Minor, 22, is a native of Alpharetta, Ga. She graduated from N.C. A&T with a double major, a B.S. degree in business administration with a concentration in international business and a B.A. degree in Romance Languages and Literature and French. While enrolled at the university, Minor studied abroad at the University of Nantes in Nantes France; and the University of Nancy and the ICN School of Management in Nancy, France.

“When I arrived at North Carolina A&T State University, my dream was to leave the institution with a diploma in management and French while having the highest grade point average at the university,” Minor said. “This celebration of success is not just the result of my personal efforts but also that of God and of my loved ones.”
