Office of Event Operations

Home > Event Operations

The Office of Event Operations, formerly the Office of Special Events, is a resource to assist and consult on design, development and management of special events that showcase Spelman College's excellence and promote advocacy and support for its stakeholders. We are also the “gatekeeper” of space requests and serve as an advisor to the Event Envoy Program. 

The Event Envoy program is designed for students who are interested in event management and hospitality. As a self-guided training program, Event Envoys get full exposure and the opportunity to learn the various aspects of event logistics and planning.

Major College Events

The Special Event Department is responsible for, but not limited to, the following College events:

  • Commencement
  • Baccalaureate
  • Reunion activities
  • Homecoming Activities
  • Founders Day Activities
