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.

2 INSIDE SPELMAN

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.

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] DurantGonzalez 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.” ●

†Deceased

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.

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.”

SPELMAN COLLEGE ANNUAL REPORT

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.

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.

Among the tributes for Ms. St. LouisReese, 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.
