A Choice to Change Spelman The Student Trustee Overview Every three years, Spelman College chooses its next Student Trustee. With a school full of passionate advocates, dedicated volunteers, and motivating leaders, the process in choosing a qualifying candidate is relatively easy, but does everyone have what it takes to be on the Board of Trustees at Spelman College? The role of Student Trustee is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to shape the future of Spelman College while working closely with some of its leaders. Many would be intimidated By: Raquel Rainey C’201 4, Chief Copy Editor by the responsibilities with being in this position, but the current student trustee, Kemi Oyewole C’2014, saw the role as an opportunity to grow. “I felt it would offer me a chance to give back and contribute to the college,” said Oyewole. “I also felt it would be an excellent opportunity for me to build my leadership skills and learn more about Spelman College.” During her time as Student Trustee, Oyewole has made strides to connect board members with students. With creating Board newsletters and organizing lunches between trustees and students, Oyewole has provided a platform for students to be aware with the decisions made with the College. With no room for error, the Student Trustee must always uphold the highest standards of conduct and scholarship. The student must attend quarterly meetings, contribute financially, and stay in touch with significant College initiatives. As Oyewole’s term comes to an end in May, she hopes her successor will continue her work in assisting to create relationships between students and trustees. “I also encourage her to take advantage of any opportunities to help promote Spelman while trusting her voice and believing in the validity of her experiences and opinions,” she said.
