Greetings Spelman Sisters and Friends

I pray that you and your family are well and keeping safe. This has been an unprecedented year due to COVID-19. Now more than ever we need to stay connected as sisters.

 The Detroit chapter has worked diligently to fulfill the National Alumnae Association of Spelman College (NAASC) mission of supporting Spelman College through financial gifts, student recruitment, sisterhood, community service, and recognition of Spelman women since 1931.

 If you are an alumna living in the state of Michigan, we hope that you will join us at one of our virtual chapter meetings, sisterhood activities, community outreach events, college fairs, or fundraisers. If you are a friend of Spelman, we welcome you to also participate in our community events throughout the year.

 We encourage you to support our scholarship initiatives that assist local Spelman students fulfill their educational goals and help to ease the financial burden of college expenses. With the generosity of alumnae and friends like you, the Detroit NAASC can continue to make dreams come true to deserving young women.

In the spirit of Sisterhood, Service, and Scholarship, I invite you to explore our website and connect with us on Instagram and Facebook to learn more about our chapter programs. Thank you for your support of our beloved Spelman College and the Detroit NAASC.

My interest in serving stems from my desire to see the mission of our chapter fulfilled. When I became a member of NAASC following graduation, the Sisters on whose shoulders we stand selflessly served. They shared, laughed, and cried with us, they passed down traditions and stories. I serve the NAASC Detroit Chapter to continue connecting our history with our present and to enhance our future. ‘Service is the rent we pay for living on this earth’. “
