Clark Atlanta University Announces $250m Capital Campaign

CAU President George T. French

The HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), Clark Atlanta University, is embarking on a $250 million capital campaign.  A few of the initiatives include innovative research to help cure prostate cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, create new pathways in cybersecurity, create new avenues of entrepreneurship, and to find new ways to eradicate social and racial injustices.

The capital campaign will support:

  • Scholarships & Student Success
  • Teaching, Research and Service
  • The CAU Endowment (e.g., Endowed Chairs, Professorships, and Scholarships)
  • Infrastructure and Technology
  • Programs, Centers and Special Initiatives 

Clark Atlanta University (CAU) was the nation’s first institution to award graduate degrees to African Americans and was the nation’s first four-year liberal arts college to serve a primarily African American student population. Today, with over 4000 students, representing 9 countries, CAU is the largest of the four institutions (CAU, Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Morehouse School of Medicine) that comprise the Atlanta University Center Consortium. Clark Atlanta University is also the largest of the 37-member United Negro College Fund (UNCF) institutions.
