The Local Take: Morris Brown College Update With Interim President Dr. Kevin James

Saturday on The Local Take I spoke with Dr. Kevin James, the Interim President at Morris Brown College. Recently the Georgia Nonpublic Post Secondary Education Commission (GNPEC), which authorizes and regulates the operations of in-state non-public and out of state post secondary colleges and schools operating and offering instruction in Georgia, designated Morris Brown College "approved as an institute of higher learning." 

Dr. James who explains what the prounouncement "approved as an institute of higher learning" really means. It is the first step towards accreditation.  Morris Brown College will be up for accreditation consideration in October 2020.

Although he took the position in March of this year, Dr. James has moved the school forward faster than any of his predecessors.  He says this is due to his vision. 

I ask Dr. James about the day to day life at Morris Brown, he shares that students and teachers where excited about the pronouncement which came right before the start of homecoming.  "Share our story and Make a Donation." These are the two things that Dr. James encourages members of the community and alumni to in support of Morris Brown.
