Spelman’s New President

Many of you know that I’m a very proud graduate of Spelman College. I had the honor of meeting the new president of Spelman ~ Dr. Helene D. Gayle. 🏫 Dr. Gayle is the 11th President in Spelman’s 142-year history. She is an MD, MPH, Scholar, HIV and public health researcher, humanitarian and champion of the rights of women and girls worldwide. She trained as a pediatrician, previously served in prominent positions at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and CARE Inc., as well as president and CEO of the Chicago Community Trust. Congratulations Dr. Gayle! Our beloved #SpelmanCollege is in good hands! 💙
