Morehouse College Commencement Info 2014

Morehouse College Commencement exercises will be held from Friday, May 16 – Sunday, May 18, 2014.  The College has a list of all the activities, a campus map, info for the disabled, parking, hotel information and more on their website.

We have listed the events during the entire, exciting weekend below. While the main focus is on the Seniors who have worked so diligently to graduate, there are a number of important Alumni activities as well.   We have enlarged the activities that relate directly to alumni.

Get your Souvenir hat, Maroon Blazers and Seersucker Suits ready! We’ll see you in Atlanta in May!

 

Straw hats, maroon blazers and seersucker suits are symbols of unity amongst Morehouse Alumni during Commencement. We look forward to a wonderful reunion in May!
