MSM-Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy Connect
Mission and Purpose
The MSM-Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy Connect Mentoring Program is a partnership with the Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM), Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy, Atlanta Public Schools, and Atlanta CARES. The employees of Morehouse School of Medicine will provide one-on-one and group mentoring to the 3rd–5th grade students at Tuskegee Airmen Global Academy. Research indicates that mentoring improves attendance, academic achievement, classroom behaviors, life skills and self-efficacy. MSM is committed to providing support in character development, attitudes towards learning and social-emotional learning.
