Coppin State President Stanley Battle will be introduced as the new Chancellor of North Carolina A&T State University this afternoon in a scheduled press conference on the Greensboro campus.
Battle took over Coppin State in 2003 leading them from college to university status. Previously he had served as vice chancellor of student and multicultural affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
The 55-year old Battle has extensive experience in developing academic improvement among low performing students in secondary education. He is a 1973 graduate of Springfield College, 2 master degrees, one in social work from the University of Connecticut and another in public health from the University of Pittsburgh. He earned his doctorate from Pittsburgh in 1980.

After reading his bio, I knew he would be the kind of candidate our BOT would recommend. He and his wife (who is a lawyer) have been active in the community, social, church, etc. While at UW-M he was responsible for a $250 million budget (part of his responsibility there was athletics). He has the reputation as a "get it done" kinda guy. Moving Coppin from a college to a university was not a task that people thought could be accomplished in such a short time. I'm ready for a change.

Will not having "Dr" in front of his name hurt?
