Spelman College has a long history of providing study-abroad opportunities and hosting international
students, beginning with the first Spelman student to travel abroad to the Congo, Nora Gordon, in
1889, and in 1915, Flora Zeto, the first African graduate from what was then Spelman High School.
Established through an anonymous endowed gift of $17 million, the Gordon-Zeto Center for Global
Education at Spelman College derives its name from these two individuals to represent Spelman's
rich legacy of sending students abroad, as well as receiving international students here at the college.
As an infrastructure for implementing Spelman's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), also known as
Spelman Going Global!,
the Gordon-Zeto Center for Global education invites you to explore travel-
abroad opportunities under the direction of the Study Abroad Office and individual departments and
programs. Studying abroad is a life-changing experience. Living and studying in a foreign country
provides an extraordinary opportunity for you to learn about another culture from firsthand experience.
You will visit new places, make new friends, learn or improve a new language, and experience life in
a new environment. Studying overseas offers you a different perspective on global events and
prepares you for a lifetime of learning. At the same time, you can impact the lives of those you meet,
and build lifelong ties and friendships. We encourage you to consider a study-abroad experience as it
promotes cross-cultural awareness and understanding, broadens your worldview, and prepares you
to be a global citizen and leader in an increasingly complex and interconnected global society.
The Gordon Zeto Center for Global Education also provides a variety of services for international
students and serves a growing population of international students from approximately 15 countries.
The staff coordinates orientation to the U.S. and local community, provides immigration compliance
workshops, cultural transitions and other workshops, and Host Family Programs for international
students. We encourage you to visit the Gordon Zeto Center for Global Education to learn about our
study-abroad program, faculty, and staff-led study-travel opportunities and international student
services.
