The Spelman Community Salutes Robert "Danny" Flanigan Jr.

To Danny's wife, Lois, his son, Robbie, loved ones, and the Spelman community,

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Danny. I have worked with Danny throughout the years via NACUBO, SACUBO, US DOE. Danny was a joy to work with. He always had a huge smile accompanied by many jokes. The higher education finance world will miss his expertise, round table discussions and critical thinking necessary to undertake all of the challenges that we face. Rest well my friend! You will always be remembered with love and admiration!
-- Dawn Robinson, MAcc

I met Danny through our fellow engagement in service to The Paideia School. His investment skills were apparent, as was the deep respect all who crossed paths with him held. As I became more involved with the Spelman community, I witnessed the enormous contributions to his beloved Spelman that Danny made. He was one of the most thoughtful, generous and approachable people I knew. What a loss to Atlanta.

My sincere condolences to his family and the wide circle of friends who were blessed to know him.
-- Virginia A Hepner

At the time, Kassandra Jolley, the new vice president for Institutional Advancement and I -- a new executive assistant, made the mistake of having Kassandra sign contracts binding Spelman financially to some projects. Danny immediately called me up to his office and gave me a lesson on who had the "fiduciary responsibility" to sign contracts on behalf the College. A lesson I never forgot and we became fast friends after that conversation. I will miss him dearly.
-- Naima Porter-Sparks

I knew Danny for over 35 years. Having served on several committees with him, I knew him to be a tough task-master who never minced words. He focused on getting things done and I knew that I could completely trust in his leadership, his guidance, his sense of humor, and his friendship. He was a driving force behind Spelman and helped make the college the highly esteemed and financially stable institution it is today. He will be missed tremendously.
-- Lisa Hibbard

What a life well lived and a difference well made. I went to Clark with Danny and he was an Amazing Human being. What a blessing he is and was to Spelman. God allowed him to spend all of his working life in a place he loved and making a true difference in our world. Think about all the lives he touched. It don't get no better than that! RIP Brother Danny. Job Well Done!
-- Kenneth Payne

On the loss of Danny, my spirit is broken. However, I have some comfort in knowing that he's in a better place and at rest. Not only was he my boss, in my life he wore many hats. Danny was a true friend, mentor, counselor, a shoulder to cry on and like a big brother to me. He will be forever missed. Danny Flanigan loved Spelman College and this was evident by his pride and hard work to keep the institution strong. Heaven just gained another angel.
-- Mary Lakeru

I am saddened by the news of this loss. Like a tree with roots that grow deep and branches that stretch wide, Danny Flanagan has been standing at Spelman, deep and wide, anchoring our institution for such a long time, with much wisdom, direction, and delight. Well respected and True Blue!! One of Spelman’s most treasured trees has fallen. Deepest sympathy to the Flanagan Family and to our Spelman community.
-- Angela Farris Watkins, Assoc. Professor of Psychology, Faculty Council President, C’86

Danny was known to be one of the smartest finance people in higher education; Spelman benefitted from his brilliance in so many ways and loyalty. We will miss him. Condolences to Lois and Robbie.
-- Yvonne R. Jackson

A man of extraordinary commitment has left of a legacy to be cherished.
-- Romie Tribble, Professor of Economics

Danny was the consummate professional, a financial wiz, and beloved relative and friend. Every time I visited campus, I always visited him to get the pulse of the campus and laugh at his humorous anecdotes. My sympathies to all those who loved him. Rest in peace, Cousin.
-- Cynthia Guthrie Johnson, C'77

I was a recipient of the Robert Danny Flanigan Endowed Scholarship, and it totally transformed my life. After receiving the scholarship, I visited with Mr. Flanigan, and he was so friendly and gracious. Meeting him made me that more excited to have been a recipient. I will never forget his kindness. I am forever grateful for his time, commitment, and dedication to Spelman College. Thank you, Mr. Flanigan
-- Millicent Grant, C'2011

This is heartbreaking news. Before I began studying at Spelman, I knew Danny as my neighbor. The Flanigan family welcomed us when we moved in and Danny was always a source of joy and light. His kindness will not be forgotten. -- Donyelle McCray C'96
"You see that smile?" That was Danny's response to me every time I said to him, "You're still here?" I worked with him at Spelman in the 70's and over the decades, I would say that to him whenever I visited our campus. What a wonderful asset was Danny. What a serious loss for all who came into his life circle. Sincerest condolences to his family and to Spelman.
-- Delores L Parker Crockett C'69

