Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and Parents,
I am very sorry to inform you of the death of a Spelman student, Jasmine Lynn C’2012. Words cannot express the sadness I feel about the tragic loss of Jasmine’s life, the result of senseless violence. Jasmine was an innocent bystander struck by gunfire early this morning in the vicinity of the CAU Commons. On behalf of the entire Spelman College community, I want to express our deepest sympathy to Jasmine’s family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time of grief. The Spelman College flag will be flown at half-mast today in Jasmine’s honor. We will share information regarding funeral services as soon as it is available.

With deep sorrow,
Beverly Daniel Tatum
President, Spelman College
