N.C. A&T’s Deese College Ranks Among Best Business Schools for Women in 2021   Jackie Torok

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (March 5, 2021) – North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University’s Willie A. Deese College of Business and Economics is among the nation’s “Best Business Schools for Women 2021,” according to College Consensus.

“There are a variety of high-quality degrees to choose from at every level” in the Deese College, said College Consensus in ranking N.C. A&T No. 11 on its list of 50. “In addition to the high-quality programs, more than 60% of Deese College students are women.”

The website also notes that the Deese College boasts many prominent alumnae, including Kelly Richmond Pope, Ph.D., who was named one of the 25 Most Powerful Women in Accounting for 2020 by The American Institute of CPAs and CPA Practice Advisor.

“Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in business is a key strategic initiative of the Deese College, and gender equity is a significant part of that effort,” said Kevin L. James, Ph.D., Deese College dean. “We are pleased that our work to promote technical and leadership competence among women has been recognized in a prominent way.”

The Deese College has been accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International since 1979, when it became the first university in the Piedmont-Triad area to earn the organization’s prestigious stamp of quality. U.S. News & World Report also consistently ranks the Deese College among the best business schools in the country, College Consensus noted.

A&T is the only public North Carolina institution ranked among the top 15 on this College Consensus list.

“Combining real-world knowledge and skills with what is learned in the classroom is essential to excelling in business,” College Consensus said. “The schools on our best business schools for women list all include female faculty and staff who understand the unique balance that it takes to be a successful part of the business industry as a woman.”

College Consensus researched and ranked the nation’s Best Business Schools for Women by identifying the top business schools in the country – based on AACSB accreditation and rankings by Forbes, The Economist, Bloomberg Business Week, The Financial Times, and U.S. News & World Report – then identified those with highest percentage of female students. Each business school on the list also has women faculty, administrators or leaders guiding the students and/or the business school as a whole.

 NCCU Rallies Past Lancers for First Win
Kevin Buczek

DURHAM, N.C. — The North Carolina Central University women’s tennis team won four of its five contested singles matches to overcome an early 2-nil deficit and defeat Longwood University, 4-3, on Friday afternoon at the NCCU Tennis Courts.

 

Freshman Maria Picazo (Madrid, Spain) clinched the victory in the final match of the day. A couple other freshmen in Jade Houston (Raleigh, N.C.) and Josefa Fernandez (Santiago, Chile) started NCCU’s comeback with their own singles wins before junior Ivana Dragovic (Novi Sad, Serbia) leveled the match at 3-3 with her singles triumph.

 

NCCU improved to 1-4 on the season while Longwood dipped to 1-3.

 

The Lancers were able to take the early lead with the Eagles forfeiting No. 3 doubles and No. 6 single because of an injury. A 6-0 win on court two clinched the doubles point for Longwood.

 

Houston and Fernandez won their doubles bout for the maroon and gray on the first court. It was the first victory for that tandem.

 

All four of NCCU’s singles wins were in straight sets.

 

Houston was the first player to get in the win column with her 6-3, 6-2 triumph at the third position in NCCU’s lineup. Houston defeated sophomore Maria Saez for her first collegiate singles win.

 

Fernandez ended her match just minutes later, topping freshman No. 2 Adelaide Thuilot by a 6-4, 6-1 margin.

 

Longwood regained a brief 3-2 team lead with a No. 1 singles win by junior Emma Nurgazieva over senior Maru Berghaus (Cologne, Germany).

 

Dragovic leveled the score again at the fourth position in the hosts lineup. Dragovic defeated junior Crystal Nzewi by matching 6-4 set scores for her first win of the season.

 

Picazo completed NCCU’s singles rally with the most convincing win of the day. Picazo only lost three games on the way to her to 6-0, 6-3 conquest of freshman No. 5 Zoe Barton.
