Spelman College nearing $250M strategic funding goal Follow Us
Question of the Day
Spelman College launched a fundraising goal nearly four years ago that some thought was too ambitious.
On Saturday, Dr. Mary Schmidt Campbell, the school’s president, announced they had reached 96% of their $250 million goal and rallied supporters to continue giving toward the strategic campaign, which is scheduled to end in 2024.
“We have exceeded the expectations of what the world thought we could do,” Campbell said. “We’re going to take Spelman beyond the finish line. We’re going to keep going until the end of the campaign. We’re hoping we can outdo ourselves in a mighty big way. Our trustees are continuing to open doors for us. Our alumni have taken up the cause for different projects. We’re about $30 million short on our new building, but we will get there.”

The Most Amazing Bowling Story Ever
In a bowling alley one night, Bill Fong came so close to perfection that it nearly killed him.
When Bill Fong approaches the lane, 15-pound bowling ball in hand, he tries not to breathe. He tries not to think about not breathing. He wants his body to perform a series of complex movements that his muscles themselves have memorized. In short, he wants to become a robot.
Fong, 48 years old, 6 feet tall with broad shoulders, pulls the ball into his chest and does a quick shimmy with his hips. He swings the ball first backward, then forward, his arm a pendulum of kinetic energy, as he takes five measured steps toward the foul line. He releases the ball, and it glides across the oiled wooden planks like it’s floating, hydroplaning, spinning counterclockwise along a trajectory that seems to be taking it straight for the right-hand gutter. But as the ball nears the edge of the lane, it veers back toward the center, as if guided by remote control. The
