“...declare war on mediocrity!”President Richardson addresses campus community and motivates students during Opening Convocation
“You must declare war on mediocrity,” President Richardson said to the student-body in his address to the campus community on yesterday during the college’s annual Opening Fall Convocation. Although the program is well attended annually, this year’s attendance represents a record-high for Morris College. The total enrollment for the fall semester is 1,085 students of which 347 are members of the Freshman Class. During President Richardson’s brief address, he expressed his expectations for students to excel academically. As he shared several motivational points, he also informed everyone of several projects in the pipeline that will con-
tinue to thrust the college forward in providing a quality education. Among the attendees were the Reverend Dr. Solomon Jackson, Jr. along with other members of the Morris College Board of Trustees, alumni, and supporters. Dr. Jackson was extended an opportunity to address the audience. He said, “I wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not for Morris College.” As he continued to render remarks, he told students “God will always make a way,” and that “...you must prepare yourselves for service to others.”

Reverend Black Returns as Interim Dean of Student Affairs
Edwards to Deliver SGA Address De’siree Edwards, the 2010-2011 Student Government Association (SGA) Presi-dent, will be the featured speaker during the annual SGA assembly. A native of Florence, SC, Edwards is a senior political science major with a minor in history. Her leadership capabilities have been demonstrated in several organiza-tions including Phi Beta Lambda; the college’s drama club, The Morris College Play-ers; and the Morris College Dance Team. She also serves as a student ambassador. In her thrust for community involvement, she volunteers at the North HOPE Center and with the after-school program at City of Refuge Ministries where she currently attends. Edwards will deliver her SGA address to the campus community in the Neal-Jones Auditorium at 10 a.m. on Thursday, September 16.
Groundbreaking Ceremony Scheduled for September 14 A groundbreaking ceremony for a new physical plant building will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Septem-ber 14. Funds for the total cost of construction for this project are part of a $10M gift to the college from Reverend Dr. Solomon Jackson, Jr. earlier this year. The physical plant building will include office spaces, a lawn maintenance equipment area, a staff confer-ence room, storage vaults, workshop areas, and four vehicular bays. The building will be named in honor of the donor’s late father, Mr. Solomon Jackson, Sr.; the late Reverend Dr. William McKinley Bowman, Sr., and Reverend Dr. Raymond Carolina. During the ceremony, the donor will render remarks.
Reverend Eliza E. Black, the highly regarded Dean Emerita of Student Affairs, has returned to Morris College to serve as the Interim Dean. Dean Black retired in 1995 after rendering 40 years of distinguished service. Her Morris College career began in 1955 when she taught English and in 1973 she was appointed as Dean of Student Affairs. Prior to her return, she served as pastor of Reid Chapel AME Church where she retired earlier this year.
Last month, Morris College welcomed the new Pizza Hut Express that had its Grand Opening in the Givens, Blake, Rich, Thompson Student Center. This collaborative effort with Perkins Man-agement Services Company, Inc., the college's food service program providers, solidifies the company’s commitment to offering variety in food selections. The hours of operation for the Pizza Hut Express are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mon-day through Friday and 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
