N.C. A&T to
Honor Rev. Jesse Jackson with Day of
Service on April 23
Contact: Charity
L. Cohen, staff writer, clcohen@ncat.edu
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (April 14,
2026) – North Carolina Agricultural
and Technical State University will
honor the life and legacy of beloved
alumnus the Rev. Jesse Jackson with
a university-wide day of service.
Set for Thursday, April 23, during
National Volunteer Month, the Rev.
Jesse Louis Jackson Sr. '64 Day of
Service, proclaimed by Chancellor
James R. Martin II, calls on Aggie
Nation to engage in meaningful acts
of service, civic engagement and
community uplift in tribute to the
distinguished alumnus.
"Rev. Jesse Jackson was an
incredible representation of
service. He served this university,
he served the country, he served the
world, and we have an opportunity on
that day to remember him but to also
do what Aggies do, which is make the
world better," said Martin. "As a
university, our job is to make our
region, our state, and our nation
better, but that begins with
service."
Students, faculty, staff and alumni
will participate in a variety of
service projects, from supporting
the Aggie Source Food Pantry and
Habitat for Humanity to gardening, a
"plant-to-pantry" initiative and
creating greeting cards for the
United Way of Greater Greensboro's
Family Success Center. Alumni
chapters across the country also
will host projects in their own
communities.
Other local volunteer sites,
initiatives and organizations that
will be supported include Cross the
Street Ray Warren, Nourish the Block
at the University Farm, Food
Recovery Network, Plant to Pantry,
Sleep in Heavenly Peace, Greensboro
Beautiful Campus Clean-Up and Ivy
Pull with the Alpha Phi Chapter of
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.
The day will begin with a kickoff
program, "From Vision to Action:
Honoring a Legacy Through Service,"
from 9 to 9:30 a.m. at the
Reflecting Pool across from the
Student Center, 1403 John W.
Mitchell Drive. The program will
feature remarks from representatives
across campus divisions and
departments, highlighting different
aspects of Jackson's experience as a
student at North Carolina A&T.
Following the program, volunteers
will depart for designated service
sites, with a march from the
Reflecting Pool to the
Alumni-Foundation Event Center, 200
N. Benbow Road.
Rooted in the university's
land-grant mission, the observance
honors Jackson's lifelong commitment
to advancing human dignity,
opportunity and justice, while
inspiring a new generation of Aggies
to lead with purpose, resilience and
social responsibility.
In addition to serving in the
community, Aggies can honor Rev.
Jackson's legacy by giving back to
A&T in support of student success.
Contributions made in conjunction
with the Day of Service help provide
critical resources and opportunities
that empower the next generation of
leaders. |

through NASA and U.S.
Department of
Energy-funded research
projects. Through a
collaboration with

solving these problems
by looking at multiple
perspectives," said
Lyubov Kurkalova, Ph.D.,
professor of economics
in A&T's Willie A. Deese
College of Business and
Economics and
co-principal
investigator for both
research projects. "I've
seen that such exposure
has been very effective
for students in
broadening the horizons
and helping them figure
out what they want to do
professionally."

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C.
(April 17, 2026) — North
Carolina Agricultural
and Technical State
University has been
selected as one of 16
institutions to
participate in
From Campus to Career,
a national initiative
supported by the
Lumina Foundation
designed to scale
career-connected
high-impact practices (HIPs)
and strengthen workforce
outcomes for students.
Through the initiative,
N.C. A&T's Office of

cohort-based support
from national higher
education intermediaries
to expand and strengthen
career-connected
learning opportunities.
High-impact practices
such as internships,
undergraduate research,
service learning,
capstone projects and
student employment are
widely associated with
increased student
engagement, deeper
learning and higher
completion rates. This
initiative focuses on
intentionally connecting
those experiences to
career pathways and
labor market demand so
that students graduate
prepared to demonstrate
the skills employers
need. Link |
UNC System study finds
growing workforce gaps
as economy expands
Report
shows 5,000 to 10,000
additional college
graduates needed
annually to meet NC job
demands
MORGANTON — North
Carolina's economy is
growing faster than
its population of
skilled workers,
according to a new study
from the University of
North Carolina
System. The study, 2026 UNC
System Workforce
Alignment Report, predicts significant talent gaps
in critical fields such
as nursing, engineering and
education, and
shows job growth
across most sectors.
North Carolina is
expected to add
approximately 260,000
new jobs by
2034, according to the
report,
which references employer data from
the North Carolina
Department of Commerce.
And when North Carolina
needs talent, it largely
comes from the state's
public universities,
according to data from
the UNC System and the
Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data
System. UNC System
institutions provide 71%
of all North
Carolina degrees at a
bachelor's level
or above. In
critical fields, that
number
is higher still. Statewide,
the System provides 75%
of all bachelor's-and-higher degrees
in areas such
as nursing, engineering and
education.
"The
opportunity for North
Carolina is
enormous, and we are
grateful to live in a
state that has a track
record of strong support
for higher education,"
said UNC Board of
Governors Chair Wendy
Murphy. "Our focus is on
preparing students for
the jobs that will
define our future, and
we look forward to
serving the state as it
grows." Link |

