Spelman Community Embraces Its Own Through Habitat 

O 

ver the past 10 years Veronica Clark has been somewhat of a 

rolling stone. Since a 1993 separation from her husband, she 

has moved from rooming house to rooming house, never 

quite able to find decent, affordable housing. 

Ms. Clark’s housing instability ends December 12 when she – along 

with her eight-year-old grandson Daryn, who is in her custody – moves 

into her new home in southeast Atlanta. This move was made possible 

by her Spelman College family and friends and Atlanta Habitat for 

Humanity. She could not be happier. 

“I am just so happy to have a place to call my own, where I can 

wash clothes and just not worry about where I’m going to end up 

next,” says Ms. Clark, a 10-year physical plant employee at Spelman. 

To help her, Emma Redding, a co-worker, led Ms. Clark to The 

Cascade House, a program of the YWCA of Greater Atlanta that provides 

emergency shelter and transitional housing for women and their 

children. For the time being, it was at least a secure place she and Daryn 

could lay their heads. However, Ms. Redding took it a step farther.

Learning Tree Dedication Honors Holland 

O 

n October 24, the Board of Trustees held a 

tree-planting ceremony in honor of Spelman 

trustee Robert Holland, Jr. An active trustee 

since 1979, Mr. Holland was recently celebrated for his 

long-standing commitment to Spelman, having served 

as chair from 1986–1996. The ceremony took place in 

the new Spelman Garden located between Read Hall 

and the Albro Falconer Manley Science Center. Mr. Holland’s 

family was in attendance including daughters 

Kheri Holland Tillman, C’92 and Jacklyn Holland, 

C’2000. The “Robert Holland, Jr., Learning Tree” is a 

Hightower oak. A marker with the following text was 

placed near the base of the tree:

Inside Spelman 

is published four times 

per academic year for a 

readership that includes 

alumnae, trustees, 

parents, students, faculty, 

staff and friends of the 

College. The newsletter is 

dedicated to informing 

our readers about news, 

upcoming events and 

issues in the life of the 

College. 

A DIALOGUE WITH DR. T 

“TWENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS! WHY DOES IT COST 

so much to go to Spelman?” an alumna recently asked me. 

Faced with the prospect of educating three daughters, she 

was experiencing some “sticker shock.” She was surprised to 

learn that, in fact, Spelman College is among the least 

expensive private colleges in the country. Recently ranked as 

one of the top 100 liberal arts colleges by U.S. News and 

World Report, the only HBCU to receive such recognition, 

Spelman College competes with other highly ranked schools 

whose cost of attendance is close to $40,000. The gap 

Dr. Beverly Daniel Tatum 

between our yearly cost and theirs is a challenge for us as 

we try to offer a world-class educational experience to our students with limited resources. 

How do we do it? This year it will cost about $66 million to run Spelman College, considerably 

less than the budgets of the majority of schools of comparable size. Only $27 million – 

less than half of our annual budget – will come from the tuition and fees that students pay. 

Because 87% of our students are eligible for financial aid, we know that our capacity to raise 

more money by increasing tuition is limited. We want to remain as affordable as we can for the 

talented students and their families who work so hard to pay that tuition bill. Our dedicated 

faculty and staff work very hard, and we seek to be as efficient as possible to keep costs down. 

Where do we get the rest of the money? Spelman College, like most private institutions, is 

dependent on three major sources of income: 1) tuition and fees, 2) endowment income and 

3) private gifts and grants. Both the effective fundraising of previous presidents and the wise 

investing of our financial advisors have resulted in an endowment of approximately $220 

million. While this sounds like a lot of money, it is much smaller than the endowments of our 

“sister” schools like Agnes Scott or Smith College that have endowments closer to $1 billion. 

