businessnc.com/n-c-ats-accelerating-ambition/N.C. A&T State University is poised to become a top-level research university under Harold Martin Sr., who became chancellor at the Greensboro campus in 2006. He rubs shoulders with Gov. Roy Cooper, snipping a wide gold ribbon while faculty members, Greensboro townspeople and industry executives cheer. Some chant, “Aggie Pride!” This, says the lanky, one-time standout on the basketball court in a ribbon-matching yellow tie, symbolizes “possibilities for the future.” The new, $90 million, glass-walled building behind him bears his name. It’s the Harold L. Martin Sr. Engineering Research & Innovation Complex. When the longtime chancellor of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University finishes speaking, guests at the February grand opening wander through a lab where a robot hoists 40-pound loads with remarkably human-like movements, accompanied by Spot, a mechanical dog.

That's one of the longest articles I've ever seen in a 3rd party publication about A&T. A business publication at that.

We may be growing too fast for our current infrastructure. We have room for improvement there.

Since we were founded, we have always faced obstacles...overt racism, government underfunding and self-doubt. And yet we rise.
Ready or not Dr. Martin is moving forward...and I support his decision 100%! I may question his decisions around sports but when it comes to our academic future, he's been brilliant.

We may be growing too fast for our current infrastructure. We have room for improvement there. To a certain extent, yes. But on the other hand, our infrastructure can handle just about the same amount of students UNCG has. We're also housing over 45% of our students in on-campus housing. |

What do you think should be our sweet spot? I think the sweet spot is 15,000 students, with most of that growth coming from the graduate programs with the increased focus on research. www.ncat.edu/provost/ospie/analytics/factbook/enrollment.php |

I like that. Grad students generate research and research dollars and less concerned with living on campus🤣🫠🙄🤣. |
