Do you know what is important to NCCU thriving in the “New Normal”? Increased alumni giving for scholarships, recruiting quality students, retaining those students, and increasing the graduation rate! 

In January, Chancellor Nelms addressed the Alumni Council and expressed these concerns with us.  The “New Normal” was addressed in an earlier edition of NCCU Now and discusses what that means in today’s environment in higher education.  In February, an edition of the Campus Echo featured an article from the Student Government Association Vice President, Carmelo Montalvo, who eloquently spoke from a student’s perspective of his understanding of the new expectations and wanted his fellow undergraduates to understand their responsibility with retention and graduation rates.
