The United States Under Secretary of Education visited Morgan State University on Monday to learn more about the university’s programs and graduates.
Inside Morgan State’s Rocketry Lab, you’ll find some of the university’s brightest. They’re working on launching a rocket to the edge of space.
“We’re all learning,” Morgan State student Don-Terry Veal, Jr. said. “It’s a new experience for everyone involved.”
The lab opened in 2019.
Monday, the students had a special visitor: James Kvaal, the U.S. Under Secretary of Education.
He came to Morgan State to see how programs like this one at HBCUs are bringing diversity to the workforce.
“Too often when we think about higher education, most of the conversation revolves around a few institutions that pride themselves on being selective and turning away students, but what our country needs is more opportunities from all backgrounds,” Kvaal said. Read more at CBS Baltimore.
