In gratitude, Packard and Giles renamed the school Spelman Seminary, after Rockefeller’s wife’s family, who had been committed abolitionists. The

newly named seminary added Rockefeller Hall in 1886 and Packard Hall in 1888. Packard acted as the treasurer of the board of trustees and president of the school until her death in 1891. In 1924, Spelman Seminary became Spelman College, and five years later affiliated itself with Atlanta University.
