The Spring Tour was developed and implemented in 1982 by Dr. James Hefner. It was taken internationally in 1985 by Dr. John Williams and nurtured until 2007 by Mr. Benjamin P. McLaurin, Director of Career Counseling & Placement, and is currently led by Mr. Douglas Cooper, Executive Director of Career Development & Engagement. It was originally designed to allow accounting students to visit banking and accounting firms and graduate schools. The tour's purpose has evolved to expose Morehouse students to global business practices, observe international diplomacy and contrast foreign customs and practices to domestic ones.
