This resolution recognizes Clark Atlanta University (CAU), a historically Black university established in 1988 through the consolidation of Atlanta University and Clark University, and designates February 18, 2025, as Clark Atlanta University Day at the state capitol. The resolution highlights the university's significant achievements, including being the first four-year liberal arts college primarily serving African American students, offering 40 academic programs to nearly 4,000 students annually, and launching a comprehensive $250 million fundraising campaign focused on student support, research, and addressing social issues. The resolution also emphasizes CAU's economic impact of $541 million in Georgia, its impressive research centers like the Center for Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development, and its commitment to community service. Additionally, the resolution commends CAU's president, Dr. George T. French Jr., for his leadership and notes the university's notable alumni who have made significant contributions to Georgia and the United States. The resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the university and its president, formally recognizing CAU's contributions to education, research, and community development.
