Research Day

Celebrating Our 30th Anniversary
SAVE THE DATE: Thursday, April 25, 2019

Theme: Spelman for Spelman: Acknowledge. Abide. Aspire.

Each year on Research Day, Spelman College celebrates the scholarship and creative works of undergraduate students. In 2018, over 220 students delivered oral and poster presentations during Research Day. These presentations represented 25 academic disciplines spanning the arts, education, humanities, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences.

The 30th Anniversary theme, "Spelman for Spelman: Acknowledge. Abide. Aspire." reflects how we: Acknowledge the role that our past and present Spelman students have had in moving these disciplines forward; Abide in the sisterhood that has functioned to help Spelman College rank among the top liberal arts colleges in the nation; and inspire our students to Aspire to follow in the footsteps of alumnae and continue on their current trajectories to success.
