N.C. A&T Alumni

It is with heavy hearts that we announce legendary Dean Emeritus Quiester Craig, who led the School of Business and Economics for an unprecedented 40 years, shepherding it to extraordinary heights, has passed away. We offer sincere thoughts, prayers and condolences to family, friends and all who knew and loved him. Dr. Craig served as dean from 1972 until 2013. Under his 40-year tenure, the then business school accomplished achievements unprecedented in HBCU business education, including becoming the first HBCU to earn accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. While we could never quantify his immense life, career and impact, additional tribute is available online https://lnkd.in/dB4mVdpN

What an inspiring morning at McNair Elementary! It was such an honor to have our 2025 Business Leaders Hall of Fame laureate, Shirley Frye, step into her granddaughter’s classroom to deliver impactful Junior Achievement programming. Her dedication to shaping the next generation truly exemplifies the power of community leaders in education. Thank you, Shirley, for giving back and inspiring future leaders right where it matters most—our classrooms! #JuniorAchievement #BusinessHallOfFame #InspiringLeaders #EducationMatters

Congratulations to this year’s #NCAT Homecoming Parade Grand Marshals, John R. and Kathy R. Hairston! Their love story began right here at North Carolina A&T in the classroom, and over 40 years later, their bond is stronger than ever—both with each other and with our beloved A&T. Their legacy of love and generosity shines brightly, with their names proudly displayed on the College of Health and Human Sciences—a true testament to their unwavering commitment to Dear A&T. #AggiePride #AggieLove #NCATHomecoming”

In the words of Fall Convocation keynote speaker Dr. Patrena Benton Elliott: "There is something different about an Aggie...Stop trying to explain it, but keep exemplifying it." Congratulations to all alumni award winners and continued appreciation for our student athletes.
