In 2024, Chancellor Karrie G. Dixon established the Impact Team, a dynamic group of campus leaders from various areas across North Carolina Central University. Guided by Dr. Gary Brown, Chief of Staff, this cross-functional team plays a pivotal role in advancing institutional efficiency, transparency, and collaboration.
Formed in response to feedback from the Chancellor’s Survey, first introduced during the August 2024 University Conference, the Impact Team was charged with closely examining input from faculty and staff to identify opportunities for improvement within university operations. Working in partnership with the Chancellor’s Cabinet, the team has conducted (and will continue to conduct) focus groups across campus to hear directly from employees about important issues raised in the survey. These listening sessions have helped shape actionable strategies that align with NCCU’s mission to deliver excellence in education, service, and community engagement.
The Impact Team leads several key initiatives designed to ensure sustained progress:
The Impact Team meets monthly to review progress and maintain alignment with strategic goals. Through these ongoing efforts, the team works to ensure that every voice at NCCU contributes to shaping a more effective, responsive, and united campus community.
