The Foundation and Alumni Event Center. From what I was told, Tom Ross was so impressed with A&T and our campus that he wanted to be installed here.

It probably will be in Corbett, considering where previous Chancellor installation ceremonies have been held.

You are probably right Aggie08,M.Ed. I think the reception is in the Event Center.

Tom has family here and when he was on the Superior Court bench in Guilford County for years he lived here and now again lives here in Greensboro with his family after his stint at Davidson.
He's been a long time supporter of the university even though no one ever mentions it in public.
