Agnes Scott College

"Our students arrive with potential, which we can help shape into ethical awareness."

Why I Support the Agnes Advantage
I tell students, "You are the researcher. Go into the community and test what we’ve explored in the classroom. Do the theoretical models fit, or not? Do they need to be expanded?" We have such a strong, diverse community of budding scholars. Before these young women leave Agnes Scott, they must be equipped to collaborate with other people, agencies, organizations. I always ask myself, "How can we help every student have the ultimate experience while here?"
