SWARMCOMING 2026: Legacy, Culture, Excellence!

Hornet Nation, get ready to SWARM!

Many of you have been asking about the upcoming Morris College SWARMCOMING 2026 events. We are excited to share that the schedule released so far is just the beginning! Additional activities, registration details, special guests, and event information will be announced in the coming weeks.

What is SWARMCOMING?
SWARMCOMING is Morris College's exciting reimagined Homecoming experience—a week-long celebration where alumni, students, faculty, staff, supporters, and friends return to "The Hive" to reconnect, celebrate our rich history, honor our traditions, and create new memories together. It is a time when Hornets from near and far come together to showcase our pride, spirit, and commitment to Morris College.

From pep rallies and talent showcases to the Outstanding Alumni Gala, Hornets on the Tee, the Swarm Parade, basketball games, concerts, and the Gospel Brunch, SWARMCOMING is where Legacy, Culture, and Excellence come alive!

We appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement. Please be patient as we finalize additional details and opportunities for everyone to participate.

Stay tuned, more information is on the way!

Get ready to come back to The Hive and let the swarm begin!

🐝💙💛

President Said Sewell...UPDATE...The work is going well on Morris College in Sumter, SC's W.O.W. (Welcome to Our World) initiative.

This initiative will create a beautiful, inspiring gateway that reflects the new movement at the college, excellence, pride, and the promise of Morris College.

The new entrance to our campus is more than a roadway. It is the first statement of who Morris College is, what we value, and where we are headed.

We look forward to the ribbon-cutting ceremony in late June.

Students with a GPA of 3.3 or higher may be eligible for full tuition coverage. Located in Sumter, South Carolina, the college is approximately a 2.5 hour drive away.

If you are a 12th grader or looking to transfer to an institution where you: 1. More than just a number; 2. It's not just about a degree; it's about discovering your purpose. 3. You can lead and serve the moment you arrive.

As I always say: "Don’t just choose a college… choose a place that chooses you. Don’t just go somewhere to exist… go somewhere to become. Don’t just dream about success—decide it, declare it, and develop it… right here at Morris College in Sumter, SC, and I would love to be your President."
