North Carolina Central University

North Carolina is home to more Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) than any other state besides Alabama. Rosalind Fuse-Hall, Executive Assistant to the Chancellor at North Carolina Central University, believes that our citizens should know more about these institutions - their rich history, legendary leaders, influential contributions, competitive academic programs, and state-of-the-art facilities. Her presentation introduced students to these topics through a chronological journey that examined developments in the higher education of blacks in America, from the early 1800s to present day. Armed with a new appreciation for the distinct role of HBCUs in American higher education, students were challenged to take a course, attend a cultural event, and consider graduate and professional studies at one of North Carolina's fine HBCUs.
