NCCU Celebrating 100 Years

On July 5, 1910, the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race--which would later become North Carolina Central University--welcomed its first generation of students. The school was chartered by a black pharmacist named James Edward Shepard and went on to become a comprehensive state university, offering more than 100 fields of study and graduate degrees in nearly 40 disciplines. Find out more about the history of this institution and its current leadership's vision for the future.
