About PowerLIVE
Inspiring Life Experiences and Personal Growth
In 2010, Morgan State University's Office of Residence Life & Housing (ORL&H) created PowerLIVE to honor students living in the residence halls who have obtained the highest cumulative grade point averages (GPAs).
​
The annual event is hosted by the Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) and also recognizes students who have demonstrated significant academic achievements in the ORL&H's EVOLVE (Elevating Voices of Leadership, Virtue, and Excellence), The Morgan MILE (Male Initiative of Leadership and Excellence), Center for Academic Success and Achievement (CASA), and Student Athletes.
Additionally, we recognize faculty and staff members who were chosen by their student(s), as individuals who have contributed to their academic success.
The ORL&H believes that it is important to recognize and celebrate the stellar academic achievements of our students and our collaborations with faculty and staff. Our Residential Scholars and other PowerLIVE awardees represent the epitome of academic achievement at Morgan State University.
