Fall 2021 Commencement
REGAN CHALLENGES N.C. A&T GRADUATES TO ‘STAND UP AND BE COUNTED’ AS CHANGE AGENTS
EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Dec. 11, 2021) – The nation’s top environmental protection official challenged more than 1,300 North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University graduates and their family members Saturday to find pursuits that fuel their passion and fight for what they believe in – a practice that not only can make them relevant, but “powerful beyond measure.”
Speaking to the fall 2021 graduates of the nation’s largest historically Black college or university (HBCU), Michael S. Regan ‘98 drew parallels between the opportunities graduates have to become change agents today and the opportunities North Carolina A&T students took advantage of during the Civil Rights Movement, changing the nation in the process.
