Attracting over 40,000 people each year, North Carolina A&T State University's Homecoming is the grandiose event of the season.
A&T strives to live up to its title as "The Greatest Homecoming on Earth." Alumni, friends, and family come back "home" to have a great time and bask in AGGIE PRIDE. On the other hand, as hard as A&T works to make homecoming a success, not everyone is satisfied.
"I do think that there could be more activities that engage the faculty and staff of A&T," says Nora Shively, the grants development coordinator in the division of research and economic development.
Ms. Shively continued by explaining that the staff and faculty of A&T are the missing piece of Aggie Land during homecoming. This institution would not be successful if it were not for the possession of its loyal employees. Because of their dedication to the Aggie Family, we should ensure that they are included in homecoming festivities.
Q: Do you think that A&T Homecoming has something to offer faculty and staff?
A: Yes, with the events that we have, the faculty can attend.
Q: Do you think that there could be more activities?
A: Oh yes, it definitely could be more for the faculty and staff. For example, when Jesse Jackson Sr. came to speak to A&T, he spoke to the students. It would be very nice if he could have spoken to the faculty as well. There are a lot of prestigious alumni and I think the faculty would really appreciate and benefit from having seminars that are also geared towards faculty. It would be great if the faculty were an engaged and felt included in homecoming, too.
Q: Did you attend any events during homecoming? If so, which events?
A: I attended A&T's Convocation and it instilled such pride. It pumps us up again. We are reminded of what a privilege A&T is to all of us. The department of research also had a lunch and a breakfast where we all brought food and enjoyed each other's company while feasting.
Q: Rate your AGGIE PRIDE on a scale of 1-10.
A: My AGGIE PRIDE is a nine! Since I've gotten connected to the faculty and the institution, my pride has grown tremendously.
The Aggie Family is not complete until we have all of the pieces to the puzzle.
