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.
