Alumni Programs
The Office of Alumni Relations offers a variety of programs to keep you informed and involved in campus life and provide you with opportunities to enhance your legacy of “Truth and Service.” We plan and implement special events, especially Homecoming, to help you stay connected to your alma mater and Eagle alumni.
Eagles, Let's Talk
The "Eagles, Let’s Talk" program was established to spark meaningful conversations among NCCU alumni, students, and friends of the university for the purpose of forming stronger ties to the NCCU community. These events will also serve as a mechanism to engage alumni in a more meaningful way.
Through the program, alumni are invited to serve as hosts who will identify other alumni in their network of family, friends, and colleagues to invite to an Eagles, Let’s Talk event. At the event, the hosts share information about current university opportunities and activities and help spread the excitement that being an engaged Eagle can bring.
The Office of Alumni Relations needs you to help us reach and engage the 30,000+ alumni in our database! If you are interested in hosting or attending an Eagles, Let’s Talk event, please contact our office at 919-530-6363 or via email at alumni@nccu.edu.
Forty Under Forty Alumni Awards Program
The North Carolina Central University Forty Under Forty Alumni Awards Program recognizes young alumni who have made a lasting impact in their communities and the world. The Office of Alumni Relations developed the program to engage, re-engage, educate, honor, and develop the next generation of advocates, donors, and ambassadors for NCCU.
Graduates under the age of 40 are selected by a committee of their peers, with support and assistance from the University. Selected honorees are recognized for their significant contributions in the arts, entertainment, healthcare, sciences, education, law, business, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, public service, and government. Congratulations to the 2020 Forty Under Forty class. To learn more about the honorees, click below:
