SMARTT
Name: Shiekgo Carter
Title: Support Services Coordinator
Hometown: Atlanta, GA
Tenure at Morehouse: 12 years
Something not commonly known about Shiekgo:
She is a huge fan of singer Prince and has at least
twice been on stage at
concerts and danced with him.
“When faculty, staff and students are ready
to have an event in one of the campus’ facilities,
they call us or me, i.e., needing tables, chairs,
audio visual equipment. It means whatever
items are required, I have to set them up. I have
to have it all ready for the event and make sure
everything is working properly for the duration
of the event. With students, that means sitting
down with them and going over how they
should do the event and advising them about
what they need to do to have a successful event.
But I always say were the first ones here and
then the last ones to leave.
“What I like the most about this department
- besides James Smartt and my great co-workers
- is you are involved in a lot of different things
and events. In other words, I’m in the middle of
everything. Every day is different and I never
know when I walk on this campus each day
what I’ll be into. Something is always
going on.
(About being involved as an advisor for
many student activities and other functions
across campus) “The students, they are like my
energy. They are funny. But I just like being in
volved. Everybody around here knows I have a
lot of energy and know that I’ll get a lot done.
“Oh, my name. Everyone asks. All I know is
it s Japanese and it doesn’t mean much —
I looked it up. My mother said she was watching
a beauty pageant show and one of the
contestants was named Shiekgo.” ■
