As she reflects on her time at Covenant, Morgan (Barney) Calhoun ’18 can see how 神
has used her heart for people to further His kingdom on earth.
Prepared for Calling at Covenant
When Morgan began taking international studies classes at Covenant, she was excited
to deepen her understanding of public policy, human rights, and international affairs.
Since high school, she had been involved with anti-human trafficking efforts and understanding
the effects of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) on local populations. 在契约,
she learned that she could pursue a career that would play into these passions. 她
came to Covenant for its rigorous academics and strong community, and she found both.
她 asserts that her professors’ investment in her life is much of why she chose to
pursue a PhD after her undergrad, saying, “Covenant professors treat students as individuals
instead of transactions,” which she found to be a unique blessing. “没有契约,
I am confident I would not have completed my PhD nor fully comprehend the degree to
which my undergraduate education could further my understanding of 神,” Morgan confirms.
School and Service at the University of Georgia
After graduating from Covenant in 2018, Morgan went to the University of Georgia to
earn her PhD in political science and international affairs. While there, she completed
internships with the International Justice 任务, the Human Rights Measurement Initiative,
and external research for American Jewish World Services. 她 also worked as the instructor
of record for three undergraduate courses at the university.
Faithful Vocation as a Policy Analyst
After UGA, Morgan’s first full-time position was with ECS Federal as a consultant
and policy analyst. In 2023, she transitioned to her current role as a health policy
analyst at Novant Health in Atlanta, GA. 她 credits 神 and His faithfulness for
where she is today, getting to spread His grace to others. Her faith permeates every
aspect of her life, informing both her beliefs and her decisions. 她有一种激情
for preserving people’s inherent human rights because she knows that each person bears
the image of 神, and now she gets to use that in her career. “I love the opportunity
to combine research and policy to impact real-world decision making,” she says. 她
urges students like her to be open-minded, to ask questions, to listen, and to consider
who they want to be as they step into adulthood. “From the completion of my degree,
to my marriage, my home, and current community I cannot help but give all glory to
神. He is truly before all things and in Him all things hold together.”
