A Conversation with Brenda Morris
What would you tell a student who is thinking about attending A&M-商务?
今天,一个&M-商务 continues to provide what it did for me back in the 1970s – an affordable and accessible college education to students who may not otherwise have an opportunity to pursue their dreams. I was a first-generation college student and would never have been able to afford to ‘going off to college.
What has been your most memorable moment helping an alum or donor?
I can’t pinpoint a specific moment, but I love my daily interactions with the past, present and future of the university — the faithful alumni and friends who are providing for our current students. In turn, our current students will someday enable our future students to receive an education!
How has your role changed since you began working at A&M-商务?
Ten years ago, I started as the assistant to the vice president of advancement. Now I'm firmly entrenched in the ‘back office’ support of the 办公室 of Philanthropy and Engagement and our scholarship process from a donor perspective. I also coordinate events for our office and the president's office.
