On the day of the fair, if you have already shipped materials, they will be placed on the table unopened prior to your arrival. If you have materials leftover after the fair that needs to be shipped, the campus mail center located next to the Manley Student Center can assist you. Please have a return label prepared for the shipment. If you are sending a package overnight prior to the day of the fair, please understand you are at risk of not receiving the box until midday, as our post office does not open until noon.
Transportation/Directions/Parking
Parking fees are not included in the registration fee. Parking may be limited due to other activities taking place on campus. The fee for both the Spelman and Morehouse parking deck is $3 per day. The closest parking deck to the Manley Center is located on Spelman’s campus.
If you are planning to use a GPS system to direct you to campus, it’s best to use 440 Westview Drive S.W., Atlanta 30310 as the input address. That address will bring you directly to our more easily accessible Westview/Lee Street entrance. Upon entering the campus, there is always a security guard on duty. He or she can direct you to the Manley Student Center.
Wi-Fi
Complimentary wireless internet will be available. However, please be cognizant that the connection may fluctuate throughout the day.
Outlets
There are a limited number of outlets on the concourse. Furthermore, many tables will not be in close proximity to the outlets. If you happen to be situated at a table near an outlet, you will need to bring your own extension cord.
Set-up Time
You are welcome to begin setting up your display table at 9:30 a.m. in Manley Student Center.
Accessibility
THERE IS NO ELEVATOR IN THE MANLEY STUDENT CENTER
You will have to take the stairs or walk around the Manley Student Center to enter through the back entrance to gain entry to the upper concourse. You will be responsible for getting materials from your vehicle to the Manley Center. Unfortunately, assistance may not be available.

As the nation’s oldest and most renowned historically Black college for women, Spelman College’s fundamental foundation is to educate women and develop educators. From elementary to higher education, Spelman has cultivated education leaders who serve the world. In the introduction of the College’s 100th anniversary book, "Spelman: a centennial celebration 1881-1981," Beverly Guy-Sheftall references a journalist’s “assertion” made during the College’s 50th anniversary: “No history of women’s education in America would be complete without the story of Spelman.”

A child development graduate from Spelman, Giles earned her master’s degree at Teachers College of Columbia University, and most recently earned her doctorate in higher education administration from Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University.
