Morris Brown Opens for 2009-2010
School Term
Dr. Stanley Pritchett
Classes begin at Morris
Brown College on
Wednesday, August 26. New
students began arriving on
Sunday, August 17 and
throughout the week; and
registration begins on
Monday, August 24.
“Administrators and
faculty members are busy
with the normal challenges
associated with a new school
year; and, at the same time,
we are thankful to God for
the miracle of another year at
Morris Brown,” said Dr.
Stanley Pritchett, president
of Morris Brown. “This
institution, with all of its
obstacles and set-backs over
the past seven years, is man
aging a resurgence that keeps
the college in the business of
educating young people who
want to learn. We remain
excited and more optimistic
than ever before about our
future,” Dr. Pritchett added.
In addition to the class
es taught on the campus at
Morris Brown, the 2009-
2010 school year presents an
opportunity for the introduc
tion of an online curriculum -
- one of the few HBCU’s that
offers an exclusive online
degree in Organizational
Management and
Leadership.
Earlier this year,
Morris Brown College
announced a partnership
with Education Online
Services Corporation
(EOServe Corp), the nation’s
premier online educational
platform provider.
The online program is
currently a reality at Morris
Brown. Nine faculty mem
bers have been trained for
the e-college platform; and
the goal is to enroll twenty
students for each cohort. A
new cohort will begin every
four weeks.
The EOServe
Corporation partnership also
provides an exceptional
tuition financial aid program
making $5 million available
for funding student loans.
The third phase of the part
nership involves the
Interactive Marketing
Institute (IMI) that has
employed and trained stu
dents and other persons from
the community to work in
the call center located on the
college campus as
Educational Advisors
matching prospective stu
dents with colleges and uni
versity online programs
across the nation.
With the assistance of
the Morris Brown Alumni
Association, the college is
preparing for its “Annual
Walk-A-Thon” on Saturday,
September 12, 2009 at 7:00
a.m.
Morris Brown College
is one of America’s most
prestigious Historical Black
Colleges having been found
ed in 1881.
Morris Brown College has
an aggressive plan for resur
gence of the college with an
infusion of new ideas for
educational programs for a
global market.
