March 23: CAU Alumni Association Spirit of Greatness Gala

Clark Atlanta University and the Clark Atlanta University Alumni Association, Inc. (CAUAA) will host its 11th annual Spirit of Greatness Gala recognizing alumni and pioneers who are making a positive impact in the nation Saturday, March 23, 2019 at the Hyatt Regency Atlanta Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia. The general reception begins at 6:15 p.m., and the awards ceremony starts promptly at 7:30 p.m. 

 

“This academic year, we have been celebrating our 30th anniversary as an innovative institution of higher education,” said CAU Interim President, Lucille H. Maugé. “Our graduates have shaped and informed the course of history for more than 150 years, and we are honored to support and celebrate their excellence.” The gala is CAUAA’s signature event and benefits the Clark Atlanta University’s Scholarship Fund. Since the inception of the Spirit of Greatness Gala, CAUAA has raised more than $1.5 million for CAU students.

“The Clark Atlanta University Alumni Association, Inc. takes pride in honoring our distinguished alumni and nation’s trailblazers each year, while raising funds to support the next generation of leaders who are currently matriculating through CAU,” said Devin White, President of CAUAA. “Each year the number of students with unmet financial needs increases.
