Letter from the Chancellor
It is with great EAGLE PRIDE and boundless optimism that I introduce North Carolina Central University’s new strategic plan: Soaring to New Heights: Vision 2030.
This bold plan is more than a roadmap, it reflects our shared aspirations and unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and impact. Shaped by months of input from students, faculty, staff, alumni, industry leaders, and community partners, it embodies the collective vision and values of the NCCU family and the community we serve.
Rooted in our proud legacy and focused on our future, Vision 2030 positions NCCU to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Our mission remains unwavering: to prepare global leaders and practitioners who uplift and empower communities. Our vision is bold: to be a globally recognized catalyst for academic excellence, research innovation, and community impact.
Vision 2030 has five strategic pillars that guide our path to the future:
- Academic Excellence
- Student Experience
- Institutional Sustainability
- Operational Excellence
- Transformational Engagement
Each pillar is designed to strengthen our foundation and elevate our impact, ensuring that NCCU continues to serve as a beacon of opportunity and a model of success.
As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I invite each of you to see yourselves in this plan. Whether through your scholarship, service, leadership, or fundraising, you play a vital role in shaping the future of NCCU. Let us move forward with unity, determination, and a shared belief that our best days are still to come.
Thank you for your continued dedication to North Carolina Central University. Together, we are soaring to new heights.
In Truth and Service,
Dr. Karrie G. Dixon Chancellor
