2014. Plan to be there! On Sunday, Aug. 10, 2013, the chapter hosted its seventh annual reception for students entering Morgan from the D.C. area.
Lt. Col. Aaron R. Andrews, U.S. Army (Ret.), ’74, and his wife, Connie V. Andrews, ’75, had an idea early last year of starting a Northern Virginia Alumni Chapter of the MSUNAA. They researched the idea with Alumni Relations, contacted several Morganites in the Northern Virginia area, conducted six meetings, put together the paperwork and applied for the chapter to be chartered. The Andrews are happy to say they were successful in pulling it off, beginning the Northern Virginia Alumni Chapter with 41 charter members. The Chapter is planning to attend the Homecoming Gala in force. The chapter represented Morgan at the Urban League Job Fair that was hosted at the Alexandria Campus of the Northern Virginia Community College.
