A Letter from 

the President 

Spelman College is poised on the dawn of a new era. We are on course in measuring 

up to our mission – to achieve excellence in liberal arts education; to 

develop the total person; to empower our students; and to develop women to 

serve. Like our sisters at the end of the 19th century, we have high expectations 

as we enter the 21st century. Just as they could not imagine the scale 

of development that has occurred over the last 100 years, we can hardly imagine 

what progress awaits us in the decades to come. However, we are empowered 

by our storied legacy of academic excellence and commitment to 

developing leaders who serve. 

It is our privilege to present the 1998-99 Annual Report. We have chronicled 

our successes and have identified the challenges we will face during this 

extraordinary period in world history–the beginning of a new millennium. 

We are proud to have you as shareholders in our mission of developing the 

intellectual potential of women. We deeply appreciate your investment in our 

vision and our end product: the Spelman graduate. Without your support, the 

journey would be impossible. 

We start from a position of strength academically, administratively and fiscally. 

Our campus is undergoing construction and renovations that will 

enhance scientific inquiry and improve student health care. Our nearly 2,000 

students are the best and the brightest young African American women in the 

nation and the faculty continues to demonstrate outstanding commitment, 

dedication and scholarship. We have a talented, hard-working staff that 

remains committed to supporting the daily activities of the College. 

The Annual Report details the progress the College has made in the areas 

of strategic planning, growth and expansion, strengthening institutional infrastructure, 

improving the quality of life for our students and empowering our 

alumnae. 

2

The Spelman Strategic Plan process identified four major initiatives for 

the future of the College; it is currently being finalized. We have initiated a 

Strategic Plan for Technology and a Master Plan which will address the 

physical plant and new facilities. Our self-study, a requisite for our regional 

accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS), 

is in process. And finally, the new Science Center construction and the 

McVicar Hall renovation have proceeded in a timely manner. 

Our vision for Spelman’s future embraces the College’s neighboring communities. 

We are very excited about this progress as we continue to form 

partnerships through community outreach. We know our survival and 

growth as an institution are inextricably linked to the health and well being 

of the community in which we live and work. In fact, towards this end, the 

College coordinated the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Community Urban 

Summit, which was held on June 4-5, 1999. The Summit brought together 

more than 200 committed and enthusiastic residents, faculty, staff, students, 

and alumni from the AUC to discuss partnership opportunities for improving 

the quality of life for the residents and for revitalizing our neighborhoods. 

Indeed, this inaugural year has been exciting, rigorous and rewarding. 

On October 31, 1998, when I accepted the charge, issued by our Board of 

Trustees Chair, Dr. June Hopps, I promised to serve, to love, to transform and 

take Spelman College to new heights of excellence. I invite you again to join 

me in this effort, for this awesome challenge is a shared responsibility. As we 

face the new century, we must continue to plan and prepare the College to 

enter a new millennium with her course firmly set toward a bright and prosperous 

future. With your continued support, we will measure up to our mission. 

Sincerely, 

Audrey F. Manley, C’55

The Spelman 

Strategic Plan 

The Spelman College Strategic Plan: A Blueprint for the Future is being 

designed to provide direction for the future of the College while maintaining 

the character that has long defined it as one of the nation’s finest institutions 

of higher learning. Built upon the strengths and accomplishments of our past 

and present, this plan will articulate a vision for Spelman that will have far 

reaching impact well into this 21st century. The Strategic Plan is being organized 

around the following initiatives: 

• institutional mission and the learning environment 

As we formulated our planning process, we revisited our mission and institutional 

identity to measure how our future should be aligned with our past. We 

knew that in order to move forward, we must have a realistic understanding of 

our institutional identity and how it affected the way we do business. We also 

determined that we must take new approaches to delivering instruction to 

today’s young women in an extremely competitive academic environment. 

• technology 

Technology has already revolutionized the educational process at Spelman 

College. Over a decade ago, the College invested in upgrading its systems 

through the introduction of computers. Faculty, students, administration and 

staff have been provided access to on-line capabilities. Spelman has completed 

year four of a major computer conversion to enhance technology infrastructure. 

The next step is the development of a strategic plan for technology. 

4

• infrastructure 

Since infrastructure is the basic foundation upon which Spelman rests and 

which supports the College’s mission, the Spelman College Strategic Plan 

will provide direction for the development, management and maintenance of 

the infrastructure. One of the major reasons students choose to attend a 

college or university is the physical facilities/campus aesthetics. To remain a 

major competitor among the top liberal arts institutions in the country, 

Spelman College initiated a master planning process to align our academic 

and infrastructure goals. 

