Dr. Terry Morris has become an institution at Shorter University. Having taught in the Department of History and Political Science for forty-two years, Dr. Morris is now the senior member of the faculty at Shorter University and holds the academic rank of Full Professor of History. He is also one of the most dedicated members of the Shorter faculty.

But Dr. Morris' association with Shorter University is even greater than his tenure as a faculty member. He also spent four years as a student of Shorter University, earning his B.A. here in 1964. He went on to obtain his M.A. from Emory University in 1966, and later his Ph.D. from the University of Georgia in 1976.

Dr. Morris' teaching areas encompass various aspects of history, specifically European and World history. In addition to being a History Professor, Dr. Morris is the director of Shorter's Honors Program, the Academy of Aristeaus. He also serves as a freshman advisor and has planned several May term trips. For May 2007 Dr. Morris is working on a trip to Ecuador to study developing nations.

When he is not in the classroom challenging his students to think by pushing them with his probing questions, Dr. Morris can generally be found in his office working at his computer. In 2005 his hard work paid off with the publication of Organizing the Firm: The Role of Science in Modern Management. Now Dr. Morris is preparing to start a new project that will once again have him hard at work at his computer. At the same time he looks forward to many more years working with the students of Shorter University, helping them to learn, understand and interpret history and the world in which they will live and lead.
