Contact: Rhonda Higgs, (404) 215-2686 or rhonda. higgs@morehouse.edu Name: Renee Grier-Calhoun Title: Administrative Assistant, Science and Mathematics Hometown: Charlotte, N.C. Tenure at Morehouse: 14 years (8 in current office) Something not commonly known about Renee: She has written five children’s books based on the adventures of an elephant named Poppo. She also is writing an autobiography. ^ lam the first person you see when you walk into this office. I meet everyone from campus visitors on tours, to students, to faculty members. So I’m the greeter for this office, which really isn t something that s hard for me. I spend most of my time keeping up with Dean John Haynes’ meetings, his travels, correspondence, requests for letters of recommendation, classes and his mentoring of students. I make sure he has his schedule and that he follows it. I really love interacting with students because they bring a wealth of diversity and intelligence from every realm that you can think of. Most of these young men are medical school-bound, so they have a huge challenge, as their program is extremely rigorous. So students really need men toring, not just during midterms or finals, but every day.
