Morehouse Beyond Commencement

MOREHOUSE B E YO N D C O M M E N C E M E N T Presented by the Office of Admissions and Recruitment

Beyond Commencement For many, Commencement or graduation marks the end of a collegiate journey. It is the culmination of all that a student has worked tirelessly to achieve. When Commencement day arrives, there is a moment of truth that holds every student, parent, college, and alum together. It is at this pivotal moment, that one reflects on their college choice and reaffirms that they made the right decision.

Hard work, the academic rigor, faculty lectures, late night study groups, internships, and study abroad experiences all helped shape and inform the next major decision of your life. The decision facing you now is whether to pursue your education at the graduate or professional school level or to enter the workforce.

At Morehouse, Commencement is your prelude to greatness.

So, what happens when Men of Morehouse become Morehouse Men? Where do they go? What do they do? Where do they work? Where do they live?

The answer is simple. They live everywhere and do just about everything.

Today’s Morehouse graduates are on the move like never before, making great strides to become the global leaders of tomorrow. We want you to envision your life Beyond Commencement.

The alumni highlighted on the following pages, are from the classes of 2000 to the present. Let their accomplishments, education and achievements inspire, guide and direct you to Morehouse. They did it, and you can too.

After all, this is Morehouse. You are expected to do big things!
