In North Carolina In North Carolina Agricultural And

the student made the bricks to build the building in which
to be educated, the LORD established
a Land Grant University where the sons |
and daughters of former slaves
and slave owners, coal miners daughters and sons, alleged
trailer park trash, working people, and the disenfranchised
World Wide, can potentially move pass their pass, working
together through shared experiences and competition,
potentially embracing the ideal they don't have to kill
each other, as they prepare for their future in an education
setting accessing world wide education opportunities at the highest
levels. NC
A&T working with others institutions shall established joint
academic programs with other HBCUs expanding institutions
offering jobs with a future.

May 19, 1999, UNCG Chancellor Patricia Sullivan
and NC A&T Chancellor Edward Forte signed Knowledge
Based Economic Development An Affiliation
Agreement Between North
Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University and The University of North Carolina
At Greensboro calling
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.
|
 |
| IV Cooperative Efforts: In addition
to creation of the Center and Foundation, NCA&T
and UNCG agree to extend and expand their
cooperative efforts with the goal of increasing
high quality research in order to stimulate
Knowledge based economic development in the
Greensboro, and greater Piedmont-Triad area. |
|
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 RESEARCH

organizations and UNC Greensboro has
not changed their spots. In
1970, the United States Department of Health, Education,

Prior to 1969 the University of North Carolina consisted
of three majority serving white post secondary

additional institutions had joined the University
through legislative action: the University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, the University of North Carolina
at Asheville, and the University of North Carolina at
Wilmington".
 In
1971, the Supreme Court’s ruling in Swann v.

NCA&T State University has been funded at an average
rate of $3-5 million per year in the area of nanoscience
and nanotechnology. Most of the research in nanoengineering
is done in the Center for Advanced Materials and Smart

under CAMSS, including the NSF Center for Research
Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST), the DoD
Center for Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and
Multifunctional Materials (CNN) for Homeland Security,
the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center (NSEC),
the NSF project on US/Europe Materials Collaboration:
Self-Organized Nanostructured Thin Films for Catalysis,
the NSF project on Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research

facilitates many of the materials research activities of
the NASA-National Institute for Aerospace (NIA). In

primary goal of the school
is to be a world leader in

| In addition to degree
programs in nanoscience and nanoengineering,
JSNN will engage in research and outreach, as
well as the expected roles of a land-grant
institution, such as teaching agriculture and
engineering, and providing cooperative extension
services. The JSNN facilities will be located
on land that was formerly part of the NC A&T
farm. |
|
| |
| UNCG will act as the financial manager for JSNN
beginning in fiscal year "09-'10, using a budget
accounting code established for JSNN. JSNN will follow
all UNCG Budget and fiscal management policies and
procedures. NC A&T will be designated as the campus
responsible for the upkeep of the buildings, but upon
receipt of the Building Operation and Maintenance money
for JSNN, will transfer the money to Gateway University
Research park in accordance with the Management Services
and Development Agreement between Gateway, NC A&T and

| When all of the occupations which
will be affected by nanotechnology will require a BS in
