  • Fact Book 2007 Cover
    The University of Georgia ;VXi7dd`'%%, Fact Book 2007 Cover A commitment to diversity is an integral part of the University of Georgia’s educational mission. As expressed in the institution’s mission statement, the university “seeks to foster the understanding of and respect for cultural differences necessary for an enlightened and educated citizenry.” The Fact Book 2007 cover honors three courageous pioneers and their contributions to diversity at the University of Georgia. In January 1961, Hamilton E. Holmes became the first African-American man admitted to the University of Georgia. He graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1963, and became the first African American admitted to the Emory University School of Medicine. Dr. Holmes had an esteemed medical career, including serving as Associate Dean of the Emory University School of Medicine and culminating as the head of orthopedic surgery at Grady Memorial Hospital. He was an ardent supporter of the university and was the first African- American member of the Board of Trustees of the University of Georgia Foundation at the time of his death in 1995. In 1999, Dr. Holmes became the first African American to have an endowed professorship at UGA established in his name. In January 1961, Charlayne Hunter (now Hunter-Gault) became the first African-American woman admitted to the University of Georgia. After graduating in 1963, Hunter-Gault went on to become an award-winning journalist, respected for her work in television and print with such major outlets as CNN, NPR and The New York Times. Among other honors, she is a two-time winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for broadcast excellence.

  • Past Reflections Propel Forward Vision FOREWORD
    Fall 2013 www.cau.edu MAGAZINE Firsts of the CAU family... ...the vision unfolds. CLARK ATLANTA UNIVERSITY At the cutting edge! CELEBRATES ITS 25TH ANNIVERSARY PAST REFLECTIONS PROPEL FORWARD VISION FOREWORD Celebrating CAU: A Sterling Idea It is my great fortune to be at the helm of this magnificent institution on the occasion of our 25th anniversary. In 1988, our parent institutions, Atlanta University (1865) and Clark College (1869), consolidated to become what was appropri- ately characterized as “one exceptional University.” I am often asked what makes a university great. The question is easy to answer. We pride ourselves on the fact that, despite protracted economic pressures and monumental paradigm shifts in higher education, this institution continues to set high standards for a progressive, student-centered, research-focused, service-oriented university experience. The better question ponders what makes a university excep- HOMAS T ay tional. I believe we are exceptional for at least two reasons. J First, Clark Atlanta excels in the education of global change agents. We continue to produce leaders of integrity, professional excellence, intellectual depth and social consciousness. But the Clark Atlanta pedigree is such that our leaders do more than lead. They change the game. Our 2013 MBA Case Team, for example, recently topped 30 other national universities to win first-place and $25,000 in this year’s National Black MBA Association/Chrysler Case Competition. That is exceptional! We also are exceptional in that we have accomplished in 25 years what some have not in a century. On July 1, 1988, Clark College alumnus and Board Chair Carl Ware and Atlanta University Board Chair Thomas Cordy formalized the consoli- dation of Clark Atlanta University.

In 2018, she received the President’s Medal – one of UGA’s highest recognitions. In February 2020, UGA named their College of Education in her honor.
