A Message From Our President

Agnes Scott is a magical place—one that gives you all the ingredients for a life-changing journey that will enable you to lead, to succeed and to find your own ways to change the world and make it a better place.

Agnes Scott produces leaders—leaders who are prepared to make a difference in this complex global world of ours. They include the former Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court, CEO of Ann Taylor, CIO of Norfolk Southern Railroad and president of Georgia AT&T. Agnes Scott women of all generations exemplify our mission in their lives—they think deeply, live honorably and engage the intellectual and social challenges of their times.

At Agnes Scott you will find a beautiful mosaic of cultures, races, ethnicities and religions. Here we help you aim high and climb high and become a better, stronger, more confident and thoughtful version of yourself. We also help you become a global citizen who understands the complex dynamics of our 21st-century global society.

The magic of Agnes Scott is even more powerful through SUMMIT—a true 21st-century college experience where every student, regardless of her major, benefits from a curriculum focused on global learning and leadership development, supported by a personal Board of Advisors.

It all comes together at Agnes Scott—the liberal arts learning environment, the unique emphasis on global learning and leadership, the sense of purpose and ethics, the lifelong bonds of sisterhood and the inspiration and support to lead and make a difference in the world. That’s what the magic of Agnes Scott is all about!

—President Leocadia I. Zak
