2025 Open House Program

MESSAGE FROM OUR TEAM

It is my honor to welcome you to Morehouse College. Open House is an essential step in exploring what could be one of the most transformative journeys of your life. Today, you stand on sacred ground. For more than 158 years, Morehouse has shaped leaders of distinction, men of disciplined minds, compassionate hearts, and a commitment to service, excellence, and impact. You will feel that spirit as you walk this historic campus.

This visit is designed to help you do more than see Morehouse - you will experience it. Throughout the day, you will meet members of our world-class faculty, connect with current students, gain insight into our admissions and financial aid process, explore our academic programs and student life, and discover why Morehouse continues to be the nation’s premier institution dedicated to the development of Black men.

During your time here, I encourage you to ask questions, be curious, and imagine what it would feel like to call this campus home. Whether your interests are in business, science, social justice, media, technology, or the arts, you will find a community here that will challenge you, uplift you, and prepare you for purposeful leadership in a global society.

Morehouse is not just a college; it is a brotherhood, a legacy, and a calling. Our mission is deeply personal: to develop men with disciplined minds to lead lives of leadership and service. If you are driven by ambition, grounded by character, and fueled by purpose, you may soon find yourself among the next generation of Morehouse Men who change the world.

On behalf of our President, faculty, staff, students, and alumni across the globe, we extend a warm welcome. We are honored that you are considering Morehouse College, and we look forward to helping you discover your path from aspiration to achievement. Enjoy your visit, and we hope to welcome you into the Morehouse family.

With warm regards,

Paula Resley Chief Brand Officer & Vice President Marketing, Communications & Admissions Morehouse College
