From idea to market. 💡

Annave Noel, C’2027, began developing Luminous SKN Care through Spelpreneur, Spelman College’s entrepreneurship program. This summer, the biology major used her entrepreneurship, branding, pitching and business strategy skills to launch her own brand.

Her journey shows what can happen when students go from learning to putting lessons into action.

For two decades, Spelman College has been ranked the nation’s No. 1 HBCU by U.S. News & World Report, but the story behind that achievement is far more meaningful than any milestone.

In a new Atlanta Journal-Constitution piece, President @SpelmanPres1881 looks beyond the ranking to what this milestone represents: student success, academic excellence, leadership and an enduring commitment to expanding what is possible for women of African descent.