Like a big savings account, the endowment generates interest income that we use to help pay 

our annual expenses. Our endowment income this year will be about $11 million. Because we 

cannot spend more income than we earn from the endowment, the only way to increase that 

income is to increase the size of the endowment. One of our long-term goals is to do just that 

so Spelman will continue to have a larger stream of steady income to support much-needed 

financial aid for students and the hiring of new faculty. The rest of our income comes from 

corporate and foundation gifts, federal support in the form of grants and from the annual 

fund. While we have been very fortunate as the beneficiary of large government grants and 

corporate gifts over the years, the economy is making it more difficult for us to count on these 

sources in the future. As we look to the future, we know that the annual fund, supported by our 

alumnae, is critical to our long-term growth. We have managed our resources very well, but if 

we want to do new things, we will need to generate new resources. We have stretched our current 

budget as far as it can go. 

Can we keep Spelman ALIVE? We have developed a strategic plan to ensure that Spelman 

remains strong, vital, and productive well into the 21st century. At the core of this strategic plan 

is Spelman ALIVE. This five-point initiative focuses on Academic Excellence, Leadership Development, 

Improving Our Environment, Visibility of Our Achievements, and Exemplary Customer 

Service. We are already making progress on these goals with the opening of the Center 

for Leadership and Civic Engagement and the renovations of Sisters Chapel, Packard Hall, and 

Bessie Strong Hall. But are we victims of our own success? Have you ever heard someone say, 

“Spelman doesn’t need money.” I have, and I quickly tell the story I have shared with you 

here. Spelman is strong, but it depends on consistent annual giving from alumnae and friends 

to remain so. Last year 1,822 alumnae contributed to the College from an alumnae database of 

11,795 (approximately 15%). Can we do better than that? We know we can! Help us tell the 

whole story – of our success and our need. Together we will surely keep Spelman ALIVE.

Visionary Leadership Awards Gala 

Honors Spelman Visionaries 

T 

he National Visionary Leadership 

Project (NVLP) presented the 2003 

Visionary Leadership Awards Gala, 

honoring both their national and local 

visionaries, at the John F. Kennedy Center for 

the Performing Arts and the Library of Congress 

in Washington, D.C., on October 17, 

2003. NVLP inspires younger generations to 

develop into leaders by recording, preserving, 

and distributing various media based 

on the wisdom of African American elders 

who have shaped American history. The 

nonprofit organization was co-founded by 

educator and producer Dr. Camille O. Cosby 

and award-winning network correspondent 

Renee Poussaint. Some of the elders in the 

NVLP are nationally recognized; some are 

known solely in their local communities. 

All of them share a lifelong commitment to 

excellence. Few of their stories have been 

told completely. 

NVLP works with faculty at participating

Spelman Community Embraces 

Its Own Through Habitat 

Continued from page 1. 

“Veronica was one of the sweetest people 

I had ever met, and she would do anything 

for anybody,” says Ms. Redding. “She was 

just always burdened by her situation, so 

I went and talked to Dr. [Victoria] Durant- 

Gonzalez in Community Service because 

I knew her to be a great person who helps 

people out.” 

Once Dr. Durant-Gonzalez heard of 

Ms. Clark’s ongoing dilemma, she began 

paperwork to qualify Ms. Clark for a Habitat 

home. Spelman has worked with the 

Habitat organization since 1997 and in 

1998 formed its own chapter. 

Habitat homes are sold at no profit, with 

a zero percent interest mortgage loan. Since 

1983, Atlanta Habitat Habitat has built 

more than 740 homes, housing over 3,000 

individual family members – children, parents 

and grandparents. Ms. Clark and the 

Spelman family never missed a beat. Once 

she was approved for the home, building 

began Sept. 27 and the continuing Saturdays 

until Ms. Clark’s December move into 

the two-bedroom home. For each of those 

Saturdays, volunteers from Spelman – a 

mix of faculty, staff and students, representing 

five different countries – and the 

broader Atlanta community helped Ms. 

Clark build her home. 

“It’s evident that Ms. Clark is a special 

person, and her determination through the 

application process and the home build has 

been remarkable,” says Larrie Del Martin, 

president and executive director, Atlanta 

Habitat for Humanity. “The support, in 

both encouragement and labor, from the 

Spelman community shows what Ms. Clark 

means to so many.” 

In addition to Spelman, Ms. Clark’s 

home sponsors were the Wieuca Road Baptist 

Church and Fort Street Memorial 

United Methodist Church. 

