Spelman College Announces $150 Million Capital Campaign: Spelman College has set the most ambitious fundraising goal in the 128-year existence of the historically Black women's institution: $150 million by 2015.
President Beverly Daniel Tatum says the school's capital campaign announced this week would help educate 5,000 women, many of them first-generation college students, over the next decade.
“The economy is not as robust as we wish it were, but there are still individuals ready and willing to invest in human capital,” Tatum said. “Now more than ever, our nation needs the talent of the kind of women we have at Spelman.
