Mary Brown Bullock was appointed as the seventh president of the Agnes Scott College on 25 January 1995 and began her duties on 1 July 1995.[3] At the beginning of her presidency,Bullock initiated a campaign to increase the student population of Agnes Scott College to over 1,000 students.[3] 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.
