultural atmosphere. This diversity creates a social and economic environment that reflects the gender, racial, cultural, ethnic and economic diversity of our society.

Morgan's Center for Career Development works efficiently and diligently to provide students with internships and job opportunities among other things. Their mission is to assist undergraduate and graduate students of all class levels, as well as degree-holding alumni, in their determination of a major course of study, in the choice of a career direction or pursuit of graduate education. Each year, they provide career related opportunities to our students and many graduating students. Through their efforts, many students accept well-paying jobs in the professions while others attend graduate school.

Once again, I am quite excited that you chose Morgan to embark on one of the most important journeys of your life. I extend my best wishes to you as you begin fulfilling your career goals.

Sincerely,
Earl S. Richardson, President
