Dear Spelman Community,
I am pleased to share with you the selection of Salena Gray Jegede, C‘2003, as the College's new senior vice president for Institutional Advancement. Salena, who previously served as the chief of donor advising for political organization Way to Win, joins Spelman today, January 2, 2024. She brings a wealth of experience in fundraising, including raising more than $37 million for voting rights activist and attorney Stacey Abrams’, C’95, 2018 campaign for governor.
Salena will play a pivotal role in advancing the College’s fundraising and development efforts and initiatives. Her extensive fundraising, fund management and humanitarian experience across multiple industries and organizations, coupled
with her passion for and understanding of Spelman College, makes her an ideal choice for this position. I am certain she will be a valuable asset to our community.
As the head of the Division of Institutional Advancement, the senior vice president is responsible for establishing and implementing a strategic vision that informs the College’s fundraising and alumnae engagement efforts. Salena will lead and coordinate all fundraising efforts for the College, direct and evaluate all Institutional Advancement programs, oversee alumnae affairs, and secure the resources required to keep the promise of Spelman as the premier liberal arts institution for women of African descent.
As she returns to her alma mater, please join me in welcoming Salena back to Spelman College. View Salena’s photo and full bio here.
Regards,
President Helene Gayle
