As the 15th President of Bennett College for Women, Dr. Julianne Malveaux has been the architect of exciting and innovative transformation at America’s oldest historically black college for women. Under her leadership, the administration has identified four key focus areas: women’s leadership, entrepreneurship, excellence in communications, and global awareness. In the three short years of her presidency, Bennett College has successfully received a 10-year reaffirmation of its accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, markedly improved existing facilities, embarked on a $21 million capital improvements program – which marks the first major campus construction in more than 25 years – and in fall 2009 enjoys an historic enrollment high. Moreover, the campus is alive and invigorated with a new sense of purpose and passion, as the Bennett College community embraces its commitment to create an oasis where women are educated, celebrated, and transformed into 21st century leaders and global thinkers.
