Clark Atlanta University Day; recognize February 18, 2025
This resolution (SR 170) designates February 18, 2025, as "Clark Atlanta University Day" at the Georgia state capitol. It formally recognizes the university's historical significance as the nation's first four-year liberal arts college serving a primarily African American student population, its current contributions to Georgia's economy ($541 million annual impact), and its academic programs and community engagement. The resolution does not create new laws or policies; it is a commemorative gesture honoring the institution's role in education, research, and community service. The Senate directs the Secretary to provide copies to Clark Atlanta University and its president.
