U.S. Air Force Partnership |

N.C.
A&T entered into an educational partnership
agreement (EPA) with the United States Air
Force Research Laboratory Materials and
Manufacturing Directorate (AFRL/ML) to engage
in research of mutual interest. The Aug.
19 partnership was signed by Dr. Charles
Browning, Director of the Materials Directorate
and A&T Chancellor James C. Renick.
Although the two entities have worked together
over decades, the partnership will allow
collaboration among air force personnel
and A&T faculty.
Said Dr. Vice
Chancellor for Research and Economic Development
N. Radhakrishnan, said: “This joint
venture is an excellent opportunity for
A&T’s researchers to form more
significant partnerships. Several of our
faculty members are already involved in
research activity with the Air Force. This
agreement provides even more incentive for
collaboration.”

We are now recruiting students
for participation in the Ronald E. McNair
Post-Baccalaureate Achievement Program. The
Program is funded by the U.S. Department of
Education to prepare and encourage academically
talented students who are under-represented
in graduate education to consider careers
in college teaching and to prepare them for
graduate study that leads to a doctorate degree.
Named for the North Carolina A&T State
University magna cum laude graduate Ronald
E. McNair, the program at NC A&T was funded
in 1990 as a multi-disciplinary comprehensive
academic support program consisting of an
Academic Year Component and a Summer Research
Component.
To ensure continued academic
success, McNair scholars participate in four
program components:
Skill Building Seminars
A Research Methodology Course
A Summer Research Institute
Graduate School Preparation
Please refer any academically
talented students to the program that you
feel would benefit from this experience. All
students referred must be currently classified
as sophomores or above to be considered.
For more information, please
