Office of External Affairs


The Office of External Affairs aims to communicate the story of North Carolina A&T. This is to ensure that elected officials and other leaders fully understand the university's principles and its influence on Greensboro, North Carolina, and the United States. 
 

Occasionally, the Office of External Affairs, along with members of the Chancellor's Office, welcome elected officials who visit our campus to gain insight into A&T's research, academic achievements, and community involvement.
