First-year students and their families will experience a full line-up of NSO events prepared just for them, and prior to the welcome back for all returning students. Get ready, Spelmanites! The first day of classes is August 21, 2024.
Mark your calendars! From August 23 through December 7, 2024, Spelman College Museum of Fine Art presents Ming Smith: Feeling the Future —the first solo exhibition of photographer Ming Smith in Atlanta and at a Historically Black College or University (HBCU).
This exhibition is a selection of Ming Smith's work from the 1970s to the present and presents photographs that are in conversation with each other across time and space and showcases Smith’s expansive use of lens-based media.
Great work, Bongeka! Spelman College alumna Bongeka Zuma, M.D., C'2016, is determined to provide better care for people in her tiny rural hometown of Nkwezela, South Africa.
Zuma recently began her internal medicine residency at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The program offers rotations in Africa, so she is planning to learn more about health care on her home continent in hopes of offering the people of her hometown quality health care one day soon.
