Leaving Our Mark

I learned late last week that the United States Postal Service unveiled a new Spelman stamp that celebrates the college's 125th anniversary. Spelman College is the first college or university to have its on stamp. The stamp will be the college's new logo with 125 years below it, and it will be made public in the near future.

Dr. Beverly Tatum, the college's president, is really doing her thing-thing at Spelman. I was so happy to see her come on board during my tenure at the college, and I'm even happier to see all that she is accomplishing now. I didn't have the pleasure of attending Spelman during Sister-prez Dr. Johnetta B. Cole's days, but from what I know about Spelman's history and its presidents, Dr. Tatum is the only prez to even step into the same league as Sister-prez Cole. Much respect Dr. Tatum.

I'm so proud of my alma mater and so honored to be an alumna. There is absolutely no better place for a black woman to be educated than Spelman College.
