October Tuesdays Together National Speaker Series Conversation
The North Carolina Central University School of Education's Higher Education Administration Graduate Program invites you to the October Tuesdays Together National Speaker Series conversation with Dr. Karrie G. Dixon, 13th Chancellor of North Carolina Central University; Chancellor Dixon will mark her first 100 days in October 2024.
Dr. Dixon served as the 7th Chancellor of Elizabeth City State University, bringing forth a renaissance to a campus that previously experienced enrollment declines and financial pressures. During her tenure as chancellor, Dixon grew enrollment by nearly 70%, raised $24 million in private gifts and built partnerships that led to nearly $300 million in state and federal funding for facilities, infrastructure and academic programs. In two years’ time, employee morale moved from lowest in the UNC System to the highest.
Chancellor Dixon has worked within the UNC System for 23 years, moving up the ranks in academic positions at the UNC System Office, including as Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs, Senior Associate Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs and Assistant Vice President for Academic and Student Affairs. Previously, she was Assistant Vice Provost at NC State University and before that served as a Program Assessment Consultant in NC State’s Department of Chemical Engineering. She was an Adjunct Assistant Professor at NC State’s College of Education and taught communication at NC State and University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
She served a one-year American Council on Education Fellowship at Wake Forest University in 2016–2017. She has been a longtime ally of the UNC Association of Student Governments and recently received the student organization’s top award, the William C. Friday Lifetime Achievement Award.
A first-generation college graduate, Dixon holds a bachelor’s degree in communication from NC State University, a master’s degree in speech communication from UNC Greensboro, and a Doctor of Education degree in higher education administration from NC State University.
The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Tryan L. McMickens, Associate Professor of Higher Education and Director of the M.S.Ed. in Higher Education Administration Graduate Program at North Carolina Central University.
