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 offering 40 academic programs to nearly 4,000 students annually, launching a comprehensive $250 million fundraising campaign, experiencing record-breaking student applications, and generating substantial economic impact for Georgia through $541 million in combined gross sales and 3,282 jobs. The resolution also commends CAU's academic and research contributions, such as its Center for Cancer Research and Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurial Development, and celebrates its community engagement, notable alumni, and leadership under President Dr. George T. French Jr. The House of Representatives formally recognizes the university's importance, authorizes the distribution of copies of the resolution to CAU and its president, and officially establishes the special day of recognition at the state capitol.