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Feb. 23, 2026) –
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University will host its 2026 Spring Career Fair on
Tuesday, Feb. 24, from noon to 5 p.m. in the
Alumni-Foundation Event Center and Corbett Sports
Center.
Hosted by the Office of Career Services,
the spring career fair follows the largest career fair
in university history that took place in fall 2025,
where 420 employers and 6,274 students and alumni
participated at First Horizon Coliseum at the Greensboro
Complex.
The Feb. 24 event on campus continues the
university’s long-standing legacy as having the most
comprehensive career fair in the University of North
Carolina System. The event’s continued growth in
employer demand and student engagement reaffirms N.C.
A&T’s position as a nationally sought-after source of
top talent.
“With 240 employers registered this
spring, the momentum continues,” said Nina O. Davis,
Ed.D., executive director for Career Services.
“Employers know that at A&T, they will meet candidates
who are prepared, ambitious and ready to lead.”
 The career fair welcomes recruiters from
a wide array of industries – including engineering,
business, health sciences, agriculture, communications,
education, technology and government – offering
thousands of career pathways from internships to
full-time positions. Emphasis added. Many
recruiters also participate in next-day interviews.
The event is open to all A&T students and alumni,
regardless of major or classification. |

Combines Tech with Social Justice
through Hey Justice App

communications specialist
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C.
(Jan. 21, 2026) – North Carolina
Agricultural and Technical State
University political science senior
Danielle Bunker is turning legal
confusion into clarity with Hey Justice,
a technology-driven app that blends
social justice and digital innovation to
support those navigating the justice
system.
Bunker began developing
the app in July 2025 after identifying a
legal access gap impacting communities
nationwide.
“A lack of understanding
of legal documents can put people at
serious risk,” said Bunker. “Missed
court dates lead to active warrants,
fines and potential jail time.”
Advanced artificial
intelligence powers Bunker’s development
to connect the legal system with
technology. The app simplifies legal
documents and helps individuals navigate
the system by tracking court dates and
sharing real-time location during
encounters with law enforcement.
According to Bunker,
existing legal platforms largely focus
on lawyers and corporations, leaving
everyday users without the necessary
tools to manage the challenges of the
legal system.
The app translates
complex legal documents into accessible
language including Ebonics, Spanish and
standard American English, tracks court
dates and delivers live audio and video
streaming to emergency contacts during
traffic stops.
“We are not a
nonprofit or a charity. We are a
business geared toward social impact and
social justice,” said Bunker. “With our
features, we reach multiple demographics
because accessibility matters,
especially for communities of color.” emphasis