Danny's death is not only a terrible loss to Spelman College, but to the entire Atlanta Community. He was one of our truly great members. So long, dear friend of many years ago.
-- Bob Silverman

Thank you for your Leadership and Exemplary support of Spelman College.
-- Jackie James

My condolences to the Flannigan and Spelman families on the passing of my dear friend, Danny. I first met Danny in 1988 at a NACUBO Conference. Over the years, I came to appreciate his leadership and financial acumen while serving together on several national higher education committees. I also found Danny’s willingness to mentor and share his advice on higher education finances as being paramount to my successful tenures as CFO at Lincoln, Cheyney, and Bowie. He will always be remembered as a transformational leader, not only at Spelman, but throughout the higher education community.
-- Karl Brockenebrough, RET CFO, Bowie State

🙏🏾I am saddened beyond words. Danny Flanigan was there when I entered Spelman in 1971. He was always a "constant" spirit of kindness and professionalism. My prayers to his family, the Spelman family, and to Spelman supporters. 🙏🏾
-- Brenda C. Siler, C'75

My heart is heavy at hearing the news of Danny's passing, but as my Grandmother would always say when someone we cherished died, "God wants the good ones, too." His contributions to SACSCOC and the quality of higher education all across the Southern region will live on for many, many years. He was always ready to serve when we asked him to do so. His warmth and dedication to quality will truly be missed. Rest in Peace, my friend.
-- Belle Wheelan

I met Danny Flanigan as a Spelman student working in the Financial Aid Office. Not only did his example of leadership in financial accuracy and accountability impress me but his example led me to pursue an MBA in Finance and a career as a Chief Financial Officer. He always made time to support operational efficiency and innovative improvement ideas. I remember how happy he was when years later I ran into him at a National Association of College and University Business Officers Meeting. His smile widened when I told him how much he inspired me by his commitment to improving operations at Spelman. I am sure that so many others have been positively influenced by his example! Deep condolences to his family, the Spelman Community and may he rest in eternal peace!
-- Jacque Clarke Bell

So many Spelman sisters owe you a life of gratitude! I am one of the Black girls who loved Spelman and needed all the financial guidance and aid. Today, I get to say again - Thank you Mr. Danny Flanigan, Jr. for your legacy at Spelman College and for making time for me. You blessed so many of US with financial aid guidance and wisdom! Your financial assistance for all 4- years helped me to complete my journey and dreams to become a Spelman graduate, public servant and alumna! You were stern with me and always right about the money! Rest in power, Brother Flanigan! Well done!
-- Connie F. Smith-Lindsey

My heart is so full of sadness on hearing of the death of , Danny Flanigan. Danny loved Spelman and he never missed an opportunity to assure her success. I had the honor of serving on the Finance Committee with Danny, as a trustee of the College. He welcomed me aboard in my first year and always made me proud as he executed his financial talents . He was a kind, professional and dedicated leader. His smile always lit up any room that he entered.He made everyone that he encountered feel welcome. He was extremely knowledgeable and continued to answer any question that I had , even after leaving the Board. I am saddened at his loss but his legacy will live on for years to come. Danny, well done ! My sympathy to the Flanigan and Spelman families.
-- Rosa K. Kilpatrick, Class of 1970, Former Trustee

My first meeting with Danny Flanigan was so theatrical. When the door flew opened and he greeted me so warmly, I was made immediately comfortable as I was requesting more money for our department. When the meeting finished, he commented on how much energy I had when I entered the room. HA! Energy met energy. My heart was truly saddened to read this news today. Rest in Heavenly Power!
-- Aku Kadogo, Chair of Theater & Performance Department

A colleague, trusted adviser, mentor and friend! I am blessed to have had him in my life for the past eight years and he will be missed by many in the finance world! God Bless Danny.
-- John Case, MSM

When I became chief financial officer of Johnson C. Smith University in 2004 at the age of 32 years old, my president Dr. Dorothy Cowser Yancy introduced me to Robert “Danny” Flanigan. When I first spoke to Danny, he asked how he could help me to figure out higher education as I was coming from the corporate and non profit worlds. I asked if I could shadow him for some time. From there, he invited me and my entire business office team down to Spelman to “shadow” him for a day and a half.

