  • For Immediate Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY, MOREHOUSE COLLEGE, AND SPELMAN COLLEGE PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO STUDENTS AND FAMILIES FOR LIMITED SPRING IN-PERSON INSTRUCTION AND CAMPUS RESIDENCY ATLANTA, Georgia, November 16, 2020– To allow students and their families the necessary time to prepare for the 2021 spring semester, the presidents of Clark Atlanta University (CAU), Morehouse College, and Spelman College today shared preliminary plans to begin spring courses on February 1, 2021. Reflecting awareness and anticipation of a fall spike in national COVID-19 cases, the plans include an adjusted academic calendar and a limited return to in-person instruction and campus residency for specific groups of students. These plans are subject to change based on public health information which is monitored on an ongoing basis. Each of the institutions will identify and invite cohorts of students to live and/or learn on campus while other students will continue virtual learning. Classes for the 2021 spring semester begin on Monday, February 1, 2021 for all CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman students. AUCC member institution Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), which follows a separate academic calendar, will continue in-person and hybrid instruction and has enhanced health and safety protocols. The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) will provide both in-person and virtual services for AUC students. After a fall semester of virtual instruction, each institution would ideally prefer to return all students to campus. However, by reducing the number of students on their campuses, CAU, Morehouse, and Spelman are best able to implement rigorous health and safety protocols designed to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

  • Sankofa Students Tour Ten HBCU's on the East Coast
    Sankofa Students Tour Ten HBCU’s on the East Coast This summer, Merritt’s Sankofa program (Umoja Community) had the opportunity to take 10 of its students to the East Coast to tour ten Historically Black Colleges & Universities. The tour was organized by the Stepping in the Right Direction Organization and paid for with Equity funding. Program Coordinator Charity Clay, who accompanied the students, chose students who had completed certain Sankofa requirements, expressed a specific interest in transferring to an HBCU, and went through an interview process. The students participating were Jasmin Harris, CJ Hames, Ajari McCaster, Shantal Stratton, Sapphire Cain, Chioma Nwachukwu, Caleb Mahlungulu, Brandon Aninpot, Rashidat Umar, and Marjorie McNealy. The July 18-23 trip took the students to: • Spelman College - Atlanta Georgia • Tuskeegee University, Tuskeegee, Alabama • Morehouse College - Atlanta Georgia • Clark Atlanta University - Atlanta Georgia • Bennett College - Greensboro North Carolina • North Carolina A&T State University - Greensboro NC • St. Augustine’s University – Raleigh, North Carolina • Howard University - Washington DC • Hampton University - Hampton, Virginia • Norfolk State University - Norfolk, Virginia Students were able to take tours of the campuses and speak to admissions counselors as well as current and former students. Many of the schools even allowed students to apply and be awarded conditional admission on the spot. Many of the students admitted that they had never considered an HBCU before the trip and are now considering the schools they toured as well as researching others with their desired majors. Dr. Clay emphasized the importance of this trip to the students: "I wanted to take students on the trip to expand their vision.
