ATLANTA, GA – January 28, 2019 -- Clark Atlanta University announces this year’s CAU Day at the Capitol Wednesday, February 13, 2019. During this spectacular event, CAU interim President Lucille Mauge will be presented with proclamations in the Ga.

Legislators will see firsthand the accomplishments of award-winning media CAU-TV and WCLK-FM, learn about groundbreaking research being conducted at the Center for Cancer Research and Therapeutic Development and be exposed to entrepreneurial gains by School of Business students. They will also witness the great strides being made to level the playing field in STEM careers, which are underrepresented by black professionals.