He took me to construction meetings, financing meetings, all the while explaining to me the nuances of what he was bargaining for in the meetings. I have never forgotten that gesture. Through all the career moves I made, he was one of the few people I called both before and after the decisions. He was always looking out for me with positions he thought I was ready for. When I moved to Atlanta to take on the role of EVP at Morehouse College in the Spring of 2019, he was one of the first persons I spoke with to get a lay of the land in the AUCC.

As always his advice and counsel on how to navigate the AUCC was spot on. He had an exceptional financial mind, and watching him over the years, his counsel and advice provided to colleges, presidents and boards of trustees are his legacy to higher education. He is an even a bigger man to always be open to offer advice on a host of topics and lend his expertise for the greater good.

Rest well, Danny and thank you for all that you shared and poured into me and so many others over all these years.
-- Gerald L. Hector

Danny Flanigan possessed a rare ability to make college and university finances not just palatable but "passionable" for the public. He educated and engaged generations of students and alumnae in the work and impact of good stewardship of Spelman's revenue and endowment. As a colleague, he taught me both financial offense and defense when operating from my perspective of friendraising and fundraising.

As I go about my work today, I often encounter people, from HBCUs and institutions of every kind, who call Danny Flanigan a pioneer and innovator in his field. It is not by chance or happenstance that President Albert Manley ushered Danny to Spelman 50 years ago and he stayed the course for the rest of his life. It is simply another way in which God has fulfilled the prayer of the Spelman Hymn for abiding peace and heights supreme to be synonymous with Spelman, including in our finances. Well done, Danny! We promise to continue to raise our financial standards and honor -- in your memory and in the name of Spelman.
-- Eloise Abernathy Alexis, C'86

I remember Mr. Flangin and his kind way of helping students and parents. I was the first in my family to attend college and my mother was so confused and concerned. At my freshman orientation, he spoke to her and helped her understand the financial aspects of my education. He assured her I would be OK. I was, and graduated in 1979. I was so happy to see him still there and working hard for Spelman when my daughter got there. She graduated in 2007. He was committed to the College. He helped Spelman grow. He will be missed. I simply can't imagine Spelman without him. My condolences and prayers to his family. Hold tight to those precious memories. 🙏🏾💙🙏🏾💙
-- Rhonda Benjamin Bland

This is overwhelmingly sad news. It is almost impossible to capture Danny’s impact with many facets of life —-love for family, love for his church and true blue love 💙 for Spelman College! I have had the great fortune to know Danny since 1975 upon entering Spelman as a student. Following graduation, I was afforded more opportunities with Danny as co-workers, Senior Team members, alumna, and the most cherished —- friend! Thank you, dear friend, for being the tenacious person you were. The tears we cry and collective pain we feel, will be softened knowing you are resting in peace, grace and power.
-- Darnita R. KIllian, C’79

It has been a real pleasure getting to know Danny over the past decade; a personality that lingers in the mind: genuine, kind, and with a great sense of humor. The investment record he leaves behind is a proud achievement that will benefit the College for many years to come. On behalf of everyone at Chesapeake, I want to thank Danny for trusting us as partners for all those years and we send our deepest condolences to Lois, Robbie, Rhonda, and all of Danny’s co-workers that will surely miss him dearly. I will personally miss our talks, both professional and personal. As he would often say to me, “So long, man."
-- Gerasimos Efthimiatos

Wow! This is a real shock. I had the pleasure of working with Danny for several years. He was a true professional, a master at his craft and loved Spelman College. We shared being graduates of Clark College. My sincere condolences to his family and the AUCC family as a whole. He will be missed.
-- Kerri Crosby

I can't think of a day at Spelman without Mr. Flanigan. We knew him as one of the many adults at Spelman who became our family away from home. My love and condolences to his family. He loved Spelman and her students as much as anyone. We will miss him and Spelman has lost a very dear family member.
-- Verbena Brown Cummings

Of course I remember Mr. Flanigan, especially at registration time. I did not get in the long registration lines. I went straight to Mr. Flanigan’s office to get the frequently-needed waiver until money arrived from home. He never turned me away. He will always be part of my Spelman story.
-- Kyra Stinson Harvey, C’89

