Dear Editor, I joined Clark Atlanta University (CAU) after the consolidation in 1988 and I feel that I am a Clark Atlantan.

One of the U’s is a forward U. Forward- At, near, belonging to or located in the front; going, or moving toward a position. Going, tending, or moving toward a position in the front.
