“We are honored to be selected to host Startup Atlanta’s annual awards program this year,” says Dr. George T. French, Jr., CAU President. “For more than 150 years, CAU and its parent institutions, Atlanta University (1865) and Clark College (1869), have been pioneers in educating and developing leaders who possess an entrepreneurial spirit and who have created businesses from the ground up. This collaborative effort is in line with CAU’s five strategic pillars of Excellence, Engagement, Discovery, Creativity, and Service.”
"We’re excited to partner with Clark Atlanta University and the RCIE to celebrate the entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders who make this city great," said Adam Harrell, Board Chair at Startup Atlanta.
