It’s a new chapter for Morris Brown College.
School leaders say the HBCU is back. The transformation process is called “The Hard Reset.”
In 2002, the school lost its accreditation after two school administrators, including its former president, were indicted for fraud. Enrollment plummeted and over the years, the school appeared to be on the brink of closure.
Over the past two decades, continued efforts from school leaders and the Morris Brown community kept the school afloat.
In 2022, the school regained its accreditation.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look” Morris Brown President Dr. Kevin James and Dr. Toneyce Randolph, the college’s new provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, talked with show host Rose Scott about the past, present and future of the institution.
During the conversation, the guests shared details about several topics, including boosting school enrollment to more than 300, new degree programs, plans to expand the school’s hospitality program by building a hotel building on campus and the restoration of Fountain Hall.
