President of Atlanta’s historically Black Spelman College steps down after leave of absence

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — Spelman College’s president won’t be coming back from her leave of absence and is stepping down permanently, the historically Black women’s college announced Thursday. “I’m also excited to continue my service as your interim president.” Brewer is the former chair of the school’s board of trustees and a part-owner of the Atlanta Falcons football team. “I look forward to my next chapter.” Gayle became Spelman’s president in 2022 after former president Mary Schmidt Campbell retired. Brewer spent 12 years as chair of the school’s board of trustees, where she worked with three Spelman presidents and chaired the two most successful fundraising campaigns in the college’s history.