• community partnerships 

The mission of the College has been to educate women who serve. As the 

21st century unfolds, Spelman’s location in southwest Atlanta provides 

untold opportunities to demonstrate its abilities to respond to the social and 

economic challenges in the area. These solutions can serve as models to 

resolve national and international problems in society. 

Our action plan to partner with the community began with the historic 

Atlanta University Center (AUC) Community Urban Summit, held June, 1999. 

The Summit was funded by grants from the Kellogg Foundation, Chase 

Manhattan Foundation, Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and The Johnnetta B. 

Cole Institute for Community Building. During the event, more than 200 

participants recommended strategies for building a strong partnership between 

the colleges and neighboring communities. Dr. Pauline Drake, our Dean of 

Continuing Education, led discussions for the College’s participation in 

community revitalization and partnership. One of the key areas identified in 

community meetings was economic development, which includes reducing 

community unemployment, increasing community entrepreneurship and 

enhancing employment skills. The other areas of concern pointed to issues 

surrounding pre K-12 education, communication and public safety. 

The partnership between Spelman/AUC and our neighbors will increase 

interaction and connection between our faculty, students and area residents. 

This partnership will be a natural link between college class work and life in 

the world into which our students will graduate. The activities will also 

inform our strategic plan as we look to the 21st century to strengthen our 

community partnership.

Measuring Up 

to Excellence 

SPELMAN

pelman College has again surpassed many of the nation’s prestigious 

universities and Ivy League colleges by soaring to the top 

of Black Enterprise magazine’s list of top 50 colleges to 

achieve the No. 1 ranking in the magazine’s January 1999 issue. 

“It’s great news for us. We’re very pleased and very proud that Black 

Enterprise has validated what we at Spelman have long believed. It 

also underscores the role historically black colleges and universities 

have in providing opportunities for African American students,” said 

Spelman President, Audrey Forbes Manley. 

Black Enterprise’s cover story revealed the best colleges and 

universities in America for African Americans based on research 

conducted for the magazine by Dr. Thomas LaVeist, CEO of 

DayStar Research and associate professor at John Hopkins University. 

Spelman was ranked at the top of the listing above Harvard 

University, Duke University, Yale University as well as 

many other distinguished institutions. 

LaVeist conducted his research for the listing by consulting 

1,077 African American higher education professionals. The 

professionals were asked to rate the colleges by the academic 

and social environments that are provided for African American 

students. The questionnaire results, in addition to data 

on black enrollment and graduation rates, were run 

through a weighted formula to produce the ratings. 

Miss Spelman College 1998-99, Nabalungi Mack- 

Williams, was featured on the cover of Black Enterprise 

magazine smiling proudly atop a pyramid of 

student representatives from other schools whose college’s 

also appeared on the listing. “I am proud to be a 

graduate of an institution that is repeatedly recognized 

for its outstanding efforts to educate young African 

American women in the liberal arts,” said Mack- 

Williams. Spelman was recognized last year as one of 

the nation’s top five best buys in the country in Money 

magazine’s 1998 college guide. 

In today’s competitive environment, standards have been set to determine top

colleges – motivated and talented students, challenging curricula and strong faculty. 

This year, Black Enterprise magazine recognized Spelman, as No. 1 among 

the list of top 50 prestigious and Ivy League colleges. This selection affirmed 

what Spelman has always believed – that it is a college that provides the optimum 

academic and social environments for African American women. 

During this academic year, an environment of high student morale and constant 

attention to the details of academic rigor have prevailed on the campus. 

Students have taken advantage of a variety of academic experiences and activities 

on campus and throughout the global community. The Domestic Exchange 

Program was vibrant with 24 Spelman women studying at 10 exchange affiliate 

institutions. In turn, Spelman hosted 25 students from such institutions as 

Barnard, Occidental, Smith, Wellesley Colleges and Stanford University. Students 

also studied abroad, and faculty participated in exchanges with Dartmouth 

and Middlebury Colleges. 

Two Spelman graduates received Fulbright Scholarships. Asha Williams, a 

Chicago Heights native and sociology major, who also speaks fluent German, 

will study refugee settlements in Frankfurt, Germany during the fall semester 

of 1999. Another sociology major who speaks fluent Spanish – Rachelle James 

from Savannah – will research the impact of race on the economic experiences 

of Afro-Costa Rican business owners in February 2000. 

The 1999 Watson Fellow, Miguela Gonzalez, a chemistry major, will conduct 

independent research to document the oral traditions of African music in 

Ghana, Gambia and Senegal. A native of Trinidad, Ms. Gonzalez was president 

of Spelman’s International Students Organization and was among 50 

students placed in the Study Abroad Program. Students studied in Chile, 

the Dominican Republic, Italy, France, England, South Africa, Senegal, 

Ghana, Jamaica, Japan, China and Zimbabwe. 

