SPELMAN COLLEGE DAY AT THE GEORGIA STATE CAPITOL

Spelman College alumnae spent time at the Georgia State Capitol to see firsthand their legislators at work. Created by Sheila Louder, C’73, in 2010, this year’s event, Spelman College Day at the Georgia State Capitol, took place March 9, 2017, and attracted more than 100 guests. “The vision for the Day at the Capitol began when I attended my first Ecumenical Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C., seven years ago,” said Louder. “I’ve been advocating ever since.” The Honorable Gail Davenport, C’70, Georgia State Senate, District 44 and the Honorable Stacey Abrams, C’95, Georgia House of Representatives, District 89, and Pam Cooper, C’88, NAASC, Atlanta Chapter, hosted the event. Students, faculty, and Pictured left to right: Sharon Owens, C’76; Helga staff were also invited to join Spelman alumnae.

Other opportunities Robinson, C’2008, Caucus director. included identifying their legislators and voicing their thoughts on different issues; attending committee hearings; and learning more about volunteer or paid opportunities for alumnae and their children at the state Capitol. Louder hoped that alumnae and participants walked away wanting “to extend advocacy work beyond the Georgia legislative session that would include follow up of a bill and also attending subcommittee meetings of bills facilitated by legislative chairs.” She also wanted them to “know advocacy is a 52-week endeavor, and it takes education about the political issues and teamwork to be effective.” Owens had this to say about how alumnae benefited from the Capitol Day, which ended on a positive note for the College. “Seeing the power of support for this effort was heartwarming,” said Owens. “Both the Georgia Senate and the House of Representatives presented proclamations to Dr. Campbell More than 100 alumnae, students, and faculty declaring March 9, 2017, as Spelman Day in the State of Georgia.” and staff showed up for Spelman Day at the Capitol to take photos with Gov.

4 » SPELMAN MESSENGER TONY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR KENNY LEON HOSTS MASTER CLASS Renowned director Kenny Leon conducted a master class Monday, January 30, as part of the True Colors Theatre Company Mentor- ing Program. The preprofessional mentoring program is a part- nership between True Colors and the Atlanta University Center for the production of the Broadway musical “Holler if You Hear Me.” The master class, which was open to the AUC community to observe interaction between the director and preselected students, explored selected scenes from “Holler,” a story of family, love, and unity inspired by the music of Tupac Shakur. Leon, artistic direc- tor of True Colors Theatre, announced the mentoring program in September 2016 during a talk at Spelman. During the rehearsal and production process, professional actors performed principal roles and actively mentored AUC students, who comprised the ensemble. Keith Arthur Bolden, assistant professor of theater and perfor- mance at Spelman, said students participating in the audition pro- cess had to have a monologue and song prepared and were also asked to stay for a dance call.“They needed to have a monologue of their choosing in tip-top shape and had to be able to move,” said Bolden. “They didn’t have to be dancers, but the students had to be able to move well. They would be doing contemporary dances and didn’t need to be classically trained.” During the fall semester, students identified scenes from “Holler” to rehearse under the guidance of Bolden and assistant professor Eric Little of Clark Atlanta University. Auditions began in April, and the show opened True Colors’ 15th anniversary season September 15, 2017. Bolden said he hoped this production would “enhance the relationship between the Atlanta University Center, Spelman, True Colors and Kenny Leon.” Bolden would like the program will be recurring and have an impact on students across all disciplines. “My hope is that we’ll begin to have students who aren’t drama majors who will participate,” said Bolden, “and that they will be exposed to the time and energy that goes into the show. Hopefully, it will give them a deeper appreciation of the arts.” – Jasmine Ellis, C’2015

In a standing-room only Georgia International Convention Center, Valerie Jarrett, former senior adviser to President Barack Obama, inspired not only the 490 Spelman graduates at the College’s 130th May 21 commencement ceremonies, she reminded us all that, “we, the people, are ultimately in control of the (sic) America’s story.”

Excerpts: “… So, 30 years ago this summer, I took a leap of faith, and began my career in the public sector. I moved out of my cushy office, and into a tiny cubicle with a view facing an alley. But from my very first day, I knew that I was right where I belonged. I had found my true north. Pictured left to right: Valerie Jarrett, co-valedictorians K’yal Bannister and Muhire Kwizera, and Spelman President Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell. “… And as a remarkable bonus, two years and another promotion later, I hired a bril- liant young lawyer, and we instantly bonded, because she too had become disenchanted with the law firm life, and wanted to serve her commu- nity. Her name was Michelle Robinson, and when we met, she was engaged to a skinny guy with a funny name — who also wanted to be a public servant some day... And the rest, well, you know the rest.

“Now, I am not promising that if are willing to take a leap, Special guest the Rev. Joseph Lowery is pictured with Valerie Jarrett. and change course, that you’ll become a senior adviser to the president of the United States of America, but it will enable you to discover your true north.

“I challenge you, class of 2017, to use your great skill, intellect and talent to be a force for good, and challenge the status quo. Now when you do, you will face criticism, disappointment and setbacks. Change is hard. Very hard. And the higher you climb, the more brutal, and public the criticism. Trust me. I know. Just look at the trolls on my Twitter feed. …”

For my research, I really wanted to examine the transformation of identities in the context of democracy, globalization and political change.” Addressing the reason, she chose to study at Tunisia, Mahary said, “The the- matic courses allowed me to learn about the Tunisian culture, civil society, Islam, identity, ethnic minorities and women’s rights.” Mahary also added she was immersed into the Tunisian culture while she was there. “I chose Tunisia because it related to my research. I wanted to document the journey of refugees and displaced people,” said Mahary, an Ethiopian and Eritrean living in the United States. “The program offered a unique learning environment and the opportunity to study French and Arabic stood out to me.” Traveling abroad allowed Mahary to reflect on her outlook of her own life and the world.

