Today is the 132nd anniversary of the founding of
Spelman College, pictured above in 1884 and 2012. While I did not attend Spelman (shout out to
Howard University), I'm a native of Atlanta and spent many years attending various programs and events on this campus and others in the
Atlanta University Center.
Class of 1892
Seeing women of African descent excelling intellectually and culturally has always had a profound impact on my development. After years editing consumer magazines, I never had any idea that I would end up in higher education. But I am so proud - and thankful - to work at Spelman and support the important mission of this incredible institution.
Class of 2012
