It serves as a hub of academic activity and student engagement at North Carolina A&T State University.

The installation of a university chancellor is a celebration not only of the institution, but of the entire academic community. At North Carolina A&T State University, we look forward to marking this historic moment as a milestone in a legacy rich with innovation, impact and excellence. 

As we prepare to formally install Dr. James R. Martin II as the 13th Chancellor of N.C. A&T, we are honored to welcome both university faculty and visiting delegates who will represent their colleges, universities or academic organizations during this special occasion.
