Columbia Theological Seminary celebrates the induction of President The Rev. Dr. Victor Aloyo, Jr. into the Collegium of Scholars at Morehouse College. The honor is part of the 41st Annual Martin Luther King, Jr. College of Ministers and Laity.
The Collegium recognizes leaders who demonstrate achievement, moral leadership, and deep commitment to community. These values closely reflect Columbia’s mission to form faithful and imaginative leaders for the Church and the world.
In reflecting on this honor, Dr. Aloyo shared:
“To be considered within a tradition that upholds service, integrity, and leadership grounded in the principles exemplified by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is both humbling and inspiring. His vision of leadership, rooted in justice, courage, and the common good, continues to shape my own vocational commitments.”
In this way, the Collegium affirms leaders whose work embodies justice, service, and moral courage. Dr. Aloyo’s induction reflects both personal vocation and the shared work of Columbia’s community.
The ceremony will take place on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. It will be held at the Martin Luther King, Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College in Atlanta.
Columbia gives thanks for this recognition. We celebrate the continued call to form leaders shaped by faith, justice, and service to the common good.
