ATLANTA, GA – February 7, 2020 -- Clark Atlanta University (CAU) announces this year’s CAU Day at the Capitol, Tuesday, February 18, 2020. During this advocacy event, CAU President George T.

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 (CCRTD); and be exposed to entrepreneurial gains by School of Business students.