“This project is so necessary that it 

behooves us to provide our talent, time and 

resources to be a part of it,” says Jacqui 

Ryder, who is in the Spelman Office of 

Community Service and is the Habitat project 

manager. “There are so many people 

like Veronica that we identify with, and it’s 

important that we all lend a helping hand 

to anybody who needs it.” ●

Greetings: 

I am pleased to present the Honor Roll of 

Contributors. This listing acknowledges 

alumnae, parents, individuals, corporate 

and foundation donors, and others that 

have contributed to the College during the 

July 1, 2002 – June 30, 2003 fiscal year. 

The entire Spelman community joins me 

in expressing sincere thanks for your generosity. 

This type of financial support 

enables the institution to make great strides 

and ensures a promising future. 

My experience as Chair of the 2003 

Annual Fund allowed me an opportunity to 

share my personal commitment to supporting 

Spelman with my sisters of Spelman 

and to talk with them about the importance 

of sacrificial giving. Although this 

Honor Roll recognizes many alumnae 

donors, we are striving for total alumnae 

involvement. Those of us who contribute 

annually must fuse a similar spirit of philanthropy 

and commitment among the 

entire alumnae body. By spreading this 

message of collective giving, we can create 

a phenomenon that would ensure that this 

great hallmark institution for the education 

and development of women leaders 

will not only survive, but flourish into the 

next millennium. 

Once again, allow me to extend heartfelt 

gratitude to every supporter of Spelman 

College. Please continue with us in our 

pursuit of excellence. 

In the Spelman spirit of giving,

President Beverly Daniel Tatum welcomes Jean Foster, chair of the 

Golden Girl Reunion Committee, and other members of the Class of 

1953 to the 2003 Golden Girls Tea held at Reynolds Cottage. 

2003 Golden Girls Raise Bar for Reunion Giving 

Immediately following their 45th reunion in 1998, the Class of ’53 put 

a plan in place to make their 50th class reunion an event to remember. 

“During the wrap-up meeting of our 45th reunion, I challenged each 

of my classmates to give $5,000 during our 50th reunion,” says Jean 

Foster, chair of the Golden Girl Reunion Committee, “and every time 

I communicated with them in the years that followed I reminded them 

of our plan – $5,000 in 2003!” Now they have raised the bar for their 

fellow Spelman sisters to follow. 

Past reunions for the Class of ’53 have brought pleasant and sad 

memories. The loss of some loving and devoted links in their chain of 

sisterhood has served to strengthen their resolve to remain loyal to 

their alma mater and has nurtured their sisterhood over the years. 

However, during this year’s reunion celebration, the “Golden Girls,” 

as 50-year reunioners are affectionately called, never imagined the joy 

and excitement the weekend would actually bring. “From the moment 

we registered for the reunion activities to our return to campus following 

commencement, we were treated royally by College staff and student 

assistants who guided and directed us throughout the celebration 

weekend,” says Helen Bell, C’53. 

The reunion banquet was their time to really shine. More than 

33 ladies from the class of 1953 stood proudly and represented the 

reunion theme, “Signatures of a Noble Calling,” and presented a 

record-setting gift to the College totaling $141,963. “We were grateful 

to family members of our sisters that are no longer with us,” says Jean 

Foster. “Their memorial gifts helped us to exceed our goal. Our class 

gift to Spelman College is our sincere expression of 50 years of love, 

respect, honor, dedication and commitment. Our hope is that our 

Spelman sisters will follow in our footsteps and not only meet our class 

gift but exceed it as well.”

Seeking Higher Participation Levels 

I found the new format for the Donor Honor Roll printed in the Summer 2003 issue of 

Inside Spelman quite enlightening. It listed the names of alumnae contributors by 

class year, along with class totals and the percentage of participation for each class. I 

was embarrassed to see that my class participation was a skimpy seven percent. It was 

even sadder to note that my class was not alone – most classes had a fairly low level of 

participation. These low class participation rates are reflected in the College’s overall 

alumnae participation rate of 15.5 percent. We have a long way to go, particularly 

when we compare ourselves to institutions such as Wellesley, Smith and Mount 

Holyoke (all peer institutions of Spelman) that consistently reach alumnae participation 

rates of 45–50 percent. 

