When we call our inductees "visionary," we mean it literally. We are overjoyed to celebrate our very own Woman of Excellence, Dr. Ayanna Howard, on her historic appointment as the incoming President of Spelman College! 🎓✨
Dr. Howard has spent her career breaking boundaries in AI, robotics, and higher education. We can’t think of a more perfect leader to guide Spelman into a brilliant new chapter. Join us in sending her all the congratulations in the comments!
