(BALTIMORE – July 4, 2025)— In a landmark move signaling the start of a new cooperative initiative, Morgan State University and the SEA Foundation, a philanthropic organization founded by internationally acclaimed soccer icon and humanitarian Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor, have committed to strategic collaboration focused on advancing experiential learning, entrepreneurship, and leadership development with a strong emphasis on social impact. Formalized during a public event held on Morgan’s campus, Friday, June 27, 2025, the two institutions officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU signing ceremony culminated months of planning and dialogue between Morgan leadership and representatives of the SEA Foundation. It marks the beginning of a bold, multifaceted collaboration that will pursue a wide range of academic exchange opportunities focusing on cooperative global-minded learning models, entrepreneurship and reinvestment, civic and community engagement, and leadership advancement. “This alliance with the SEA Foundation represents a milestone in fulfilling Morgan’s vision to shape the global future through education,” said David K. Wilson, president of Morgan. “Together, we are establishing a bridge that connects the rich intellectual and cultural strengths of Togo with the academic excellence and innovation of Morgan. Thanks to the vision of Mr. Adebayor and his foundation, our collaboration will empower the next generation of global leaders from both nations while serving as a model for international engagement between HBCUs and the African continent.” The SEA Foundation, headquartered in Lomé, Togo, is a mission-driven nonprofit dedicated to empowering communities through education, population health, cultural engagement, and youth entrepreneurship. Founded and led by Adebayor—one of Africa’s most recognized athletes and humanitarians—the Foundation has prioritized initiatives that enhance educational access, promote health awareness, and provide young people with the tools to drive economic and social progress. The two-day visit to Baltimore included a special public dialogue, “Impact Through Education: An Exploration of How Education Is Shaping Africa’s Future,” featuring President Wilson and Mr. Adebayor. The session offered insights into how educational institutions and philanthropic partners can collaborate to spark transformation across nations and continents. “I believe deeply in the power of education to unlock opportunity and shape destiny,” said Sheyi Emmanuel Adebayor, founder and president of the SEA Foundation. “Through this partnership with Morgan State University, we are creating access, building capacity, and inspiring the youth of Africa to dream bigger, expand their global purview, and plant seeds for reinvestment back home in Africa. This is a legacy effort that will touch lives and lift communities. We are proud to call Morgan our partner in this journey.” Still in development, the strategic pillars of Morgan’s collaboration with the SEA Foundation will comprise several key initiatives designed to enhance global academic exchange and fuel grassroots innovation in Africa and here in the U.S. at Maryland’s Preeminent Public Urban Research University. Among the proposed opportunities for exchange and advancement include: The Scholars and Fellows Program This flagship initiative will bring selected students and faculty from Africa to study and teach at Morgan. In addition to academic exchange, the program may include the potential to establish endowed professorships and research fellowships to…