Let’s be clear. I am referring to participation, not necessarily the amount of the 

donation. Like many alumnae, I did not participate in the Annual Fund on a regular 

basis. However, I have come to understand just how much the College relies on our 

contributions in order to meet budgetary and emerging needs, especially in these 

times of economic uncertainty. Therefore, I have made a personal commitment to 

change – to give to Spelman every year, no matter what the amount, with the hope of 

being so privileged as to increase that amount over time. I know some have already 

realized my personal epiphany, but I hope that many more of my sisters will make the 

same personal commitment. This pattern of giving is something that should be a part 

of our personal annual financial planning and our culture. It should also be the 

preparation for a legacy that we can pass to our daughters.

Good Reasons Why Church Supports Spelman 

The long-storied history of Spelman College certainly offers good reasons 

for support from any conscientious group. Through its talented 

and prepared alumnae, competent faculty and visionary administrators, 

this institution has contributed much to the social, political, economic, 

educational and religious landscape of this nation and the 

world. The Spelman woman has always symbolized that remarkable 

combination of superior intellect, class and beauty. Indeed, our world 

would be so much poorer without the major contributions of this celebrated 

center of higher learning. 

History, alone, however, does not warrant continued support for this 

Institution. The promises that Spelman offers for the future well being of 

humankind provides another good reason to support its vision and programs. 

I do believe that women, especially African American women, 

bring a critical perspective to life that is essential for human survival 

and progress. No one in this nation does a better job of preparing these 

women for leadership in presenting this perspective than Spelman. 

For these two reasons, along with many others, our congregation, 

Zion Hill Baptist Church, enthusiastically supports Spelman College 

with annual financial gifts, as well as with encouragement to continue 

in their rich tradition and to blaze new trails.

’Tis the Season of Good Will— 

and Good Wills 

Many people know that they should have a will, yet most put aside 

making one until it is too late. Sadly, those who don’t realize the 

importance of having a will ultimately leave it up to the state to 

administer their wishes. 

Planning a will that protects your hard-earned assets, and ensures 

distribution of your property according to your wishes is a simple process. 

Prior to consulting an attorney to finalize your will, 

you should follow these simple steps: 

• Assess your entire estate to determine which 

assets are subject to taxation 

• Determine whom you want to receive your assets 

• Name your executor, trustee or guardian 

• Choose a competent attorney who has a 

specialized knowledge of estate planning 

• Revise your will as your circumstances change 

Remember to keep Spelman College in your 

thoughts when drafting your will.

Soul Food Tributes 

For Spelman Chef 

A memorial service in the Cosby Center 

auditorium was held on November 6, 2003, 

for Rosslyn A. “Malika” St. Louis-Reese, a 

vegetarian chef for Spelman Dining Services, 

who died October 24, 2003, after a brief 

illness. Among the tributes for Ms. St. Louis- 

Reese, the following excerpts from “Soul 

Food: A Verbal Tribute to Malika” by 

Spelman sophomore Ashley Coleman echoed 

the thoughts of the Spelman community: 

Soul Food: 

A Verbal Tribute to Malika 

Food for the soul I receive 

In daily doses of home-cooked goodness 

As she served soul food 

That filled the heart and satisfied the soul 

The scoops of love and dashes of concern 

made me smile inside 

And I felt full before I even took that first 

bite of soul 

Of soulful heart she gave 

Us what we needed for the day 

Nourishing words intertwined with beans 

and rice on top of an eternal plate 

When no one else asked – She did. 

When no one else cared – She did. 

Food for the soul I receive 

In daily doses of home-cooked goodness 

As she served soul food 

That filled the heart and satisfied the soul 

Malika, you were a nurturer in ways in 

which you had no idea. 

Your soul food was your words and you 

made us feel home 

When we felt so far…Peace be upon 

you, Malika. 

You have touched lives, hearts, souls and 

stomachs.
