Morehouse College

The environment is academic oriented with Professors and students.  Students are coming in and out of your office on a regular basis with problems to be solved, issues to be addressed, seeking emotional as well as intellectual stimulation.  The Professors completely rely on you to handle any and all administrative needs of the department.  You are the go-to-person for all administrative issues and concerns.  You have to be an experienced administrative assistant with the ability to address issues verbally or in writing, set up complex seminars and meetings, control and manage the department budget.  The environment can be very entertaining working with young adults and watching them grow.  I support the executive in the department and free him of all problems in the office, and he can focus on the academic aspects of the workplace.  These things are done on a "daily" basis.  The hardest part of the job is having to be available all the time with an open door policy.  This is a learning environment.  The learning is unlimited and I have taken advantage of learning about ancient civilizations and how human civilization has developed which helps me in understanding human nature more clearly.  I work in a constant learning environment that people share their intellect on a regular basis.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of working at Moorehouse was being able to help so many people of all diversities. I had the opportunity to work closely with different Physicians for for medical science fairs. Together we conducted blood pressure checks, administered Covid shots, blood donations were available and Mammograms were offered at no charge. The best thing was being a part of such a united group of volunteers that were focused and were available to just help as many people as we can. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
There was no stress. As long as we had the number of volunteers available we had very successful events. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment is very positive hardworking energized teams of people which includes college students, healthcare workers, parents, nurses, Doctors who were all amazing volunteers . 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day for me includes Greeting patients and answering calls and assisting patients, students or scheduling appointments.

I declined another position to work at the "prestigious" Morehouse College.  Immediately I noticed the intense unorganized way of handling business.  They hope to hire people from bigger organizations to help with issues here but do not listen to advise or suggestions.  Usually siting budget but will easily waste money in other places.  Management lack development opportunities and training for newly promoted managers.  They tend to be cliquey and the rules and standards that go for the favorites aren't the same for people not in the "clique".  The culture is disappointing.  While I love the history and the fact that a large amount of the staff are long time employees, it is regretful that they are not encouraged to stay modern.  The college attempts to modernize processes however employees are not held accountable for not following new processes.

As Student Ambassador my primary responsibility is to aid the university in the recruitment of potential students, to assist in the orientation of new students, and to advise all students on the rules, regulations, traditions, and different aspects of university life. The secondary role of an Ambassador is to promote spirit and unity among Morehouse students and to provide general service to the Morehouse community. As an Ambassador I also traveled to various high schools and represent Morehouse to groups of potential students. In addition to making these visits, also lead campus tours and spoke to students at special recruiting events on. The Recruiting Team works with staff members from the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Student Aid as well. Ambassadors assist students throughout their time spent at Morehouse—from orientation to graduation. 

Management is the worst, they want blood,sweet from you. If you have a family ,say goodbye to them because the school wants you to put your job first and your family on the bottom of your personal life. Pay is bad ,so they get you by saying ,work overtime to make a decent income. I rather be off with my family then putting job first. Insurance keeps going up every year. Bunch of back stabbers to try and get promoted. Misfits all over the place that have no proper training...I  wouldn't  send my enemy's to work their .the students aren't safe constantly getting robbed on campus and off. Plenty of drugs being moved inside campus and in the dorms. No protection because they put security in uniforms that look like they are police officers but they are NOT. The criminals known it so it's open season on the campus for the staff and students to get robbed.

you could be anywhere on the campus at anytime doing what you love. The management is great and the kids on campus are very respective. The experience of  the college life will be seen on a daily basis and you can come across some of your favorite celebrities including denzel washington and shaquille o'neil. the benefits are complimenting and the pay you cannot deny. also, you get a schedule that will work with any plans you might have.Ultimately, moehouse i know is good from experience and talking/watching others while working there but overall  yu will be happy and enjoy working at morehouse college.

In by 9 or a little later because I have the option to work from home. Working until an approximate lunch time, and give or take an hour for the lunch. Each day was a learning experience where I became more proficient at research compilation, and presentation. While in the lab I only reported to my research supervisor and had no real co-workers other than occasional lab additions of students. The autonomy suited me well, attributing the most difficult part of my job to adjusting my work presentations to suit the varied research styles of the multiple professors I'd compile research under. Even with the difficulties presented I enjoyed every aspect of the job.

Morehouse was a pleasant place to work until the new administration came end. They could not raise funds. Had the wrong people in management positions. Raised the cost of tuition. They fell short 700 students. Could not afford to keep the a few dorms open and released 200+ employees. Lost Federal Grants.
90% of the Upper Management that caused this to happen have left or been let go.
My department has not been replaced and the functions that we created like Video Streaming, 100% classroom technology maintenance, Self Contained Audio Visual, Student Audio recital recordings, IT repairs, etc, have not gotten back to where it was when we were laid off. No Telecommunications department. The phones that the new bosses ordered, are being replace.

A typical work day at Morehouse is relaxed however it can be stressful from day to day especially dealing with the people due to their insecurity.  Most people are out of the office according to their schedule for destination at alternative, middle or high schools.  

Culture of the workplace has been established to be out of the office most of the time.

Hardest part of the job is the understanding that most employees do not understand the other departments and what or how they get their job done.

Most enjoyable part is when its time to go home (smile).

As a Counseling Intern you are provided with clients on a consistent basis, especially if you request for more clients. You are also giving plenty of supervision on a regular basis.

As a Disability Service Coordinator you are expected to facilitate reasonable accommodation request from students, communicate with students and their caregivers about their requests, and to provide some counseling services. On a typical day you could have multiple phone conversations with parents, meet with a few students (and/or parents) to discuss how the accommodations are working for them, and replying and sending emails related to accommodation request.
