Student Affairs will host its inaugural Student Success Symposium April 8-9.
The symposium will honor and showcase student successes with student presentations, guest speakers, panel discussions and workshops.
"This event will help NCCU students because they get to share and collaborate with other fellow students ... to talk about student success — a common subject for all NCCU students, regardless of classification," said sophomore class president Jasmine Williams, a member of the organizing committee.
Williams is putting together a panel of students from the University Honors Program to explain their idea of student success and how they achieved their own success.
"Four honor students will answer a series of questions talking about their experience in the Honors Program," she said.
The event is being organized by a diverse committee of students, faculty and administrators.
"Chancellor Nelms has set aside $100,000 for the purpose of implementing a new program or enhancing an existing program or service on campus which focuses on supporting and sustaining a culture of student success," said Frances Graham, associate vice chancellor of Student Affairs and the lead facilitator of the event.
The students involved are being selected because they have shown stellar student leadership by participating in student organizations, such as the SGA, fraternities and sororities, the student activities board, and the honors program.
According to Williams, the symposium is open to "any student of NCCU who can attest to student success."
The activities and events will be held at various campus locations and is open to anyone with an NCCU affiliation.
