Bill > SR591

This resolution recognizes Spelman Day at the Georgia State Capitol, commending Spelman College for its significant contributions. Spelman College, founded in 1881, is a private liberal arts college for women and the oldest historically Black college for women in the United States, dedicated to academic excellence, leadership, and social responsibility. The resolution highlights Spelman's achievements, such as being a leading producer of Black women with doctoral degrees in STEM fields, its rigorous academic programs with a low student-faculty ratio, and its high graduation rates. It also acknowledges the college's global network of over 20,000 alumnae who contribute to Georgia and beyond, its role as an anchor institution in Atlanta, and the importance of Spelman Day in fostering civic dialogue and partnerships that advance education and economic vitality in Georgia. The Secretary of the Senate is directed to provide copies of this resolution to Spelman College representatives.
