President Said Sewell...UPDATE...The work is going well on Morris College in Sumter, SC's W.O.W. (Welcome to Our World) initiative.

This initiative will create a beautiful, inspiring gateway that reflects the new movement at the college, excellence, pride, and the promise of Morris College.

The new entrance to our campus is more than a roadway. It is the first statement of who Morris College is, what we value, and where we are headed.

We look forward to the ribbon-cutting ceremony in late June.

Attention community members, if you know of a high school senior who has not yet decided on a college, please note that Morris College is still accepting applications. Students with a GPA of 3.3 or higher may be eligible for full tuition coverage. Located in Sumter, South Carolina, the college is approximately a 2.5 hour drive away. I am available to assist with the application process.

If you are a 12th grader or looking to transfer to an institution where you: 1. More than just a number; 2. It's not just about a degree; it's about discovering your purpose. 3. You can lead and serve the moment you arrive.

As I always say: "Don’t just choose a college… choose a place that chooses you. Don’t just go somewhere to exist… go somewhere to become. Don’t just dream about success—decide it, declare it, and develop it… right here at Morris College in Sumter, SC, and I would love to be your President."
