Morgan’s journey at Carroll has most certainly been non-traditional and transformative. Morgan is attending Carroll Community College for the second time after taking a nine-year break from higher education. She is a single mother who was raised by a single mother after enduring 10 years in a household filled with abuse. Morgan has overcome unimaginable challenges to pursue her dream to become an Early Childhood Education teacher.

Morgan actively seeks a leadership role in her co-curricular activities and volunteer obligations. On-campus, Morgan is president of the Early Childhood Education Club. She is part of the Lynx-to-Lynx Mentor Program helping fellow students who need an extra leg up. She was responsible for organizing a Domestic Violence Information Event and a showing of ‘No Small Matter’, a film that promotes how much the little things matter to children. In addition to academic pursuits and campus involvement, Morgan has spent countless hours volunteering off-campus. She has collaborated with a local charity to hold a Carroll Baby Diaper Drive and partnered with McDaniel College to launch a Head Start Sensory Room and Playground Initiative. All of her extensive service-learning undertakings have further enriched her academic experience.
