N.C. A&T to Install Chancellor James R. Martin II on 135th Founders Day  Jackie Torok
 
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Jan. 28, 2026) – North 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 Harrison Auditorium on campus.

Martin was selected in 2024 as the 13th chancellor of North Carolina A&T, and since taking office that fall, he has led an aggressive agenda of building external partnerships with agencies and corporations, enhancement of university operations, hiring a long list of vice chancellors and deans and speeding 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 St., Greensboro.  See ceremony at  https://www.ncat.edu/

N.C. A&T College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences Debuts Community Resource Page

 Lydian Bernhardt

EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Dec. 4, 2025) – The College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences (CAES) at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State 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 Technical State University’s Farmer-to-Farmer Program. A regular at the downtown farmer’s market in Winston-Salem, Switzer also regularly assists other Forsyth County, North Carolina, 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 Food Pantry and the N.C. Agromedicine Institute, have collaborated with the college and N.C. A&T Cooperative Extension staff to address critical, immediate needs and to provide long-term educational programs.  link

Union Square Campus is a key initiative of Opportunity Greensboro, a working group of leaders from Greensboro businesses, foundations and higher education institutions. This national model of collaboration is identifying and acting on opportunities to transform our wealth of educational assets into economic success—creating for Greensboro a competitive advantage for business growth. The proposed campus is designed to drive economic and workforce development for a knowledge based, global economy. 
The presence of a downtown university campus provides a vehicle to spur additional economic growth in the way of housing, retail stores and other opportunities. The first campus building will focus on training and education for healthcare professions.  The facility is intended to focus on healthcare professionals and will 
house expansion of the Universities’ programs in nursing, and Greensboro’s healthcare system, Cone Health, will use the facility to train staff.
