"Many times I've been asked why it took so long for Spelman College to appoint a president who reflected what the institution is. The response is the same as the response to why we haven't yet appointed a woman to the presidency of the United States of America... But what's important, I've always felt, is if there is ever a first, then there could be a second - and a fifth - and a seventeenth - and a hundredth - and a millionth who could do the job."
Johnetta Betsch Cole
Professor of Anthropology
Emory University
Former President of Spelman College

Kari A. Lewis (B. 1974)
"It's good that young girls see that engineering and technical fields are wide open to women."
The daughter of an Air Force pilot, Kari joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as a student intern and began working there full-time after graduation from the University of Texas at Austin. Kari Lewis was barely 25 years old when she became the chief mission engineer for Deep Space 2, the robotic craft NASA sent to Mars in January 1999. Kari and her colleagues, Sarah A. Gavit and Suzanne E. Smrekar, made history as the first all-female team to head a major space mission for NASA. Kari works on NASA's New Millennium program, which develops cutting-edge technology and flight tests it to reduce the risk for future missions.
