Committees
Atlanta Alumni Chapter · Chartered 1937
Standing Committees
The Morris Brown College Atlanta Alumni Chapter operates through four standing committees, each focused on a critical area of the chapter's mission. Every member is encouraged to serve on at least one committee — your time, talent, and expertise are what make the chapter thrive. Committee meetings are held monthly and are open to all dues-paying members.

As alumni, chapter members serve as powerful ambassadors for the college — sharing their personal stories, attending college fairs, and engaging with Atlanta-area high school students and their families. This committee is central to MBC's continued enrollment growth following its historic reaccreditation in 2021.
