Bishop McKenzie - Fall Commencement Speaker '09 Print E-mail

FIRST FEMALE BISHOP OF AME CHURCH IS NCCU’S FALL COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER DURHAM, N.C.

Bishop Vashti Murphy McKenzie, who calls herself the woman who “broke through the stained glass ceiling,” will deliver the fall commencement address at North Carolina Central University on Friday, December 12, 2009, at 9 a.m. in the McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium on NCCU’s campus.

McKenzie is a woman of “firsts.” In 2000, she became the first woman bishop elected in the 213-year history of the church, and the first female bishop to preside over the Council of Bishops. McKenzie, from 2004 to 2008, served as chair of the general conference commission of the AME Church.

As the 117th prelate of the African-American Methodist Church, covering the 13th Episcopal District, McKenzie oversees areas including Tennessee and Kentucky. Recently, the bishop was selected as a member of President Barack Obama’s Faith-based Council. Bishop McKenzie has been called a dynamic and passionate speaker and a minister who believes the church must play a significant role in black communities here and abroad.

In the past, she has worked to renew communities in Baltimore, Md., Dayton, Ohio, and Atlanta, Ga. Bishop McKenzie helped build or expand computer labs, schools, daycare centers, businesses, and churches in Southeast Africa in Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, and Mozambique.

NCCU’S MARCHING SOUND MACHINE SELECTED FOR THE

2011 TOURNAMENT OF ROSES PARADE

DURHAM, N.C. – North Carolina Central University formally announced the unexpected selection of its Marching Sound Machine band for the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, Calif.  Under the directorship of Jorim E. Reid, North Carolina Central University will take part in the famous New Year’s Day parade considered to be one of this country’s triple crown of marching band honors.  

“There is Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the John Philip Sousa Foundation’s Sudler Trophy for most outstanding college or university band, and the Tournament of Roses Parade,” said Reid.  “The Rose Parade was in my 15-year plan.  I didn’t intend to submit an application for another seven years.”

But Reid’s success over the course of his initial eight years as director at NCCU, particularly his band’s five consecutive appearances at the annual Honda Battle of the Bands (HBOB), gained the attention of Rose Parade officials.  The rumor was that he should take a chance and apply.
