15-Year-Old Becomes One Of The Youngest To Ever Attend Clark Atlanta University

— At just 15 years old, a Tennessee teen just became one of the youngest students ever to start classes at Clark Atlanta University.

Emory Pruitt, who has since turned 16, joined the class of 2020 this fall as one of the youngest students ever at the historically black college in Atlanta. Officials said she is also the youngest student in recent memory.

CAU officials said in a statement that Pruitt graduated with a 3.7 GPA but that her path to college wasn’t easy.

“At her hometown high school, she was mocked for being a young Black woman who dared to dream big,” a CAU spokesperson wrote. “But the racism and adversity, along with strong family support, only strengthened Pruitt’s resolve.
