Morehouse College National Alumni Association
When the seeds were planted for Morehouse College in 1867, it was the beginning of a movement that would change the landscape of America. Over the years, Morehouse has borne fruit worthy of the efforts of its founders and its most prized gift to the world is its alumni. So almost 40 years after its founding, a group of graduates met to organize an alumni society. A constitution was adopted, officers were elected and the Morehouse College National Alumni Association was birthed. The association has come a long way since its inception over a hundred years ago! Today, the Association connects Morehouse alumni worldwide who gather together through community service projects, networking opportunities and leisure activities. The Association also funds scholarships and fellowships for outstanding Morehouse students and provides assistance to many campus programs.
