Executive Director	Dr. Agenia Clark
E-mail	President@Fisk.edu
Term Start	November 2023
Agenia's Experience: Dr. Agenia Walker Clark serves as Fisk University's third female head and the 18th president of the 158-year-old-university, one of the nation's highest-ranking Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Dr. Clark most recently served as CEO for the Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee - where, during her 19-year tenure, she increased the agency's operational efficiencies, increased its reserves, built new facilities, and transformed the agency into one of the highest performing of the 111 councils in the Girl Scout network. "Dr. Clark's lifelong dedication to improving the lives of young people, along with her unique combination of fundraising and brand-building skills, are exactly what Fisk needs today," said Juliette Pryor, chair of the Fisk Board of Trustees. "I know that Dr. Clark's bold ideas will positively impact our campus community today while assuring a fast-growing trajectory for the future." Prior to the Girl Scouts, Dr. Clark was the Vice President of Human Resources for the Tennessee Education Lottery Corporation, Senior Director of Human Resources at Vanderbilt University and directed human resources for Canadian telecommunications provider Nortel Networks, where she also served as a manager of government relations. "To serve a new generation of brilliant, socially minded students-not unlike their counterparts of decades past, like W.E.B. Du Bois, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, John Lewis and Dr. Diane Nash-is surely the honor of my lifetime," said Clark. "No institution of higher-ed has a richer legacy-or a richer promise for the future-than Fisk." Dr. Clark was named "Nashvillian of the Year" in 2021 and as one of "Nashville's 100 Most Powerful People," 2015-2020, by the Nashville Business Journal.
