the Tom Joyner 
Foundation

an A.M.E. sponsored school of higher learning. In April it will
focus on Wilberforce, another of the Histroic Black Colleges and
Universities.

Below is the statement from the Joyner Foundation as to its look at Morris
Brown this month:
Each month the Tom Joyner Foundation
selects a specific HBCU (Historic Black Colleges and Universities) to
focus our funding raising efforts towards.
During the month of January the HBCU of
the month is Morris Brown College.
We encourage individuals, groups,
organizations and alumni of Morris Brown College to join us in our effort to
support this institution of higher learning.
Morris Brown College, founded in 1881
by the African Methodist Episcopal Church, is a private, coeducational,
liberal arts college engaged in teaching, research, and public service in the
arts, humanities, education, professional programs, social sciences, and
natural sciences.
Morris Brown College, in its commitment
to academic excellence, provides experiences that foster and enhance
intellectual, personal, and interpersonal development for students who have
demonstrated the potential to compete in a challenging undergraduate liberal
arts program of study.
Moreover, since educational endeavors
may not be circumscribed by the limitations that students bring with them to
the institution, the College, in its commitment to a liberal admissions
policy, provides access to personal development and intellectual growth for
students who show potential for sustained study at the undergraduate
level.
The College recognizes that variables
characterizing students admitted on this basis often reflect experiences that
may not be indicators of capabilities of future accomplishments. .
