Spelman College’s board of trustees has tapped Ayanna Howard, a dean of engineering at The Ohio State University, to serve as the school’s 12th president.

Howard attended Brown University as an undergraduate, then earned master’s and doctoral degrees in engineering from the University of Southern California. She also has an MBA from Claremont Graduate University.

An engineer by trade, Howard has worked at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and held several different positions at Georgia Tech. While there, she founded a trainee program in healthcare robotics and recruited college students outside of Georgia Tech to participate.

Howard became the first outside funder of the SpelBots, Spelman’s award-winning robotics team. She also launched Zyrobotics, a company that develops assistive technology for people with disabilities.

😈 BREAKING: The Duke Blue Devils just gave the cost of college a massive reality check. 💙📊.

Think a degree from Duke University is strictly a luxury for the ultra-wealthy? Think again. The Cameron Crazies aren't just making noise on the basketball court—Duke is making massive waves in the financial aid world, and it is a total game-changer for families in the Carolinas.

Through their Carolinas Initiative, Duke is proving that world-class education doesn’t have to mean lifelong debt. Here is how they are completely erasing tuition costs: 💸

Family income under $150,000? Duke covers your full tuition. Completely free.💸

Family income under $65,000? They cover full tuition PLUS housing, meals, and course materials. (Basically, a all-inclusive pass to a top-tier future).🚫

The Best Part? No. Student. Loans. Duke replaces them entirely with grants you never have to pay back.

The fine print: This incredible initiative is specifically for undergraduate students who are residents of North Carolina and South Carolina (including local military families!).

So, if you thought a Duke degree was a financial pipe dream for your high schooler, it’s time to rethink the strategy. Getting in might still be a masterclass in hard work, but paying for it just got a whole lot sweeter. 🎓🙌👉
