Spelman College is gearing up for its 137th Commencement Ceremony on May 19 at the Georgia International Convention Center, with a lineup of notable figures set to grace the event. Leading the charge is acclaimed actress Angela Bassett, who will deliver the keynote address and also receive an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree. Bassett, renowned for her roles in groundbreaking films like “Malcolm X,” “Waiting to Exhale,” and as Queen Ramonda in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” will share her insights and experiences with the Class of 2024.

Joining her in receiving honors is Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who will be awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree in recognition of her illustrious legal career and commitment to justice and equality. Also being recognized is journalist Rose Scott, set to receive the National Community Service Award for her extensive public service through Atlanta’s NPR station, 90.1 FM – WABE.

The festivities will commence on May 18 with the Baccalaureate Ceremony, featuring Reverend Dr. Yvette Flunder, a respected social justice advocate and leader in the faith community, as the speaker.

Dr. Helene D. Gayle, President of Spelman College, expressed her enthusiasm about the distinguished guests, noting, “We are honored to have Angela Bassett bring words of inspiration to our graduates. Her impactful work resonates profoundly with our commitment to leadership and excellence.” The ceremony will not only celebrate the achievements of the 504 graduates, comprising 325 Bachelor of Arts and 179 Bachelor of Science degree recipients but will also highlight the ongoing legacy of excellence at Spelman College.
