Agnes Scott Presidency
At the beginning of her presidency in 1995, Bullock initiated a campaign to increase the student population of Agnes Scott College to over 1,000 students. In Bullock's final year of presidency, the college reached her goal: the student population was at 1,032, up from 608 students in 1995.
As President of Agnes Scott College, Bullock created a true legacy and initiated the largest campaign in the college's history: a building program which renovated many of the historic buildings at Agnes Scott and built several new structures. The McCain Library was enlarged and new technology was introduced; the Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall was dramatically redesigned and renovated; and a new parking deck with an adjacent Public Safety Office were added as well. Additionally, Bullock oversaw a large addition to the Bradley Observatory, including a 75-seat planetarium with a Zeiss projector system, and a LIDAR laboratory. The biggest structural achievement during Bullock's reign was the $36.5 million Science Center that includes a three-story length painting of Agnes Scott's actual DNA, along with state-of-the-art equipment in all the labs. In a naming ceremony in January 2006, the Science Center became Mary Brown Bullock Science Center. She also succeeded in creating a strong endowment plan and increased funds for aesthetic and technological improvements designed to boost its national reputation.
Bullock currently lives with her husband, George, an energy consultant, in Decatur, GA, near Atlanta.

Famous quotes containing the words scott and/or presidency:
“The men—the undergraduates of Yale and Princeton are cleaner, healthier, better-looking, better dressed, wealthier and more attractive than any undergraduate body in the country.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“Some of the offers that have come to me would never have come if I had not been President. That means these people are trying to hire not Calvin Coolidge, but a former President of the United States. I can’t make that kind of use of the office.... I can’t do anything that might take away from the Presidency any of its dignity, or any of the faith people have in it.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
