OFFICE HOURS

Illya Davis, a tenured professor at Morehouse College and a member of the graduating class of 1989, always wants to make sure students are heard, but also challenged.

Davis regularly talks to students, whether on Brown Street or in his office, for conversations that can begin anywhere.

“I’m not at work. I’m at home,” Davis said. “And I look at each student here as a potential version of myself.”
