TURNING PROMISING STUDENTS INTO ACCOMPLISHED GRADUATES

A&T graduates enter the workplace ready to have an immediate impact. That's why
our alumni early career earnings are among the highest in the University of
North Carolina System.

A&T also ranks among the top universities nationally in upward social mobility:
its success in educating grads who make a significant jump in their standard of
living. All of that helps explain why 96 percent of A&T alumni said in a Gallup
survey they would earn their degrees all over again, if given the chance.

I started pursuing my Economics degree in 2013. I was faced with the obstacle of
going through a domestic violence situation which caused me to pause my journey
before I was able to finish a full semester. I took some time off and started
back in 2017. I started getting my groove back being a student while working
full time because I was DETERMINED to get my degree! That was until 2020 when my
husband and I went through our first miscarriage, which led me into a spiraling
depression. Through all of that, I picked myself up, updated my vision board and
remembered the end goal! In 2021, I was blessed with a baby boy that became an
addition to our family. Of course with a new baby that meant I had to balance
being a full time student, wife AND mother which was a tough obstacle to
overcome at first!

While regrouping, and just as I was about to say I give up on this degree, I
found my old vision board that had my end goal which involved me opening up my
own adoption agency in the future! While going through many obstacles, I was
able to start my non profit organization called Faison Obstacles, Inc. The motto
is "You can FACE any obstacles thrown at you!” Throughout 2022, I started seeing
my why as I started getting close to finishing. I am beyond thankful and
grateful to say... I DID IT!! - Felita Faison

I am a first generation graduate. [My parents] had me at 18 and 19. My dad took
sole custody of me and we’ve been best friends since. He helped me pick A&T. But
I’ve had to afford college alone since my sophomore year. I’ve worked two jobs
at all times until I decided to study abroad fall 2022. I even extend my stay
for spring semester to just nomad in Okinawa, Japan, for four months.

I grew to love the Okinawan culture [so] it turned into five months! What I
didn’t know was Japan was made up of many islands and not just what they called
the “mainland”. I was swimming at the beach in December experiencing 70-degree
weather and sunny skies. For me, it was kinda like living a double life. I still
had six classes full time in the Eastern Time Zone, but living life in Japan
Standard Time.

I was able to fully explore nature with hikes, daily walks to the beach, visit
museums, and adapt to their relaxed approach to life they have called
Nankurunaisa(なんくるないさ), and at night I was able to get my work done while the
world was quiet. Things did get a bit complicated when interviewing for summer
internships as the time difference had me up at 2 am doing interviews with a
desk lamp, but as I explained my path they understood. This made me a better
student.

Japan added peace to my worldview, not living a part of a hustle and survival
culture for five months was just the breather I needed. I was able to create a
sense of home and felt comfortable as a black woman by getting my hair braided,
nails, and lashes, and even picking up new hobbies like surfing, ice skating,
and diving. I enjoyed just living peacefully.

I’ve had two internships during my college career: Wellsfargo as a consumer
lending intern as well as with Doosan Bobcat lead HR Co-op. A&T gave me the
world to explore and I will always give the love right back. - Makayla
Richardson

Tyler Carr, Jordan Philips and Kelsey Toney crossed paths in 2020. Jordan was
Carr and Toney’s instructor at Catawba Valley Community College. They all
learned about N.C. A&T through Dr. Antoine Alston, associate dean of the N.C.
A&T College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences. The trio decided to
pursue a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Education at A&T through the
university’s 2+2 Program. The program is designed to allow individuals with two
year degrees from select North Carolina Community College Agricultural Programs,
and the Agricultural Institute at N.C. State University, to transfer their
associate’s degree in an agricultural related discipline into the Bachelor of
Science in Agricultural Education at A&T.

Jordan says, “A&T has provided me, Tyler, and Kelsey a life-long friendship and
knowledge to further our future careers. We all will be walking across the stage
Dec. 16 and have plans to pursue the master’s program together. “

Congrats Aggies!

“I started A&T in 1996. My first major was music education. I was in the band
and really enjoying myself. It really hurt to have to leave. But I got put on
academic probation. They gave me a couple of options. I took the first option to
switch over to Manufacturing Systems to continue my college career. At the time,
I considered that I may have had a learning disability. But, I just didn’t have
the work ethic. I was at A&T until 2001. I just couldn’t get it together.
Honestly, I was trying to make sure that my brothers, who also graduated from
A&T, were okay when it was time for them to attend school.

I started at A&T with many of my hometown peers. I was one of few remaining at
school. No matter what, even if I didn’t complete it, I said, I’m not going back
home. It was tough. My parents didn’t know a lot about what was going on with me
at the time, but they could sense it, especially my mother.

Nearly 10 years later and many situations in between, I joined the navy. It was
never my plan. Never. But it’s been good for me. Maybe not to me, but it’s been
good for me. I’ve been stationed in Virginia, Mississippi, in North Carolina and
deployed to Guam.

One day I was at breakfast with my dad. We saw this lady. We exchanged “Aggie
Prides.” She asked me what year did I finish. I had to say that I didn’t. It was
so random, but then again, if you believe in the sovereignty of God, you’ll know
that it wasn’t random. She asked me if I had heard of the “Aggies at the Goal
Line” program. I hadn’t. Fast forward some time and a friend randomly told me I
should finish and suggested the same program. I couldn’t ignore it any longer.

It’s been a godsend. I look at the AGL program as greatness or symbolizing
greatness. The program was greatness calling out to me. One thing about
greatness is that it doesn’t go anywhere. It’s going to be right there whenever
you are ready for it. The program taught me how to value the education that I
was getting. When the student is ready, the teacher will come.” - Marco Vaughn

Beginning my journey at A&T in 2020 was untraditional since COVID hindered being
in person. While I couldn’t do much, I did run for Miss Freshman, which was out
of my comfort zone, I challenged myself because that is what Aggies Do.

Though I did not win the race, I was on the Chancellors list for both semesters
of that academic school year. The following year, I was physically on campus and
was involved in organizations such as 100 Collegiate Women, Association of Black
Psychologists, Georgia Aggies, Ladies of Excellence and Psychology Research
Club. In addition to my memberships, I was a Mental Health Advocate under the
North Carolina A&T Counseling Services and a dance instructor at Miriam’s Dance
Academy. Outside of school, I interned at The Hardy Clinic and was the youngest
intern they’ve ever had. I also had the opportunity to host a clothes drive that
benefited foster children and homeless women and children in the Atlanta area.

I also worked with Dr. Germain as a research assistant in her lab and was able
to assist with the building blocks of the Center of Excellence in Health
Disparities & Equity Research.

During my time at A&T, I have accumulated over 100 hours of community service,
networked with community members, was a substitute teacher for Guilford County
Schools and learned a lot about the community of Greensboro. My story isn't just
about personal achievements; it's a testament to the transformative power of
perseverance, community engagement, and the invaluable lessons learned within
the A&T family. As a first-generation student, I had no idea what was ahead of
me, but with support from friends, loved ones, and Aggie Pride, I was able to
walk across that stage on Dec.16 and receive my B.A. in Psychology. - Na’Zyia
