Clark Atlanta University is paying tribute to an alumnus and former faculty member who was shot and killed on a California technical college campus earlier this month.

The HBCU announced on Wednesday the death of Dr. Cameisha Clark, 35, a former Office of Retention worker and seminar professor for the university. In a press release on Wednesday, CAU officials described her as “a leader, advocate, and beacon of excellence, resilience, and service.”

Clark first arrived at CAU in 2007, where she would later earn degrees in 2011, 2013 and 2020. She is the granddaughter of faculty emerita and former interim provost and vice president for academic affairs Dr. Bettye Clark.
