  • From the Desk of the NAASC President
    May 2019 From the Desk of the NAASC President Greetings! I hope everyone celebrated Founders Day. I certainly enjoyed the day and all events leading to that special day, including Day of Service, which I spent at the Atlanta Food Bank and the “Say Yes to the White Dress,” event founded by NAASC Membership Chair, the History & Traditions Convocation, featuring Angela Baskerville, C’87, Vice President, Technology Development, AT&T Communications, the Alumnae-Student Lunch with Robyn Young and the Founders Day Sunday Worship Service with a sermon by Rev. Porsha Williams, C’2012. Kudos to the College for honoring Rachel Strickland Cook, C’68 as the Founders Spirit Award winner, Dr. Virginia Davis Floyd, C’73 as the Hall of Fame Award recipient and Naima Porter Sparks as the True Blue awardee. Founders Week was, however, not without bad news: Dr. Donald M. Stewart, Sixth President of Spelman College, passed away. Those of us that attended and/or graduated during the years of his service, had the opportunity of know a groundbreaker who helped increase the College endowment from $9 million to $41 million, established the Computer Science major and minor, launched the Chemistry Department, the Ethel Waddell Githii Honors Program, Comprehensive Writing Program, as well as the first Women's Research and Resources Center at a Historically Black College & University. Dr. Stewart was an amazing man with a great personality and big heart. Upon his retirement, NAASC’s admiration for all that he accomplished led to the establishment of the Donald & Isabel Stewart Endowed Student Scholarship. Let all Spelman alumnae remember and appreciate his undaunted leadership and send prayers to his wife, Mrs.
