I loved hosting Clint&#8217;s Dowman hallmate, Rev. Dr. Carlton Johnson, and their fellow Emory alumnus Rickey Adger. These generous men spent three hours with students from the Pre-Law Club and the Black Student Alliance&#8212;laughing, speaking truth, encouraging, listening, answering questions, sharing life advice, and telling stories about Oxford 40 years ago. Special thanks to Dr. Wade Manora, Tola Omotayo, and Lauren Wald for organizing the dinner and to Tammy Canfield, Director of Alumni Engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7361\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/48C1ACD2-7DEC-48E1-B001-302CD2D711C2_1_102_a-818x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7361\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7362\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/B61B8BD8-479B-4447-8B1B-4728D673B9C1_1_102_o-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7362\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7363\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/E4E0F056-67DE-45D7-A8AF-24D5CB25B17C_1_102_o-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7363\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7365\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/42F8671C-BABC-4C02-A891-E5CA97A5E2D6_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7365\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7366\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/1A9E6943-CB26-44FB-AE39-B4E74DA38884_1_105_c-754x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7366\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7367\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/2915E018-D50D-4089-B9EB-BCDDBD1AE036_1_102_a-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7367\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7368\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/929598CF-F118-43ED-9E2E-ED478E7A89F7_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7368\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7369\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/1F19C8B4-5B70-4575-8876-78FAE5894BA9_1_102_a-780x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7369\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7370\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/9D0A7BBE-D56B-4AE4-A3FE-314ACCE8D463_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7370\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7371\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/DD53C7DD-6FEE-4911-BFB5-4D76ACB382F3_1_105_c-1024x438.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7371\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7372\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/13413CA8-062E-4479-B660-85770B60F1A8_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7372\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7373\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/B0A9009C-1A94-4D8E-9B99-E07949A21468_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7373\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7374\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/98F748EB-6C79-4EF5-ACDF-F9E1233A29A8_1_105_c-1024x691.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7374\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7375\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/D3A1E556-5429-412D-90B1-8BDC0888AC19_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7375\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7376\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/4F78C20B-297C-4863-9E5D-734186844B18_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7376\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"7377\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.gatech.edu\/lmc-higinbotham\/files\/2023\/11\/795E5C74-0CFE-41FC-A8E6-DBAD11D45DF5_1_105_c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7377\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every time Judge Clint Rucker visits his alma mater, I am inspired to be a better mentor and a more generous human being.
