We Are Knox...

"Knox students get excited about what they do on campus, whether it's the
research they're conducting or the activities they're involved with outside
of class," says Maurice Harris. "That's why I like being a tour guide -
because I get to show just what it's like to be a Knox student."

Maurice is involved with the Knox College Republicans, Model UN, Student Senate, the Curriculum Committee (which reviews course proposals submitted by faculty), and Knox Ambassadors. And he's a Resident Advisor. During campus tours, he tells visiting students about annual events (such as Homecoming or Flunk Day), but he also shares stories about his travels off campus (such as the trip he took to Montreal for a Model UN Conference) and milestones in his own life (such as being accepted to the University of Missouri Law School).

"The best thing about activities that go on at Knox is that almost all of them are student-initiated," Maurice says. He helped bring former (and sometimes controversial) Attorney General John Ashcroft to speak on campus and chuckles when he recalls that event: "The week leading up to it was non-stop excitement."
