Name: Jamal Pearce
Title: Lab Coordinator
for the Learning
Resource Center
at Douglass Hall
Tenure at Morehouse:
30 months
Something not commonly known about Jamal:
Jamal is a USA Masters Track and Field athlete,
participating in indoor and outdoor meets. He is
Georgia's reigning 100-meter dash champion in
the men's 30-34-year old age group.
I’m responsible for all of the technology
in Douglass Hall, as far as implementing,
repairing, diagnosing and just making sure
everything is maintained correctly. If there is
a problem with the computer or there are
other technology issues, I resolve them or for
ward them to the Information Technology
department for further repair. If students
have any problem with software or computers,
I’m here to help them out as far as that.
We also work with the faculty, as far as
presentations such as Powerpoint or slide
shows, and we have documents on file for stu
dents to use for their studies. We keep them in
archives here. A lot of times we get requests
from professors for articles that we then find
in the archives and give them to the students
as study materials.
One thing I like about this job is I’ve got
ten to come back to the Atlanta University
Center, as I went to Clark Atlanta University
from 1992 to 1997. But I get to interact with
students and get a chance to give back to them
and impact their lives. A lot of times, they
don’t understand that someone has experi
enced the same things that they are experienc
ing. I like giving back to them by sharing my
experience and help them as far as what
they should and shouldn’t do.
