It would be nice to tie our acadamic performance/giving to athletics and Google become a corporate sponsor!
I wonder if our folks have asked this question? It would be great tie to joing the Big South conference....
The one year I was corporate campus executive, I ensured the company gave more to A&T for scholarships and such....we even beat the big boys.
Even received permission to begin giving to athletics the following year but an "A&T" millenial went to the man and told them it was a bad idea.....I departed the following year so giving dropped of on the academic side also.

You don’t want to know but she and her mom confronted me at A&T during a campus visit with engineering leadership saying I basically was treating her like a child…maybe I was but she was 25 and I was 50ish at the time…never spoke to either one again….😂✔️😂😂 |