Some of our most enthusiastic and tireless students welcomed research 

and internship opportunities during the summer months. Spelman 

women were among the ranks of White House and State Department 

interns. They represented the College as NASA, Panasonic, Kimberly- 

Clark, Chase, DuPont and Amgen interns to name a few. They competed 

and received Merck/UNCF, Mellon, Morris Udall and Woodrow Wilson summer 

fellowships. Students also participated in summer research activities on various 

campuses, including the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Howard, 

Syracuse, Princeton, Duke, Purdue and The University of Pennsylvania. 

S UMMER / FALL 1999 6

These various opportunities for students to study away from campus underscore 

the competitiveness and strength of the College’s academic program. 

They also motivate us to make traditional programs relevant for today’s societal 

needs. For example, the English Department revised its major program of study 

by initiating three tracks of study in African American and U.S. Literature; 

British Literature; and Gender Studies, Critical Theory, and International Literature. 

Also, seven students were accepted into the Environmental Science 

major, an interdisciplinary curriculum developed by the faculty and implemented 

in the fall semester. 

Freshman engineering courses were added to the curriculum by Dr. Leonard 

Lay, the new Coordinator of the Dual Degree Engineering Program. A course in 

Engineering Graphics using AutoCAD was piloted in the spring semester and 

the Mathematics Electronic Classroom was upgraded with new computers to 

accommodate AudoCAD. This program is funded by the Model Institutions for 

Excellence (MIE) grant. 

Three new special programs in the sciences were initiated. The Program in 

Physical Sciences (PIPS), funded by the Office of Naval Research ($2.3 million), 

provided enrichment activities in the Physics and Chemistry Programs and 

scholarships for students. The Scholars in Mathematics Program, funded by the 

National Security Agency ($450,000), provided an enhanced curriculum, scholarships 

and special student enrichment for mathematics majors. Funded by the 

National Science Foundation (NSF), the Summer EDGE Program, in collaboration 

with Bryn Mawr College, offered special bridge activities for students 

preparing for graduate studies in mathematics. 

During this academic year, Spelman completed articulation agreements with 

five prestigious institutions to expand the experiential training of students in 

various areas of studies. The partnerships in the Dual Degree Program in Engineering 

were increased to 12 by adding Columbia University and the University 

of Florida. Spelman also entered into agreements for the Minority Graduate 

Education Programs with Georgia Institute of Technology and Howard University. 

And finally, as a result of an articulation agreement, students and faculty 

will engage in research and teaching through opportunities with Columbia University 

and Biosphere 2 in Arizona. 

We also continued to enhance our tradition and esteemed reputation in the 

arts. During the fall of 1998, the Museum of Fine Art sponsored an exhibition, 

Divergent Journeys/Aesthetic Convergence, featuring the works of four faculty 

members. A highlight of the 1999 spring semester was the show, Lois Mailou 

Jones and Her Former Students: Seven Decades of American Art.

Grants from the 

Mellon Foundation 

and the Lilly 

Endowment have 

stimulated a plethora 

of exciting activities 

surrounding new 

approaches to teaching 

and learning, including 

an explosion of 

web-based courses. 

8 

The First-Year Orientation, Sophomore Assembly and Sisters Chapel Services 

were revitalized and restructured under the leadership of Dr. Marshalita Peterson, 

Chair of the Education Department, and Dr. Norman Rates, Dean of the Chapel. 

Important topics shared by renowned speakers focused on the theme of the year, 

Women as Citizens of the World: Demonstrating Vision, Integrity, Values and 

Involvement. A team of faculty, under the direction of Dr. Peterson, developed 

a textbook for the First-Year Orientation that is focused on Spelman College. 

The book will be piloted with the freshman class during the 1999 fall semester. 

During the Inauguration week of activities, the faculty presented the Inaugural 

Symposium, New Women, New Worlds, on Oct. 30, 1998. The symposium 

provided a public forum in which scholars, community activists, students, public 

policy makers and members of the business community engaged in dialogue 

about a broad range of issues confronting America, particularly as they affect 

black women in the United States and throughout the world. Noted participants 

included U.S. Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton and Dr. Bernice Johnson 

Reagon, C’70, vocalist, author, composer and cultural historian. 

Grants from the Mellon Foundation and the Lilly Endowment have stimulated 

a plethora of exciting activities surrounding new approaches to teaching and 

learning, including an explosion of web-based courses. We are also maintaining 

our competitive edge with multimedia technologies playing an increasingly 

supportive role in creative teaching strategies. 