Danny’s love for Spelman was evident in the exceptional way that he made sure my alma mater remained financially sound. Whenever I visited campus, he was never too busy to ask how I was doing. He leaves a great legacy
-- Contessa Smith

I will like to say he will truly be missed. My condolences goes out to him and his family Danney Flanigan was a nice and outspoken man he really is going to be miss at Spelman College.
-- Lucie Lapovsky

Danny was a true friend and colleague. I could always call on him for advice and counsel; and no matter how busy he was, he always took time to listen and share. The world has lost a very kind and generous man.
-- Paulette Myers-Ervin

I first became acquainted with Robert 'Danny' Flanigan whilst waiting for the elevator at the Rockefeller Building. He complimented me on my English accent and I told him that I liked his accent and I would use every opportunity to strike up a conversation to hear his voice. We had a good laugh about it. He was always so professional, friendly and his cheerful presence would light up any room. Danny will be truly missed here at Spelman!
-- Zan McBride-Spence. C‘75

“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.” Albert Einstein I knew Danny when I was a student at Spelman and later as a colleague when I served as director of Alumnae Affairs. He gave so much to his work -- a strategic thinker… a visionary…an earnest leader…Thank you for your endless commitment to Spelman. Our sorrow is lessened only slightly with the comforting thought that we had the privilege to know you. You are true blue! Rest well, Mr. Flannigan.
-- Cindy Brooks Baumgardner, C’90

There are some people you think will always be there. Danny Flanigan was one of them. I was always in awe of his financial expertise and how he kept the institution on an even keel and growing exponentially. We knew we were in good hands. But I was even more in awe of how he was able to do all of this and always be so warm and funny and personable. Above all, I will always remember his smile, his energy and down-to-earth friendliness. My condolences to his family and to his Spelman family. May he enjoy eternal peace - and no more allergies.
-- Kathleen Phillips Lewis

My heart goes out to Danny's family and his Spelman colleagues. Having served with him in the ACS, NACUBO and SACUBO, I respected him as a giant in our field. I will miss so much about Danny, including his deep knowledge of higher ed, but mostly I will miss his wonderful sense of humor. Our world will not be the same without Danny in it.Mary Lou Merkt - Ret. CFO, Furman University

Mr. Flanigan was the perfect gentleman! I would address him by "Mr. Flanigan" but he would quickly say, "It's Danny, Sallie." He always had a kind word to say when you were in his presence. I am truly heartbroken to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences go to his family. We will truly miss him.
-- Sallie Burns

Albert Einstein said, “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.” In one word, Danny Flanigan was a man who gave. He gave much to his family, to the community, his work, to the life of his beloved Spelman College. Danny, we'll remember you with all your special nuances and our memories from all the years that we were privileged to share with you… And today we celebrate you, and cry for you and even laugh because of you… And in all the tomorrows we'll feel you here at Spelman – gone in some ways, but your impact always present. Mrs. Lois and Robbie, my family’s hearts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time.
-- Jihan Lang

Reading the announcement of the passing of Robert "Danny" Flanigan Jr. left me with a heavy heart filled with sadness but also with treasured memories. I have known him since my student days at Spelman and during my 32 years on the faculty at Spelman College. I admired his positive energy, professional integrity, invigorating personality and resonating laugh that was a highlight of my day. It is difficult to recall all of those treasured moments and the tremendous service of Mr. Flanigan, but easy to celebrate his "True Blue" Spelman Spirit. His achievements will continue to ensure "Beacons of Heavenly Light" for Spelman College both now and always.
-- Laura English-Robinson C'68

My heartfelt condolences to the Spelman Family. You have lost a giant.
-- Rachel S Polk

For twenty years, I had the pleasure of working with, and learning from, Danny. He was not only a leader in business and finance but a true friend and mentor. He was a shining star among many in the beloved Spelman College community. May he rest in peace.
-- Jacqueline Pollard

There aren’t enough words to share what Danny meant to me and my family, both professionally and personally. His spirit and influence will remain unmatched at Spelman College. It was an honor to be under his tutelage for 33 years. For those he left to carry on, we were trained well. Rest well my, dear friend.
-- Rhonda L. Honegan

