Through hard work, determination and balance, Kendra Grissom and Jasmine McClam have excelled and achieved high honors during their academic careers.
Now, Grissom, a native of Baltimore, Maryland, and McClam, a native of Missouri City, Texas, can add valedictorian and salutatorian to their long list of academic achievements.
Even though Grissom was never one of her students, Dr. Hite’s mentorship helped shape her intellectual life at Spelman.
McClam credits professors like Jeanne T. Meadows, Ph.D., associate professor of international studies and director of the International Affairs Center, with helping her throughout her Spelman career.
Dr. Meadows expects that through her work, McClam will bring to life Spelman’s mantra, “A Choice to Change the World.”
