Left to right: Spelman College President Mary Schmidt Campbell; Georgia State University President Mark Becker; Agnes Scott’s Kiss; Emory University President Claire Sterk; Clayton State University President Tim Hynes; and Clark Atlanta University President Ronald Johnson. Oglethorpe University President Larry Schall had already left the reception, which included top Atlanta leaders. The reception was hosted by former Coca-Cola executives Clyde Tuggle and Ingrid Saunders Jones. After 12 years, Kiss, a Rhodes scholar, is leaving Agnes Scott on June 30th to become the new warden and CEO of the Rhodes Trust in Oxford, England, the first woman to hold that position.
