Agnes Scott College History Department

Warmest congratulations to History alum Leandra Colley '20 who just earned her J.D. from Georgia State University School of Law!! Leandra notes "I wouldn’t be here making connections with these wonderful women without Agnes," and was especially excited to be hooded by her mentor Prof. Erica Byrd, Agnes Scott Class of 2009. We're so proud of you, Leandra and can't wait to see what you will do next!

Exam stress getting to you? Sounds like you need to hear about the puppy cam the wonderful folks at Denali National Park have set up so we can follow the journey of their new sled dog litter!