I will never forget that wonderful smile and joyful spirit. Just being in your presence lifted me. It was a pleasure working with you in the AUC over the years. I will miss you, my friend.
-- Lance Dunnings

Danny Flannigan was a very dear colleague. I have known him all of my adult life at Spelman College. Danny began his career at Spelman very young just like me and I saw his progression through the institution as a model to follow. His keen financial insights, strict budget management and sometimes devilish sense of humor have framed my interactions with him over the years. At Spelman, many of us are like family through good and bad times, Danny was family and it goes without saying that he is one whose indelible imprint upon Spelman College is long lasting and irreplaceable. He will be missed.
-- Cynthia Neal Spence

I first met Danny through his affiliation with the 100 Black Men of Atlanta Inc. Danny was a member and I worked for the organization for many years. Danny was always kind and professional, but could make you laugh instantly. Working with him at Spelman has been a continued pleasure and his presence and influence will be greatly missed.
-- Karen D. Roberts

I will remember Danny Flanigan as a warm, brilliant, and funny colleague, who had incredible integrity and had a talent for getting to the heart of the matter. He was incredibly supportive of my work as a professor, scientist and later as an administrator -- I learned so much from him. He was never shy about telling me what he thought I was doing right and what he thought I was doing wrong, and I appreciated hearing both views from him, because I knew that it came with only my best interests at heart. I am deeply saddened by his passing, and am forever grateful for the privilege of having worked with him throughout my time at Spelman.
-- Dolores Bradley-Brennan

Deepest sympathy to the family. I pray that God will keep His loving arms around you and give you strength and comfort.
-- Hattie Moore

Spelman was my first board, and remains my great philanthropic love. Danny introduced me to budgets as reflections of values, and buildings needing to be worthy of the students they served. His impact is immeasurable, as is the sadness of his loss. Only Spelman, Danny’s family, and his friends deserved such a wonderful being.
-- Valerie Rockefeller

Danny was my best colleague ever and loyal friend. The best CFO a provost could have, he always found funds for projects for the faculty and discussed it to understand just why they were needed. We will miss his humor, optimism, and generous spirit. Rest in peace, my friend.
-- Johnnella Butler

Robert (Danny) Flanigan was a remarkable and dedicated individual. Always putting Spelman first! He was "A genius at Financial Affairs!" There will never be another Danny Flanigan! Blessings to his family for sharing him with us.
-- Joyce Thompkins

" When great souls die," memories suddenly engulf us and our hearts become heavy. So it is today. I met Danny years ago, but really had the pleasure of getting to know him when we became educational neighbors. He at Spelman and I at M. Agnes Elementary School. We shared a common goal of making sure students in our neighborhood had a "level playing field" for educational opportunities and were not left behind.

Many of my students saw Spelman as beyond their reach financially. However, Danny through the Robert "Danny" Flanigan Endowed Scholarship, ensured bright girls from low income homes, had equal chances to become "True Blue." Danny both nurtured and mentored these young ladies. As one of my former students shared, "Mr Flanigan is never too busy to cheer us on." Yes, Danny managed Spelman's business portfolio, but he never lost his humanity. He taught us the importance of kindness, courage, generosity and thoughtfulness. His lessons linger and help fill the void. So, let his deeds echo within our hearts as we remember Danny.
-- Eunice Robinson

Mr. Flanigan was the type of person that made you want to do better in finances as well as in life. He will be greatly missed.
-- Madie Moore, C'71

Dear Lois and Robbie: My condolences and sympathies to you. We were neighbors. Danny and I served on committees together, including the Snapfinger Elementary School Board. Such a great motivational soul, infectious laugh and smile, and a superb numbers guy! You will be missed, Danny, my Clarkite legendary friend. Rest in love!
-- Ann Wead Kimbrough

Danny, your wisdom, guidance, dedication and genuine interest in the success of those us willing to learn, will truly be missed. Godspeed.
-- Bonita Dukes

As a young cousin of Danny's growing up in Conyers, Georgia, I could see even then he was on his way toward achieving grand things which he did. RIP cousin, you will truly be missed. My deepest regards to family friends and all your admirers.
-- Arthur Usher Jr.

