Jordan Morgan ’26 named a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Scholar
Jordan Morgan ’26, a computer science and quantitative economics major from Alpharetta, Georgia, was recently named a Hewlett Packard Enterprise Scholar. This scholarship is sponsored by The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) and is awarded to high-achieving Black students pursuing an undergraduate degree in business or a STEM-related field at an accredited four-year college in the U.S.
Five rising juniors who apply as sophomores are selected for the award each year. Winners receive a need-based, two-year scholarship for $8,245 per year to assist with educational expenses. Morgan said he learned about the scholarship when his family member recommended he apply through the ELC, whose mission is to build a pipeline of Black corporate talent by supporting the academic achievement and development of Black students.
Morgan and other awardees of the ELC’s many scholarships attended the ELC Honors Symposium in Washington, D.C., held October 1-4 this year. During this annual experience, students engage in leadership development workshops, career coaching sessions and mentorship opportunities led by top executives from Fortune 500 companies. They also attend networking events and panel discussions on corporate leadership, diversity and inclusion. The week culminates with the ELC’s Annual Recognition Gala, which celebrates attendees for their achievements and officially welcomes them into the broader ELC network.
“Going to the Honors Symposium was amazing,” Morgan said. “It has unlocked new doors for me to go through, people for me to contact and directions for me to think in. I've gotten better at networking, and the speakers there gave me a lot of new information and insight that I still need to digest fully.”
During his first year as a Camel, Morgan was invited to join the selective Connecticut College Science Leaders Program, through which he has developed his strong interest in cybersecurity and finance. On campus, Morgan participates in the Men of Color Alliance, the Mock Trial Club, Peggotty Investment Club and Chess Club.
