This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Spelman chapter.
 
Come Fall 2015, there will be a new registered student organization on campus that will focus on mental, emotional and educational support for college mothers at Spelman College.  
 
Spelman Association for Maternal Support (S.A.M.S.) was founded by Ashley Hamlet, mother of an 11 month old girl and Alex Marks who is an expecting mother. In an email to the student body, the organization wrote, “we know how hard it is to balance being a mother, or being pregnant while trying to still be a full time student so we wanted to start an organization to not only encourage us strong women but also just be each other’s support system throughout this process.”
 
In addition, S.A.M.S. is not only an organization for mothers, but if you are a student interested in child psychology, if you know someone: mother, family member or mentor that was a college mother, or have an interest in joining S.A.M.S you can email sams.spelman@gmail.com.

She is an aspiring publicist majoring in Comparative Women's Studies at her dream school, the illustrious Spelman College in Atlanta, GA.

If you ask her what her aspirations are, her eyes would light up, her smile would widen and she would squeal: "to be the Communicator-in-Chief of my own PR/Social Interaction agency!"