Our tradition of possessing the finest faculty ever continued to be demonstrated 

as they engaged in creative scholarship, including publication of books 

and journal articles, and the production of artistic exhibitions and performances. 

Dr. Arturo Lindsay, associate professor of art and art history, made history by 

organizing the first international multi-disciplinary bilingual symposium to 

address the presence of black Christ figures and statues found throughout the 

Americas. Dr. Lindsay also received a Fulbright Fellowship for a project in South 

America while Dr. Victor Ibeanusi, associate professor of biology and environmental 

science, received a Fulbright Fellowship to study in Germany. 

Dr. Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Director of the Women’s Resources and Research 

Center, completed her tenure as a Pew Scholar. For the 1999-2000 academic year 

the Pew Scholarship was awarded to Dr. Mona Phillips, assistant professor 

of sociology. 

Other highlights of the 1998-99 school year included the following: 

• The College awarded 362 degrees at the May 1999 Commencement 

including 287 Bachelor of Arts degrees and 75 Bachelor of 

Science degrees.

Preparing 

Servant Leaders 

D 

uring this academic year, the Division of Student Affairs enhanced the quality 

of services designed to help students reach their academic goals with an 

emphasis on community service and leadership. In an attempt to evaluate the 

strength of our student involvement in the community, we conducted a 

campus-wide audit of community service placements. This information will 

be helpful as we strengthen Spelman’s partnership with the community. 

The Office of Community Service placed students in more than 93 service 

sites and supported the development of two new service learning courses, one 

in anthropology and the other in foreign languages. The anthropology course 

was linked to the collection of oral history from residents of the Washington 

Park Community and the John O. Chiles Senior High Rise. The special 

language course, designed by Dr. Frederick Langhorst, was used to train 

interpreters for Spanish-speaking patients at Grady Hospital and students 

at Anderson Park Elementary School. 

We also sponsored four students – LaTina Emerson, Ifeoma Nnaji, Erin 

Spearman and Kia Barosy – for the 1999 Leadershape Institute in Champaign, 

Ill. Leadershape is a six-day premier leadership development program 

designed to assist in identifying the leadership potential of students. In addition, 

Spelman sponsored 11 students to attend the National Black Leadership 

Conference in Richmond, Virginia. Students representing various organizations 

and classifications attended the three-day conference, which 

featured noted keynote speakers and workshops on leadership 

development. 

Other significant accomplishments in Student Affairs during 

1998-99 were: 

• Residential Services sponsored a series of activities and programs 

– “Raising the Standard” – to build community while 

providing extra-curricula learning opportunities for campus 

residents. Topics included interpersonal relationships, interviewing 

skills and stress and time management. 

• Ms. Felicia Smith was hired as Director of the Bonner 

Scholars Program. The addition of Ms. Smith has already 

shown signs of strengthening the program because there were 

80 Bonner Scholars involved in community service. 

• The Office of Career Planning and Development conducted thirteen 

workshops and seminars to prepare students for their profes- 

10

sional goals. The Shangazi Program, designed in cooperation 

with the Spelman Corporate Women’s Roundtable, placed six 

students with members of the Roundtable and other top 

women executives during spring break. The program gave 

participating students, who shadowed the executives, an 

opportunity to experience life in corporate America. 

• The Shepherd Poverty Alliance provided six Spelman students 

opportunities to serve an eight-week internship with agencies that 

serve economically disadvantaged populations in rural and urban areas. 

The Alliance is a collaboration between Spelman, Berea and Morehouse 

Colleges, and Washington and Lee University. 

• Ten students participated in the UPS Scholars Program, which is designed 

to improve reading and math skills for students at Fickett and Dean Rusk 

Elementary Schools. 

• During the Inaugural Community Action Day, the Office of Community 

Service coordinated a “clean up day” in the West End district. The Department 

of Health Services conducted a Community Health Fair at the West 

End Mall where more than 500 community residents took advantage of 

free health screenings and health information. 

• The Department also provided self-breast exams training for the freshman 

class; facilitated blood drives sponsored by Life South; and presented information 

to the student body on women’s health issues. 

• In commemoration of World AIDS Day, the Department of Health Services 

collaborated with the American Red Cross to provide African American 

HIV/AIDS training. 

• Counseling Services developed partnerships and collaborated with 21 social 

service agencies to continue sensitivity training of mental health professionals 

who work with our students and the community. The Division also 

designed and presented a series of psycho-educational workshops on topics 

ranging from mental health education and diversity to depression/anxiety 

and male/female relationships. 