N.C. A&T Doubles Down on Academic Advising
Enhancements as Gateway to Student Success |
|
By Devon Smith, Division of
Academic Affairs communications director, dtsmith1@ncat.edu
EAST
GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 30, 2026) – With a
strategic commitment to enhancing academic
advising, North Carolina Agricultural and
Technical State University has doubled its
professional advising staff resulting in a
nearly 8% increase in retention rate.
 The
growth within N.C. A&T’s Center for Academic
Excellence (CAE), a critical student success
unit on campus, allows for about 6,000
freshmen and sophomores to receive
professional guidance from trained advisors
for two years, and transfer students for at
least their first semester. This shift
helped boost retention from 73.1% for the
fall 2022 cohort to 81% for the fall 2024
cohort, positioning students for stronger
academic outcomes and timely graduation.
“Increasing retention rates affirms
investing in professional advising –
particularly during students’ first and
second years – was not only necessary, but
essential to advancing student success,
improving time to degree, and ensuring our
students remain on a clear path to
graduation,” said Dawn Nail, Ed.D., interim
associate vice provost for Enrollment
Management who most recently served as CAE
executive director.
While
A&T continues to offer robust academic
support resources such as the Writing
Center, tutoring labs and math remediation,
the most transformative change has been the
redesigned advising model.
In
2023, CAE began providing professional
advising for all first-time freshmen –
previously a service reserved for undecided
students, while those with declared majors
were advised by faculty.
Ahead
of the fall 2024 semester, the center
extended its reach to sophomores and hiring
more advising staff, signaling that advising
is not just a support service but a
cornerstone of student achievement. Link |
UNC
System joins U.S. Census Bureau postsecondary employment
outcomes initiative New
database helps students and families explore career and
earnings outcomes ANDY
WALLACE
RALEIGH, N.C. – Students
and families increasingly want clear information
about the value and return of a college degree. The
University of North Carolina System is helping provide
those answers.
With support from the North Carolina Department of
Commerce, the UNC System has joined the U.S. Census
Bureau’s Postsecondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO)
initiative, an
interactive database that provides
visibility into earnings and employment outcomes across
a wide range of academic programs.
“North Carolina has a growing, dynamic economy, and our
public universities offer great pathways to a fulfilling
career,” said UNC System President Peter Hans. “This
will help students explore their options and find a
degree program that matches their interests and
ambitions. We are grateful to the North Carolina
Department of Commerce for its support.”
The decision to join PSEO is part of the UNC
System’s ongoing effort to demonstrate the value
of a UNC System degree to
students and families.
The interactive tool, hosted on the Census Bureau
website, allows users to compare outcomes one, five and
10 years after graduation, including data comparing
career outcomes for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral
degree holders. link |

for Creation of a Center and Foundation
established as a nonprofit corporation. The
affiliation agreement called NC A&T and UNCG
to  take
steps to facilitate the creation of a
Foundation for Knowledge Based Economic
Development - established as nonprofit
corporation - whose
purpose will be to receive, hold, and invest
private monies, royalties and other
non-public grant proceeds which maybe given
to or derived from the research and
development activities conducted under this
agreement. |

NC A&T Chancellor
Harold Martin, Sr. was A&T lead on
Knowledge Based
Economic Development Agreement. |
" Dr. Harold Martin, provost at N.C.
A&T, said: "The proposed Knowledge Based
Economic Development initiative with A&T and
UNCG is an exceptional opportunity for both
universities and our faculties as we create
a tremendous way to extract successful
university research and program ways to
stimulate economic development throughout
the broader community. These types of
collaborative efforts are becoming a more
important part of the expanded role
for universities. Emphasis added. A&T
and UNCG will essentially be serving as the
catalyst to ‘grow new jobs' and expand the
economic development base for the community
we serve." [N.C. A&T, UNCG SIGN JOINT

 Greensboro
City's Greensboro
Connections 2025 Comprehensive Plan was
adopted May 2003.
A key principle of the Comprehensive Plan is to promote
economic development in historically under-served parts
of the City such as East Greensboro. Properties in these
areas should receive priority consideration as the City
designates and promotes land for economic development.
The NCA&TSU Farm site is one such candidate. 7D.3
Promote economic development through public/private
partnerships to include government, economic development
agencies, educational and health care institutions, and
businesses. Build on existing partnerships and
initiatives in this effort. Examples include:
|
|
University-related research and development
opportunities with UNCG and NCA&TSU (building on
the example of the Nussbaum Center incubator facility)[ One
of their primary tasks will be keeping tabs on research
at the two universities, in areas such as engineering
and sciences, that might have commercial uses. They will
look for existing companies that could benefit from that
research and explore the potential of using it to create
start-up businesses.]

Understanding with the U.S.

the National Resources

Eastern Regional Technology
Center whose service area
consisted of 24 states and
the Caribbean area. The
Greensboro Center was also
home to the remote  sensing
lab. The Memorandum of
Understanding says A&T has a
working farm with modern
facilities and farm
equipment. NRCS will benefit
from the use of this farm
by being able to provide
hands-on training to NRCS
employees. NRCS can sponsor
field studies that can serve
as  demonstrations
to both NRCS trainees and
also local and regional
farmers. A
negotiated action under
