Dear Family Members,
It is with great pleasure that the Division of Student Affairs extends a heartfelt welcome to you and your family for our upcoming Family Weekend which is scheduled for February 20-22, 2026. We are excited about the prospect of having you join us for this special occasion.
Our annual Family Weekend is a cherished tradition at Spelman College because the event is designed to bring students, parents, families, friends, and the broader community into a collective celebration of our Spelman experience. We believe this weekend provides a glimpse of the warmth and brightness that Spelman radiates.
This celebration is not just an event, but it is a testament to the strong bonds that bind our Spelman community together. Family Weekend is a time for connection, support, and shared moments that make Spelman a reality for our students. We sincerely hope you will be able to join us for this fun-filled weekend that fosters lasting memories with our incredible students. The Spelman community looks forward to seeing you during this special occasion. As the Spelman Hymn so eloquently reminds us, “May peace with thee abide.” I hope to see you soon at the celebration. If you have additional general questions regarding Family Weekend 2026, you can direct them to studentlifeandengagement@spelman.edu or you can call 404-270-5139.