10 » SPELMAN MESSENGER COMMUNICATIONS VETERAN JO MOORE STEWART RETIRES FROM SPELMAN Almost 40 years ago, Jo Moore Stewart arrived at Spelman from Iowa to serve as director of the Office of Publications. The Better Homes and Gardens journalist/ photojournalist became much more to Spelman – a photographer, writer, editor, artist, designer, and producer of special events. After five presidents, 12 provosts, 19 fund-raising vice presidents, and one vice president of business affairs, Stewart retired to take on “minitasks.” Over the years, she became a go-to person for a convocation theme or full scripts for the College’s centennial and 125th Founders Day celebrations. Some of her creations have become iconic symbols of the institution, including the First Steps poster and her photo of the Spelman gates, which graced the cover of her first Spelman Messenger issue in 1979, and appears on brochures and Founders Day programs. On Dec. 13, 2016, more than 120 people gathered in the Manley Atrium to honor the legacy of the award-winning Messenger editor, who retired after 38 years at the College. Known for her creativity, work ethic and quick wit, Stewart’s writings, photographs, designs, posters, holiday cards, as well as special events and song productions have earned her numerous unofficial titles, including “Sister Creativity.” She’s also known for her penchant for peacocks and turquoise, and her appreciation of art, eclectic styles, and all things colorful. Stewart is a 2005 Spelman True Blue Award winner and was named an honorary Golden Girl in 2009 by the Class of 1959. As she enters what she describes as “re-wirement,” Stewart plans to devote more time to her MiniLands Museum of Childhood, her inter- nationally renowned miniatures and doll art collection that will be the subject of TV and internet productions this year. Stewart’s childhood inspired the creation of the museum. Some of the dolls her mother made for her will be included. “My mother was a doll collector, my father was a model railroad col- lector, and my sister is a dollhouse miniaturist collector,” said Stewart. “I come from a family of four photographers, so we’ve always been a highly visual family. I’m building on all their collections as well as my own, and my children are collectors as well. It’s a part of our DNA.” Minilands will also include an event that took place at Spelman during Stewart’s time at the College. “I’m creating a room inspired by Misty Copeland coming to Spelman a few years ago,” said Stewart, of the first African-American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theatre. “I have purchased her autographed slippers that are a part of a room, and I have some miniature dolls inside the slippers. I’m working on a miniature room in her honor.” ­ – Jasmine Ellis, C’2015 Stewart’s first Spelman Messenger, 1979

Through incisive considerations of site, history, biography and portraiture, Buchanan (1940–2015) produced landmark bodies of work, including cast concrete and mixed- media sculptures, drawings and books, and evocative paintings and photographs. The more than 150 objects, including sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, notebooks of the artist’s writings, and documentation of private performances, emphasize how Buchanan’s work resisted easy categorization. “Buchanan had a special relationship with Georgia throughout her extensive career. It is a great honor to present this important exhibition at Spelman,” said Andrea Barnwell Brownlee, Ph.D., director of the Museum of Fine Art. “We are especially grateful to institutions and individuals in Georgia that loaned works and, thus, enabled the Museum to expand the examination of her extensive and underexamined career.” This exhibition investigates her dialogue not only with a range of styles, materials, movements, and literary genres, but also with gender, race, class and identity. Beverly Buchanan — Ruins and Rituals is organized by the Brooklyn Museum, and curated by guest curators Jennifer Burris and Park McArthur, and coordinated by Catherine Morris, the Sackler Family Curator for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art.

When she arrived in 1981, there were only two students going abroad annually. Through her supported efforts, the College now ranks among the nation’s top 40 baccalaureate colleges with the highest number of students studying abroad. See the page 8 story on “Spelman Reaches All-Time High Number for Students Studying Abroad.” For her decades of commitment to promoting education abroad, Dr. Ganz received the Peter A. Wollitzer Advocacy Award. Awarded to a Forum member who has been “remarkably effective in influencing institutions of higher learning to understand and support education abroad,” Dr. Ganz was presented the award at the Forum’s annual conference in April. “Dr. Ganz is a tenacious advocate, who understands the transformative impact of sending students abroad, so they can acquire knowledge of global issues and develop skills needed to be successful in a global society,” said Dimeji Togunde, Ph.D., associate provost for global education and professor of international studies at Spelman College, who nominated her for the award. Dr. Ganz, who has served as director of study abroad and international exchange and professor of history at Spelman, retired in July. On two separate occasions, she is surrounded by friends and colleagues to send her well wishes in her retirement. Listen to a great interview of Dr. Ganz (http://googleshortener.com/ad3br), “known as ‘the go-away lady,’ because she would encourage students to ‘go away’ (i.e., to study abroad),” by Tom Howard for Forum Storytellers.

Dr. Joyce Johnson: Music is woven into the fabric of who I am, and that never changes. I continue to be passionate about music and teaching for three reasons: the diversity of my work at Spelman over the years, the breadth of work I do here, and of course, my love for serving our students’ curiosity and love for music.

Music is an important part of education because it enriches our lives, and at Spelman, the arts contribute to educational excellence. When a student understands music, it leads her to a greater appreciation of it as well as the arts as a whole.
