What a wonderful month this has been. It has been a privilege this Black History Month to celebrate the contributions of Black STEM professionals. To close out the month, we're celebrating the legacy of Dr. Thomas W. Cole, Jr.
"Dr. Thomas W. Cole, Jr., the founding president of Clark Atlanta University, earned his B.S. degree from Wiley College, Summa Cum Laude and his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry from the University of Chicago.
He studied with Dr. P. E. Eaton and they were the first chemists to synthesize Cubane in 1964. The synthesis of Cubane, a highly strained cubic carbon-based molecule, was thought at one time to be impossible, much like the consolidation of Clark College and Atlanta University.
However, Dr. Thomas W. Cole, Jr. achieved impossible feats throughout his administrative, academic, and scientific career."
