Is Selma University still in operations? Is the Univ. still open? I wrote them a personal check over a year ago and have not received it back. Wrote three (3) follow up and still no reply. I am seeking any information on the Dr. John W. Moorer MD. I understand he has a picture on the wall, somewhere at the Univ. Any help would be appreciated. If there is a University faculty member or student on line, please contact me.
