- This doesn't seem kosher. N.C. A&T’s Senior Leader to Retire June 30th
North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University Chancellor Stanley F. Battle announced the retirement of the institution’s second highest official this morning. Dr. Janice G. Brewington, provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs, will retire June 30, 2008.
The University will conduct a national search to find a successor. An interim to assume this position will be appointed prior to July 1, 2008.
“As chief academic officer for the past two years, Provost Brewington has played a stellar role in keeping North Carolina A&T State University on a successful, strategic course,” Battle said. “We will sorely miss an ultimate professional and our top leader of undergraduate and graduate instruction, scholarly excellence, and effective public service.”
Battle appointed Brewington as his second in command upon arriving as the 11th chancellor of N.C. A&T on July 1, 2007. Brewington was part of Battle’s first wave of Senior Cabinet announcements.
N.C. A&T Chancellor Emeritus James C. Renick appointed Brewington as interim provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs on May 1, 2006, to replace Dr. Carolyn W. Meyers who became president of Norfolk State University. Brewington continued in this role while Dr. Lloyd V. Hackley served as A&T chancellor during the interim period.
Brewington has held key leadership positions in A&T’s Division of Academic Affairs. She served as assistant dean and interim dean in the School of Nursing and associate vice chancellor for academic affairs/institutional planning, assessment and research. She previously held this role before taking an administrative leave for one year as a corporate manager.
In 2004-2005, Brewington was an executive on loan with The Gillette Company in Boston, Mass., as the manager for the university relations department in talent acquisitions, global shared services for North America. She managed college recruitment for businesses across the Company, aligned with corporate strategy.
Originally from Greensboro, Brewington received a B.S.N. degree from A&T, a M.S.N. degree from Emory University, and a Ph.D. degree in health policy and administration from the School of Public Health, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She minored in organizational behavior at the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Business.
She has served on various community boards including Moses Cone Health System Board of Trustees, United Way of Greater Greensboro, Hospice and Palliative Care of Greensboro, Guilford Technical Community College Board of Trustees, Well Spring Board of Directors, and Guilford Adult Health Advisory Committee.
