Save Morris Brown Fundraiser:
Morris Brown College
Morris Brown College has faced and endured difficult circumstances since the turn of the 21st century. Numerous financial and reputational issues – even the loss of accreditation – have added to the constant speculation about the school’s viability and ultimate demise. These challenges have been documented in numerous stories in the media and popular press. Yet, despite varied impressions about their struggles, Morris Brown College continues to weather these hard times and survive. Throughout this survival process, they have never wavered from our 1881 charter as an institution of higher learning, believing in the promise of our students and providing them a quality education. The “new” Morris Brown College will be armored to quickly and easily respond to and take advantage of economic cycles, demographic projections, job trends, and labor market shifts as we impact the future of higher education.
The Atlanta Greek picnic weekend has taken great pride in donating a portion of our proceeds back to Morris brown college after every year’s event.
