Name:
Michael A. Davenport
Title:
Transportation Manager
Hometown:
Atlanta
Tenure at Morehouse:
17 months
Something not commonly
known about Michael:
Michael was a church musi
cian for 29 years, mainly as
a drummer for Cobb Christian
Ministries, his church in Atlanta.
He played on a CD that the choir
recorded several years ago.
I maintain all of the Morehouse vehicles, which include 43 golf carts, one
motor coach and 26 other vehicles, mainly other cars, trucks and vans. For
various departments, I help in the transportation scheduling for their trips and
events, and I make sure that the College is working with outside transportation
vendors that who have safety ratings of superior or better.
A big part of my job is transporting faculty, staff and students. I manage a
crew of two Morehouse drivers and 10 temporary professional drivers. That crew
will pick up people, transport students, cheerleaders, sports teams, the Board of
Trustees and organizations like our debate team on out-of-town trips.
What I love about this job is working with the people. Anytime I can help young
men who are striving to better themselves through education, it really gives me a
lot of satisfaction. That was one of the main drawing cards for me in coming to
Morehouse. As an Atlanta University Center graduate (Clark Atlanta University),
this was something that I knew I wanted to do—come back to the AUC and help
young men. •)1
