Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University will celebrate the 135th anniversary
of its founding and hold the installation
ceremony of Chancellor James R. Martin II in
a joint ceremony Monday, March 9, 2026, in

Martin was

the university’s path toward attaining the
nation’s top designation for research
universities.
His
installation will celebrate those
accomplishments and shine a bright light on
his vision for the university as A&T
celebrates its long-venerated Founders Day,
making the date in 1891 when the university
was established by the N.C. General Assembly
as the Agricultural and Mechanical College
for the Colored Race. The university’s
establishment and ongoing success are
celebrated each year at Founders Day
Convocation. The March 9 ceremony will begin
at 10 a.m. in the auditorium at 1009 Bluford

Agricultural and

University has added a
“Community Resources”
page to its website,
designed to help members
of the East Greensboro,
Triad and North Carolina
communities find
support, especially when
facing unexpected
challenges.

Vern
Switzer of Rural Hall,
North Carolina, is among
several farmers from
across the state
selected as mentors for
Cooperative Extension at
North Carolina
Agricultural and

Farmer-to-Farmer
Program. A regular at
the downtown farmer’s
market in Winston-Salem,
Switzer also regularly
assists other Forsyth

farmers in their quests
for profitable
alternative crops and
cost-effective
production methods.
The page, https://www.ncat.edu/caes/community-resources/index.php,
links to educational and
practical information
offered through
Cooperative Extension at
N.C. A&T and CAES
outreach programs, but
primarily focuses on
community resources
outside the college and
the university. Many,
such as the Aggie Source

have collaborated with
the college and N.C. A&T

critical, immediate
needs and to provide

 Addressed

State University, the 1890 land-grant
institution in your state, while producing
extraordinary graduates that contribute
greatly to the state’s economy and the
fabric of our nation, has not been able to
advance in ways that are on par with North
Carolina State University at Raleigh, the
original Morrill Act of 1862 land-grant
institution in your state, in large part
due to unbalanced funding. Unquotable
funding of the 1890 institution in your
state has caused a severe financial gap, in
the last 30 years alone, an additional $2,079,934,848 would
have been available for the university. Video Link |

There, cutting-edge research could be spun off into
