Sens. Ossoff, Rev. Warnock Delivering Resources to Strengthen Student Safety at Morehouse College

Atlanta, Ga. - U.S. Senators Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock are delivering new Federal resources to strengthen student safety at Morehouse College.

These new resources will help Morehouse strengthen campus security by installing motorized gates at entrances to campus, cameras at dorm entrances, and proximity locks on classrooms and offices throughout the campus.

Sens. Ossoff and Reverend Warnock are delivering $556,000 for the project through bipartisan government funding legislation that became law on January 23.

"I have worked to secure investments in Georgia's HBCUs since the day I took office. Senator Reverend Warnock and I built a bipartisan coalition of support in the Senate to invest in Morehouse College with new resources to strengthen student safety," Sen. Ossoff said.

"As a 1991 graduate of Morehouse, I know how important this institution is not only to its students and staff but to the HBCU community," said Senator Warnock. "We must ensure our HBCU campuses continue to be a place of safe and secure learning. I am proud to have secured these federal funds with Senator Ossoff to make sure Morehouse College remains that."

"Enhancing the security infrastructure that protects the Morehouse community is a critical investment in the future of our campus," said Dr. F. DuBois Bowman '92, the 13th president of Morehouse College. "We are grateful to Senator Jon Ossoff and Senator-alumnus Raphael Warnock for their continued commitment to the safety and well-being of Morehouse and the broader Atlanta community that engages with the institution every day."
