A surprise on stage at the 7th Annual Women’s Global Leadership Conference: the Delta Air Lines Foundation has committed $1 million to Global Journeys, the program that sends every Agnes Scott first-year student on a faculty-led trip at no additional cost.

That brings the Foundation’s investment in Summit to $2 million.

Thank you, Delta Air Lines and Gail Grimmett of Delta Flight Museum, for believing in Scotties. Read more: https://news.agnesscott.org/agnes-scott-in-the-news/the-delta-air-lines-foundation-commits-1-million-grant-to-agnes-scott-college/

The Scottie community showed up at the Decatur Book Festival today! 📚

How special to have one of the country’s largest independent book festivals right in our backyard, and even more special to see so many Scotties out enjoying it.

Decatur has a way of bringing people together. And wherever Scotties are, they have a way of finding one another. 💜

Returning to Kenya as a Hubert Scholar meant more than coming home for Leocadia W. ’27 (she/they). They were giving back to a community that has always been a part of them.

As a q***r person who grew up in Nairobi, Leocadia has long wanted to support Kenya’s LGBTQ+ community. This summer, she returned to Nairobi as a Hubert Scholar, completing an 11-week internship with Queerhive Kenya, a q***r feminist nonprofit focused on the health, well-being, safety and security of le***an, bisexual and q***r women and gender-nonconforming individuals.

During her time with Queerhive Kenya, Leocadia helped organize advocacy and wellness events, collaborated with activists and community organizations and supported individuals navigating emergency situations. She also helped organize an embodied healing workshop for q***r survivors of human trafficking.

One of the most meaningful parts of the experience was seeing the tangible impact of creating intentional, safe spaces where people can be themselves without fear of discrimination.

The experience also deepened her understanding of what it means to create change at the grassroots level.

“I definitely feel strongly that it is part of my purpose to go back and serve this community again,” they said.

Their time at Agnes Scott, including their studies in Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, has helped prepare them for the experience, while the Hubert Scholarship allowed them to put those values into action.

As we celebrate Atlanta Pride Month, we’re proud to highlight a Scottie whose commitment to community extends across borders and whose experience in Kenya will continue to shape how they approach change-making, service and their future.

Did you know? At Agnes Scott, you have more than an advisor- you have an entire team.

Your advising team includes an academic advisor, a peer advisor, a major advisor and a career coach. Together, they help connect your individual goals to the many possibilities available on campus, in the Atlanta area and beyond.

"The academic advising department has not only helped me navigate my journey on an academic level, but on a personal level as well," said Paige W. '27.

That personalized support is part of what makes the Scottie first-year experience stand out. For the second consecutive year, Agnes Scott is ranked no. 2 in the nation for First-Year Experiences by US News & World Report.

The future of healthcare is shaped by the women willing to ask what’s possible and then build what comes next. Will you be one of them?

With a theme of Innovation Inspiration, Agnes Scott's 2026 Women’s Global Leadership Conference will include a panel of pioneering women who are working at the forefront of medicine, healthcare innovation and leadership.

From groundbreaking research and medical advances to new approaches to delivering care, panelists will explore how innovation can transform lives—and what it takes to turn breakthrough ideas into lasting change.

Moderated by Shannon Sale of Grady, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of Grady Health System, the conversation will feature:

Doris Taylor, Regenerative Medicine Pioneer
Dr. Jeannette Guarner, Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Emory University School of Medicine
Kathryn Lawler, CEO of Saint Joseph's Mercy Care

The future of healthcare demands creativity, determination and courage. Join us on October 6, 2026, at 9 a.m. for this and many more inspirational conversations. See the full agenda and register at https://www.agnesscott.edu/womens-global-leadership-conference/

Opportunity goes beyond getting into college. At Agnes Scott, you'll have the support, experiences and connections to move forward once you’re here.

That means gaining real-world experience through internships and mentored research, building relationships through our alumnae network and finding the guidance to turn your goals into a plan for what comes next.

Ranked Top 10 for Social Mobility among National Liberal Arts Colleges by US News & World Report, the results speak for themselves: 92% of Agnes Scott graduates are employed or enrolled in graduate school within one year of graduation, and 83% complete at least one internship or mentored research experience. Two-thirds of graduates also say alumnae positively impacted their ability to meet their post-graduation goals.

From careers at organizations like Amazon, Deloitte, IBM and the Federal Reserve to graduate programs at Brown, Cornell, Duke, Johns Hopkins and Georgia Tech, Scotties are building futures that reflect where they want to go.
