US Airways - August 2014 - (Page 181)

Summit's multi-pronged approach to education is tailored to a student's academic aspirations: As a student pursues a ﬁeld, she'll apply her interests within the framework of leadership and a global perspective. And she gets to decide the proportions of each. For example, if a student decides to study studio art, she would have both a professor and a professional as advisors - say, a practicing artist or a gallery owner. She might study abroad in Paris, thereby fulﬁlling her global commitment. Perhaps she'll intern at the Museum of Modern Art (as some students have), or learn about arts management, or open her own gallery. Others will have the opportunity to gain experience at global enterprises like Coca-Cola, Turner Broadcasting, or the Centers for Disease Control - just a MARTA stop away in downtown Atlanta. Agnes Scott understands that everyone has a different leadership style. While some are the take-charge types, others prefer to exert quiet inﬂuence from within the ranks. Whatever discipline an Agnes Scott woman chooses to study and whatever direction she takes it, she will join the ranks of other great alumnae: Jean H. Toal '65, Chief Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court; Jessica Daves Parker 1914, editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine Agnes Scott College: Committed to global learning and leadership development. from 1952-1962; Katherine L. Krill '77, CEO of Ann Taylor; and Jennifer Nettles '97, lead singer of the band Sugarland. Agnes Scott is consistently ranked highly by The Princeton Review and U.S. News and World Report, and for good reason. Some 48 percent of students study abroad, 92 percent of those who apply to graduate schools are accepted, 62 percent participate in internships, and 53 percent receive at least one job offer at graduation. Such ﬁgures can only supplement the reality of Agnes Scott - a place where young women are encouraged to ﬁnd their own voice and think globally. Summit assures that no matter what direction a student takes after graduation, more mountaintop experiences await. Top left: the original gateway arch.
