FOR 20 YEARS

The Morehouse College Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center (MIEC) is a global model for higher education and industry collaboration that connects education with student leadership development, and community-focused resources and support.

The Center is grounded in the Morehouse legacy and committed to building a program that supports bridging the growing gap between the wealth of non-minorities and that of people of color. Our programs and services have one goal to help Black businesses grow and thrive.

Words that guide us

It must be borne in mind that the tragedy of life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.
Dr. Benjamin E. Mays Sixth President, Morehouse College