I too, am so grateful for Danny's years of dedicated service to our dear old Spelman. His impact is immeasurable, and I am thankful for having the opportunity to work with him for 20 years.
-- April Austin

Danny was a wonderful friend and colleague. He was always available to answer a question, provide perspective, or offer support. There are too few people who are consistent in their interactions, but Danny was one that you could depend on to be the same person every day. I know that his colleagues will miss him. I offer my prayers and condolences to his family and everyone in his large circle of friends.
-- Glenda Price

Danny was selected to be my mentor for the Talent and Leadership Development Program in December 2018. I met with Danny in his office on March 12, 2019. His first words to me were: “So, you are Shelly? I kept hearing the name Shelly, I said, who the hell is this Shelly?"

We both laughed out loud! I am grateful that Danny was selected to be my mentor. I had the opportunity to hear about his work experiences with Spelman and how much he enjoyed his job! Fifty years, what an honor! On March 11, 2021, I emailed Danny to say hello and see how he was doing (I did not receive a response from him), I was saddened to hear the news of his passing a week later. Thank you Danny for your mentorship.
-- Shelly McDonald

Danny's generosity extended to every community he touched. He was a trustee at the Paideia School and for several years he was Treasurer of the Board. The school was in the very best of hands. After that service as trustee, Danny joined the Paideia Endowment Board and served for many years with wise counsel and expertise. People on boards waited for Danny to arrive so that real knowledge could guide them. Everyone at Paideia who worked with Danny loved his warmth and spirit. Our condolences to Lois and Robby.
-- Paul Bianchi, Head of School

To the Spelman Community, we had the pleasure of working with Danny over many years. We certainly share the pain of your loss. He was a great man. His contributions to Spelman will live on, however.
-- Jim Johnson

Danny Flanigan, thy good and faithful servant! I had the honor of working with him at Spelman for over a decade. I can still see his smile and hear his laugh, while he was simultaneously directing everyone and the business of the day. He embraced life and his work with such energy and excellence! He served and invested in the health and wealth of Spelman College to great success. There is only one Danny Flanigan, and I am so thankful our paths crossed at Spelman College. Well done, Danny Flanigan, thy good and faithful servant, well done!
-- Dineo Brinson, C'94

Danny was a gift to Spelman. His life’s work kept Spelman financially healthy in good times and bad. Thank you, Danny. May God give his family an extra portion of strength and grace as they walk through this storm. 💔
-- Harriette D Watkins

Danny was a gentle giant who demanded excellence in every way possible. Because of his love for Spelman College, nothing less than excellence was acceptable. As one of his employees, he pushed me hard and it is now that I'm realizing that the reason he pushed me so hard was because he knew I was capable of giving more than what I even knew I was capable of giving. Having him so close to learn from over the years was truly a blessing… I will miss him dearly!
-- Tabitha Banks

Mr. Flanigan and my father were friends, so I first met him as a small child. Whether it was during my matriculation at Spelman (many years later) or during my tenure on the faculty at Spelman, Mr. Flanigan always looked out for me. His door was always open to me, and I will be forever grateful for his wisdom, mentorship, and insights. His work at Spelman College speaks for itself, and his impact on the College is his legacy and will never be forgotten.
-- Jakita Owensby Thomas

I remember when my oldest daughter was graduating from Spelman College and Danny came where we were setting up the chairs for Baccalaureate and he announced, "One of our own has a daughter graduating this year. Congratulations to Sarah Bailey and her daughter Brittany Smith, class of 2016."  That was a very proud moment that was shared with Danny and my co-workers. Danny will be missed deeply.
-- Sarah Bailey

 

Danny was a trusted colleague, adviser, and friend. He taught me much about the business side of higher education, including topics that were unfamiliar to me -- budget forecasting, investment ratios, and discount rates. We also shared many meaningful conversations about accreditation. He knew everyone and almost everything about that topic as well. I will miss his warm greetings, frank and generous advice, thoughtful observations, and lively sense of humor. In his fifty-plus years of service, Danny made an indelible mark on Spelman. Well done, my friend!
-- Myra Burnett

While serving in the the Office of Institutional Advancement as a Major Gifts Officer and Director of Leadership Giving, I had the opportunity to work with Danny and his team. Danny held us to a standard of excellence and was very honest and straightforward in his approach. He was held in high esteem by many in the field of academic finance. He will be missed by many and he left a positive mark on my alma mater.
-- Angela Glover '93
