In a recent profile published on Forbes.com, Claudia Walker, C'99, shares why she left Wall Street to become an educator. Walker told Forbes that she is
committed to an HBCU education and describes her alma mater as "a magical place." She shared with Forbes, "I first visited the [Spelman] campus as part of a [Black College] tour during my senior year of high school. As soon as I stepped onto the campus, I felt at home. The four years that I spent at Spelman helped me navigate my place in the world." As she recalls, before enrolling at Spelman, Walker had only attended predominantly white schools, where her accomplishments were often viewed as the exception. At Spelman, "it was crystal clear that my being Black, female, and intelligent wasn’t exceptional — it was the norm." Read the full article on Forbes.com.
