Four distinguished Morehouse College alumni—Kenton McNeal ’20, Paul Bryant ’19, Anthony Dodd ’18, and Maximilian Sanders ’19—are currently pursuing their MBAs at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the nation’s top-ranked Ivy League business program.

They are part of a cohort of six SpelHouse graduates enrolled at Wharton, joined by Spelman alumnae Mikayla Nash '21 and Alexandra Jenkins '23. Together, they represent the shared legacy of excellence between Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and the continued impact of the Atlanta University Center on a global stage.

The professional paths of these alumni span private equity, management consulting, and corporate leadership at some of the world’s most respected firms. Upon graduation, McNeal will return to Deloitte as a Senior Consultant, while his fellow alumni are advancing in roles that reflect the depth of their experience and the breadth of their ambitions.

Each of these Morehouse Men credits their success to intentional preparation, mentorship, and the enduring support of the AUC community. The academic rigor, leadership development, and lifelong brotherhood fostered at Morehouse laid the foundation for their acceptance into one of the most competitive MBA programs in the world.

“Each of us leaned on the foundation built at Spelman and Morehouse—rigorous academics, leadership in campus organizations, and the lifelong network of the AUC,” shared one of the alumni. “This moment reflects the power of collective ambition—when SpelHouse graduates uplift one another, share resources, and remain focused on excellence, doors to the world’s top institutions open.”

As they pursue their MBAs at Wharton, these Morehouse alumni exemplify the College’s mission to develop men with disciplined minds who will lead lives of leadership and service. Their achievements affirm that the Morehouse legacy continues to shape leaders whose influence extends well beyond the gates of the College.
