Class of 2006

Dear Sisters of the Class of 2006,

Where has the time gone? Nearly 20 years have passed since we crossed the stage in Sisters Chapel, celebrated under the tent with our families, and walked proudly through the Alumnae Arch. And now, it is our turn to come home.

In May 2026, we will return to the place that shaped us, nurtured us, and sent us out into the world prepared to lead: Atlanta, Georgia—our Spelman home. From Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, May 17, 2026, we’ll gather for our 20th Reunion during Spelman’s 145th Anniversary: Our Mission, Their Future celebration.

This isn’t just another reunion—it’s a pilgrimage back to sisterhood. It’s laughter in hotel lobbies, late-night conversations that feel like no time has passed, and joyful marches under the sun as we once again walk through the Alumnae Arch in white. It’s reclaiming the joy, the rhythm, and the purpose that Spelman gave us.

What to Expect

• Wednesday, May 13: Early check-in at the Georgia International Convention Center (GICC).
• Thursday, May 14: Sisterhood Brunch & Convocation, Vendors Market, Arts & Literature Showcase, Donor Reception (by invitation only).
• Friday, May 15: Class Photos, Class Meeting, Blue Box Lunch, and our sacred March Through the Alumnae Arch.
• Saturday, May 16: Baccalaureate, class gatherings, and the True Blue Gala—a night to shine in shades of blue.
• Sunday, May 17: Commencement, where we will celebrate alongside the next generation of Spelman women.

Registration opens October 1, 2025, and closes April 1, 2026 (unless we sell out early!). Payment plan options are available. Hotel blocks are reserved at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway, Renaissance Gateway, and SpringHill Suites—all minutes from the GICC.

Our Class Gift – A Legacy of Love

Every gift we make between July 1, 2025, and May 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET counts toward our Class of 2006 Reunion totals. Whether it’s $20.06 in honor of our year, $200.60, or $2,006, what matters most is our participation. Every gift reflects our collective gratitude and strengthens the Spelman legacy for the generations that follow. Give today at www.spelman.edu/giving.

Let’s Come Together

Class dues and activity details will be shared soon, but for now, mark your calendars and make your plans. Call your Spelman sisters. Book your flight. Claim your seat at the table. Sisters, this is our moment. Twenty years since we first left the gates, we will once again come together in the city that was once our classroom, our sanctuary, and our launching pad. Let us gather not only to remember, but to renew—to walk into our next season as boldly as we did in 2006.

We can’t wait to see you in Atlanta.

Intention for Our Reunion:

Spirit of Sisterhood, anchor us as we prepare to return home. May this Reunion be more than a weekend—it be a renewal of our bond, a celebration of our journeys, and a blessing for the generations to come. May we carry joy into our gatherings, generosity into our giving, and gratitude into every memory we create together. Amen & Ashe.
