Morgan Opportunities For Leadership Development (M.O.L.D.)

Your collegiate journey is an opportunity to learn and grow as a leader both on campus and post-baccalaureate. Therefore, the Office of Student Life & Development is investing in strengthening leadership opportunities on and around campus. It is the goal to foster a campus culture that contributes to the holistic experience of Morgan State University students. The primary goal of the office is to assist students, as well as student organizations in the creation, implementation and evaluation of social, educational, cultural and recreational programs. Thus, contribute to the academic growth and personal development of all students at University.

Through the Morgan Opportunities for Leadership Development (M.O.L.D.) program, students will have access to a multi-faceted program, which includes experiential training, workshops and lectures. M.O.L.D. is open to all undergraduate students seeking to further their leadership development skills. Applicants do not have to be a part of a student organization to join the program, they just need to have a desire to learn and grow as a leader.
