A Look Back

From two distinct scholar classes embarking on their journeys as Morehead-Cains to alumni forging connections through travel, the 2023–2024 academic year was marked by collaboration, learning, and transformation.

"I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the Morehead-Cain Foundation for supporting my collegiate endeavors and for inspiring me to be the best version of myself each and every day. It was the honor of my life to be a member of the scholar community."
