Clark Atlanta University – A Legacy of Excellence in Every Frame

Clark Atlanta University (CAU) stands as a beacon of innovation, academic rigor, and community engagement. Nestled in the heart of Atlanta, CAU has been a driving force behind education, civil rights, and the cultural resurgence of the city. Known for its world-class programs in business, the arts, and social sciences, CAU continues to uphold its legacy as a premier institution of higher learning.

**A University That Shapes History**  

The unique combination of Clark College and Atlanta University in 1988 formed a unified institution that now leads in fostering leadership and creativity across the city. With alumni making strides in various fields—ranging from politics to entertainment—CAU has earned its place in history as a breeding ground for talent and change-makers. The annual Clark Atlanta University Homecoming and Founders Day festivities are some of the most celebrated events in Atlanta, embodying the spirit of resilience, excellence, and pride that CAU is known for.

**Memorable Moments Captured Forever**  

Mr. Curtis McDowell, a skilled photographer with a deep connection to Atlanta’s HBCU community, has been the visual narrator for CAU’s most memorable moments. His work with Clark Atlanta spans years, capturing milestone events from student life to alumni achievements, all through a unique and soulful lens. McDowell’s photography at Homecomings, convocations, and student showcases brings to life the energy and diversity of the CAU experience. 

Through his photos, McDowell has helped immortalize CAU’s rich history, its vibrant campus culture, and the profound impact it has on its students. "There’s nothing quite like seeing the joy, pride, and determination of CAU students in real-time," McDowell reflects. "It's an honor to document such a transformative chapter of their lives."
