Why ����ϣ������?

“Having served in higher education for over 2 decades in PWIs, I was aware of and understood, conceptually, the importance of HBCUs. It was not until I was recruited directly by the President of Clark Atlanta University in 2010 and joined CAU that I fully understood and passionately embraced the mission of HBCUs. I witnessed, firsthand, the remarkable transformation of our students and their upward economic and social mobility in a way I had never seen at PWIs. I am driven to use my gifts, talents and experience to impact the compliance culture at ����ϣ������ to one of maximum strength.”
