Journal of Sisterhood, December 2017
December 2017
From the Desk of the NAASC President Tara Buckner, C’87
As members of the National
Alumnae Association of
Spelman College, we
proudly speak of our alma
mater and our
sisterhood. For the past year,
as your president, as a Board
of Trustees representative,
Spelman donor and parent
of a current student, I have
pondered the meaning of
sisterhood: specifically, the Spelman Sisterhood.
In my student years, I appreciated my sister political
science majors. They were my friends and my
competitors. Individually, we worked to present our
best academic efforts in class, but when studying,
we shared knowledge with each other, somehow
understanding that while the environment was
competitive, we aspired to help each present her
best work. In addition to my academic experience,
I was also blessed to make great friendships – all that
have lasted the test of time - while living on and later
off campus during those four wonderful years.
After graduating from Spelman, I flourished under
the sisterhood of mentorship from alumnae in our
Twin Cities and Detroit chapters. Sisters advised me
in many aspects of my life, from navigating graduate
school, to employment, marriage and raising
children and the importance of giving back. The
wisdom I received cannot be quantified!
The most interesting thing is that while I received, I
also gave back! The most successful relationships
are like that. Moreover, relationships that last are
built on mutual respect. If I were to identify one key
characteristic of a Spelman Woman, it would be her
respect for others. It is, by far, one of the things that
makes us stand out.
As alumnae, we owe it to our legacy to stand as
beacons of academic strength, hard work, kindness
and service. NAASC should both want and strive to
make the world a better place. This requires that we
put in more than we receive as well as shunning
opportunities to dismantle positive work in favor of
unnecessary chaos. We must choose to uplift each
other and show the world that the legacy of
Spelman alumnae is one of brilliance and
kindness. This is what sets the Spelman Sisterhood
apart from all others. As you reflect on this holiday
season, be sure to reflect upon the wonderful gift of
the Spelman experience and living the legacy of
sisterhood, service and success!

Huntsville Chapter (AL)
Journal of Sisterhood, December 2017
On November 5, 2017, the Huntsville Area Chapter of the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College
(HAC-NAASC) hosted its Fall Information Session for prospective students of North Alabama. This year’s session
welcomed almost 30 students and parents to learn more about our esteemed alma mater and enjoy light
refreshments. Spelman’s southeastern recruiter Allyson Smith facilitated the session, fielding questions ranging
from transferable credits to available extracurricular activities. HAC-NAASC members were also kept abreast of
changes made in the admissions process as well as changes in the 2017-2018 tuition and fees. At the program’s
conclusion, chapter members introduced themselves to the students and parents, and spoke with many
afterwards. This event, amongst others, is part of the chapter's ongoing commitment to encouraging young
women to attend our beloved Spelman College!

Jacksonville Chapter (FL)
NAASC Jacksonville will be once again participating in the annual holiday Adopt-A-Family community service
project with Jacksonville Hubbard House, a local nonprofit actively working to support and house women and
their children who have been victims of domestic violence. How it works: Hubbard House asks families who are
currently under their care to create a wish list which is then shared with the giving community. In the past families
have asked for clothes, household items and of course toys. Sibyl Carley, our annual coordinator, will share the
list with the Chapter and if you are able to give, chapter members can bring their item to the meeting on
the December 9th!
Learn more about Hubbard House here: http://www.hubbardhouse.org/services/
