Morris College is literally breaking new ground. The college’s new Forensics Center, designed to strengthen its Criminal Justice program, is nearly completed and will be fully operational during the coming spring semester. This facility will expand opportunities for our students to be trained in the most current investigative techniques involving fingerprinting, ballistics, chemical testing, genetic testing and computer forensics. It will also render a service to the community for law enforcement agencies that may wish to have access to the center’s labs and classrooms. The Sumter County Sheriff’s Office has already expressed an interest.
Other physical improvements already funded to begin include the construction of a new residence hall, an administrative building, a student health and wellness center, a wing to expand the Wilson-Booker Science Building, and ongoing pavement projects throughout the campus. Construction is already underway for a new physical plant building. All projects funded under the Solomon Jackson, Jr. magnanimous gift will be completed as soon as possible with a new residence hall being the most immediate priority. From accommodating increases in enrollment, to promoting lifelong healthy lifestyles, to impacting academic offerings, all of these improvements are a testament to the college’s dramatic response to new opportunities and goals that help enhance our image as a quality institution.
Quality is the main reason why we are breaking new ground, because academic excellence is our chief objective. The caliber and quality of the programs we offer are designed to give students confidence in their ability to succeed and make a difference. Attributed to several innovative changes, the retention rate for the Fall 2009 freshman class has had a sharp increase to a record rate of 70%. The retention rate for the current year of all students returning is 72%. Both percentages are all-time record levels. Even the enrollment has risen to an all-time record. Substantially greater than last fall, the Fall 2010 enrollment stands at 1,085 students compared to 987 last fall. Also, 65% of our full-time teaching faculty hold earned doctorate degrees.
As a quality institution, Morris College goes beyond what we say. The college will be visited by on-site review teams from two different accrediting agencies. During November 13-17 of this year, a team from the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) will visit the campus to reaffirm accreditation of our Teacher Education Program. During September 19-21, 2011, a team from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges will visit the campus to reaffirm our regional accreditation.
As we experience the excitement of watching goals reached and dreams becoming a reality, we are grateful to you and those who join with you in supporting us. Thanks again to the Reverend Dr. Solomon Jackson, Jr. for having aided Morris College so generously and immeasurably. His noble acts of love and appreciation for the college has given all of us a reason to be thankful and proud. With all of us working together, Morris College will continue enlightening the minds of its students.
Thank you and God bless you all.
