In the face of opposition, challenge, and even danger, Spelman has always persevered. Since our founding on April 11, 1881, our students, alumnae, faculty and staff have persisted against all odds and remained ‘undaunted by the fight,’ as our hymn proclaims.
Though we are deeply saddened to be separated at this time, we prioritize the health of our entire community. We hope you and your loved ones remain safe, and encourage you to stay protected and uplifted. Despite our distance, we remain connected as Spelman family, and our bonds will unite us until we can be together again.
We still have so much to be grateful for, and so many reasons to celebrate our founding as a leader in the education of Black women. Our pride lives in every single student and alumna who has passed through Spelman’s gates and made a Choice to Change the World.
