“The reason he could sleep through a storm is that before the storm came, he was prepared for what would occur.”⁠ ⁠ As we step into a #NewYear, we are reminded of the words shared by Dr. Michael Eric Dyson during the 2023 Morehouse Founder’s Week Convocation— a call not to fear the storm, but to prepare for it. Preparation, as he taught, is not rooted in anxiety, but in discipline, foresight, and faith in one’s purpose.⁠ ⁠ New Year’s Day invites reflection and resolve. It is a moment to ask not what the year will bring, but how we will be ready to meet it. At Morehouse, preparation has always been the foundation of leadership. As 2026 begins, may we continue to prepare for the storms of today and the possibilities of tomorrow.⁠ ⁠ #Morehouse #MorehouseCollege
