Morgan State on the Vineyard

MORGAN ON THE VINEYARD WEEK

 

Tuesday, August 5 through Friday, August 8, 2025

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Morgan on the Vineyard 2025 this August. Since its inception in 2018, the spirit of Bear pride comes alive every summer on the picturesque shores of Martha’s Vineyard. Morgan alumni, friends, and supporters gather for Morgan on the Vineyard Week to paint the Vineyard Orange and Blue. The 2025 edition promises to be more vibrant than ever—a celebration of shared history, enduring friendships, and the powerful legacy of Morgan State University. As we reconnect, relax, and recharge in this cherished setting, we also reaffirm our collective commitment to the University’s continued growth and success. Let the memories begin!
