Rev. Dr. Lakeesha Walrond: “Being entrusted to continue the legacy of NYTS is truly a humbling experience and as the first female president and the first African-American female president, it’s not lost upon me that this moment in history must be fueled by a collective purpose within the faith community. “I am elated to lead the seminary into a new innovative era that will reflect the mission of the institution and continue to raise the bar for generations to come.”

Marian Wright Edelman, on Dr. Donald Stewart “Under his leadership the college’s commitment to STEM skyrocketed, including establishment of the chemistry and computer science departments and a computer literacy requirement, setting the stage for Spelman students’ excellence today. He also established the school’s honors program and the Women’s Research and Resource Center—the first of its kind for a Black college.”
