Resource Center (LRC)
Hometown: Atlanta
Tenure at Morehouse: 9 years
Something not commonly
known about Anita:
“I am a product of Atlanta. I
am a product of a Morehouse
Man and a Spelman woman. I
was taught from birth to follow
my passion, and that's why I’m
always happy.”
Everybody knows my ridiculous passion for Douglass Hall. For me, its about the students, and the
LRC is a service for students. It s important that we catch up with our students and catch up with technology.
Students have had technology their whole lives. We have to be in there with them. We are keeping up now,
and were even going to go further. Our sign-in sheet shows that we’ve had 2,600 users in the computer lab.
We have new printers—four in all, and one is wireless.
My big goal was to refresh the LRC. It needed to have open access, and I want students to feel welcome
here. The LRC provides resources to students so that they are able to study in a safe environment It is a base for
students to meet-peer tutors, math tutors, chemistry tutors, foreign language tutors meet here. We hold financial
aid forums, and the SGA holds forums. And I’m always looking to what I can do next to make it better. I dream
of ways to do things better. I’m so used to creating things out of nothing. I’m known for that I believe if you give
someone something and they am take it further—that’s what it’s all about If we don’t give students that, we’re in
a whole lot of trouble. Be kind to our students and give them what they need to navigate through life. •)
