In addition to extensive research which entailed examining past and present data, identifying external and internal influences, and conducting sessions with alumni, students, faculty, staff, and other stakeholders, we also spoke with some experts in various disciplines. The activities aided the Division in reviewing its mission and in formulating strategic priorities, goals and objectives for 2024-2029.

This extraordinary education experience has led to careers of influence for Black men who have provided extraordinary leadership to the nation and the world. Elevating the mission and attracting to Morehouse College those who are compelled by that mission will require a focus on enhancing space and place and amplifying our reach through marketing and technology.

    Meet the Dean

    Since 2001, Dr. Hutto has enjoyed working collaboratively with other Morehouse faculty to recruit, mentor, and retain highly qualified students and prepare them for relevant research and graduate studies, ultimately leading to professional careers in physical education, human performance, and allied health. To this end, he co-founded the James P. Haines Society Majors Club at Morehouse, which has helped supplement and strengthen the department’s curriculum for over two decades.
