Make a Gift to Spelman College
Financial investments have depreciated considerably over the last two years. However, there is one investment you should never question: Spelman. College degrees can be compared to stock in that their value increases with the reputation of the school . . . and school reputations are highly correlated with their national rankings. One way to increase Spelman’s perceived value is to make annual financial contributions to the college. Whether it’s a $1,000 or $10, your donation helps to ensure that future generations of Spelman students receive a quality educational experience.
Invest in yourself by making a gift online at www.spelman.edu and clicking the “Make A Gift” link.
Please specify NAASC - Donald & Isabel Stewart Scholarship
Did you know that a corporate matching gift is a company benefit that can
double or even triple your gift? Check your firm’s policy today!

Looking for a Math Speaker
Gayle Herrington, C'93, is looking for dynamic women with careers in the mathematical sciences and/or statistics who would be willing to talk to high school girls and their math teachers in March 2012 in Baltimore. The goal is to expose them to the possibilities available with a degree in the mathematical sciences, computer science and/or statistics. Sessions would last 30 minutes and have about 10 people. During that time, the speaker would briefly share her math story then discuss her career/job. It would be helpful to have a demo or simulation that engages the students/teachers and helps them understand what the speaker does on the job and how they use math as a tool.
If you are interested, please contact Gayle at gayleherrington@ymail.com. This is in conjunction with the Infinite Possibilities Conference. See the link for details about the conference. ipcmath.org
Thanks to Shaylah Nunn, C'02, and Novo Nordisk
Shalyah hosted the General Body meeting at her employer's, Novo Nordisk, conference room. The space was beautiful, convenient, metro accessible,
and close to good restaruants. Their support for the chapter is greatly appreciated.
