Michael L. Lomax

s president and chief executive officer of the United Negro
College Fund (UNCF), Dr. Michael L. Lomax heads the
nation’s largest and most successful minority higher
education assistance organization. Through its headquarters in
Fairfax, Virginia, and 24 field offices across the country, UNCF
annually provides operating and program funds to its 39 member
private historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and
their 55,000 students. In addition, it manages more than 400
scholarship programs that support approximately 8,000 students at
over 900 of the nation’s colleges and universities. In the course of its
64-year history, UNCF has raised and distributed over $2.5 billion
and has assisted over 300,000 students in earning undergraduate
degrees. In 1999, UNCF received over $1 billion, the largest private
gift to American higher education, from the Bill & Melinda Gates
Foundation to administer the Gates Millennium Scholars program,
which provides outstanding minority students with an opportunity
to complete their undergraduate and graduate college educations.
A
Michael L. Lomax
Dr. Lomax joined UNCF after serving in a series of high-level academic and political positions.
Immediately before joining UNCF, he served seven years as president of Dillard University in New
Orleans.
Dr. Lomax went to Dillard after thirty years in Atlanta, where he pursued simultaneous full-time
careers as a university professor and public servant. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Atlanta’s
Morehouse College (the alma mater of Dr. Martin Luther King) and, after receiving his M.A. degree
from Columbia University and his Ph.D. in American and African American literature from Emory
University, taught literature at Morehouse and Spelman Colleges and the University of Georgia.
At the same time, he became a prominent figure in Atlanta government and politics. He began his
public service as an assistant to Maynard Jackson, Atlanta’s first African American mayor, and went
on to serve as the first head of Atlanta’s Bureau of Cultural Affairs. In 1978, he was elected to the
Fulton County Board of Commissioners. Two years later, he became the Board’s chairman, the first
African American ever to hold that position and served in that position for twelve years.
Dr. Lomax is a trustee of Emory University, a member of the founding Council of the Smithsonian
Institution’s National Museum of African American History and Culture, and a member of the
Boards of Directors of Teach for America, The KIPP Foundation, The Carter Center, the High
Museum of Art in Atlanta, the Studio Museum in Harlem, The Bill T. Jones Dance Company and the
National Black Arts Festival, of which he was founding chair. President George W. Bush appointed
him to the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities. He has also
received numerous awards including The Laurel Crowned Circle Award from Omicron Delta Kappa
(2006), the distinguished Emory Medal, the Candle in the Dark award from Morehouse College and
several honorary degrees.
Dr. Lomax and his wife, Cheryl Ferguson Lomax, have two daughters, Michele and Rachel. His oldest
daughter, Deignan, graduated from Dillard University in 2000.
