From the Agnes Scott Communication Office…

Gay Johnson McDougall enrolled at Agnes Scott College in 1965 as its first black student but transferred two years later.

“They [Agnes Scott] weren’t ready for me and I wasn’t ready for them,” McDougall said.

She returns to the college May 8 for its 121st Commencement when Agnes Scott will present McDougall with an honorary degree recognizing her distinguished career as a world-renowned attorney and advocate for international human rights. McDougall, the United Nations’ Independent Expert on Minority Issues, will deliver the charge to the approximately 200 graduates in the class of 2010.