• The Office of Disability Services hosted a regional workshop with the 

Disability Access Institute in November 1998. The keynote speaker was 

Salome Heyward, a leading legal expert on disability and higher education. 

• Public Safety continued to promote innovative programs such as Fight Back, 

P.O.S.S.E. (Protecting Our Spelman Students Everyday) and Adopt-A-Dorm 

to provide students with optimum levels of personal security.

The Business 

of Giving 

The Inauguration of President Manley, our “True Blue President,” was the 

largest stewardship program the College has undertaken. It involved all 

constituents of the College and provided increased outreach to the surrounding 

community. In recognition of the impact and creativity of the 

Inauguration, the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education 

(CASE) selected Spelman from 144 other institutions to receive its Gold 

Award for the most unique inauguration. 

In an effort to build the level of financial support, Spelman relied heavily 

upon the support of alumnae, Trustees, Corporate Partners, friends, 

foundations, federal agencies, organizations and our own faculty and staff. 

At fiscal year-end, the Division of Institutional Advancement reported 

gifts and grants totaling $12,926,953, with $6,764,690 in private gifts and 

$6,152,263 in federal grants. 

The College’s fundraising priorities included the Science Center and 

Sisters Chapel. The division raised more than $4.2 million toward the 

$7.8 million shortfall for the Science Center and developed the plan for 

Phase II: Revival of the Spirit, the Campaign to raise the $2.6 million 

needed to preserve and renovate Sisters Chapel. 

The Office of Alumnae Affairs honored 10 alumnae with the 1999 Alumnae 

Achievement Award: Tina McElroy Ansa, C’71, Marie Thomas Foster, 

C’63, Harriet Mitchell Murphy, C’49, Terry Cornwell Rumsey, C’75, Frieda 

Williamson Morris, C’66, Ruth Scott Simmons, C’37, Margaret Carol Lee, 

C’76, Isa Patterson Williams, C’71, Virginia Davis Floyd, C’73 and Lela 

Lewis, C’75. 

12

The College formulated a partnership agreement 

with the National Alumnae Association of Spelman 

College that involved individual and chapter leadership 

development and increased giving for college priorities. 

Other Division highlights: 

• Secured $1 million in scholarships and capital improvement 

support from the Eli Lilly/UNCF Historically Black Colleges and 

Universities Endowment Fund. 

• Achieved a record high in Trustee giving at 82.6 percent, with full 

anticipation of 100 percent participation in 1999-00. 

• Recorded a continued increase in alumnae giving, with a year-end high of 

$724,133. 

• Reported a growth in net assets generated for the Planning Giving Program 

over five years totaling $953,793 .

Mona T. Phillips, C’76 to present “Calming the Waters, Holding Back the 

Storm: A Conference on Stress, Reproductive Health, and Health Promotion 

among African American Women.” 

The division completed its administrative team with the appointment 

of Trisa Long Paschal, as vice president of Institutional Advancement. 

Ms. Paschal previously served as associate vice president.

We closed the end of the 20th century with our tradition of financial growth 

intact and a 30-year tradition of balanced budgets. We are undergoing construction 

and renovations that will expand scientific inquiry and enhance 

student healthcare services. Inspired by our growth, Spelman will step into 

A Legacy 

of Growth

the 1998-99 

Annual Fund 

Chair 

private liberal arts colleges in the country. All of this would not be possible 

without your generosity, particularly to the Annual Fund. 

The Annual Fund continues to make great strides. At the close of the fiscal 

year, the Annual Fund exceeded its goal of $4 million to raise $4,297,695. 

We are extremely grateful for the invaluable support received by all of our 

constituencies in this endeavor. 

Our Campaign chairs and telefund students worked diligently to reach 

the goal. We contacted alumnae by telephone and mail and in turn you 

responded with a record high of $724,133. The Parents Campaign, led by 

Marcella and Terry Jones, exceeded its goal by 110 percent, and already they 

are excited about possibilities for next year. Of course, our faculty and staff 

could not go unrecognized. Their effort, led by Co-Chairs, Dr. Sylvia Bozeman, 

Associate Provost for Science and Mathematics, and Mr. Robert D. Flanigan, 

Vice President for Business and Financial Affairs and Treasurer, achieved a 41 

percent participation rate – a 260 percent increase over 1997-98. 

It has been a great year for the Annual Fund and it has been my pleasure to 

serve my alma mater for the past two years as the National Chair of the 

Annual Fund. As I close the year, I congratulate the new Chair, my Spelman 

sister, Dr. Aurelia Robinson, C’43, who I know will continue to achieve even 

greater heights for the Annual Fund. 

Sincerely, 

Rose Harris Johnson
