Faculty Focus
The Spelman College SGA will
sponsor “Faculty Focus” in the
form of a display. During Black
History month we usually focus
on the talents of artists, scientists,
historians, etc., outside our in
stitution. We thought that focus
ing on the talents and
ac
complishments of our own
faculty would be more rewar
ding and would help us (the
students) to be more ap
preciative of the talent we have
right here,
