Amplify - the CAU Alumni Newsletter
Greetings Panthers,
I hope your holiday season was filled with moments of rest, reflection, and meaningful connection, and that the memories created during this special time continue to inspire all that you do throughout the year.
As we step into 2026, I want to pause and express my heartfelt gratitude to the Clark Atlanta University alumni family for your continued generosity of time, talent, and treasure. Because of your commitment, our students are able to pursue their dreams and work toward degrees that prepare them to thrive in a global marketplace.
I invite you to take a few moments to watch President French’s video message, where he shares his personal appreciation for your support and outlines his vision for the spring semester. Like President French, I am truly excited about what lies ahead for Clark Atlanta University, and I hope you will continue to be part of what makes CAU so special.
Recently, I heard a powerful message about purpose that truly stayed with me, and I felt compelled to share it with you. As alumni of this extraordinary institution, we share a common purpose: supporting the University’s mission and helping our students succeed. Whether you give through mentorship, service, advocacy, or financial support, whether in small ways or bold commitments, what matters most is the collective impact we create together.
With that in mind, whether you have been actively engaged as an alumna or alumnus or are looking for new ways to connect, the new year offers an opportunity for a fresh start, an invitation to walk in your purpose as part of the CAU family. We look forward to seeing you, connecting with you, and continuing this journey together.
In purpose,
Lorri L. Saddler, Ed.D.
Vice President | Chief Alumni Engagement Officer
