A Message From the Director

Associate Dean of Student Life and Housing Alison CummingsWe are so glad you have chosen to make the residence halls at Spelman College your home, and we hope to help YOU make this an exciting and productive year. You have made a great decision to live on the Spelman College campus. The convenience of living on campus affords you the opportunity to develop a sense of community in your residence halls and to pursue your academic endeavors. You have the opportunity to be involved in all aspects of college life and to get to know your Spelman sisters. We encourage you to make lifelong friends during your stay.

You also have access to many college activities and events readily available. Venture out into the campus community. Attend service events and activities that are designed and planned with you in mind. Develop your leadership skills by joining your Community Leadership Council or the Spelman College Residence Hall Association Executive Board (RHA).

Thank you for “LIVING THE SPELMAN SISTERHOOD EVERYDAY.” Have a great year!

Alison Cummings
Director of Housing and Residence Life
