Stephanie Curry ‘83
My most vivid homecoming memories date back to elementary school onward into Dudley High School wherein my late dad would attend the homecoming games, which set the stage for me. I knew upon completion of high school that North Carolina A&T would be my only choice for higher education. That Aggie Pride was too loud…

Mya Reid ‘21
Aggie Pride runs in my family! As a second-generation Aggie, I grew up surrounded by the N.C. A&T legacy. Many of my relatives on my mom’s side earned mechanical engineering degrees from North Carolina A&T, and I came to campus to continue that tradition while creating a story of my own. As a physics major…

For some, the Greatest Homecoming on Earth is an opportunity to reconnect with college friends and relive unforgettable memories. For me, GHOE has always felt like an extension of my family reunion. It’s where generations of my family, lifelong friendships and a shared love for North Carolina A&T State University come together in the most beautiful way. Being an Aggie isn’t just something…

My sister Emanuella (Jones) McCall, Class of ‘78 and I, Jeanette (Jones) Simmons, Golden Aggie Class of ’76 – both Alpha Mu sorors and former members of the Blue and Gold Marching Machine – had a double wedding in December 1979 in North Carolina.

Latiera went on to run for…

Akiva’ Rooks ‘19
North Carolina A&T State University gave me so much more than a degree– sometimes I’m still in disbelief. As a Baltimore girl who became a first-generation college graduate, arriving at A&T was the beginning of a chapter that stretched me in ways I couldn’t have ever really fully understood at the time. I found community, opportunity, leadership, creativity and a sense of belonging that…

Candance Goins ‘99
Homecoming at North Carolina A&T means so much more to me than returning to campus. It is a celebration of the roots of our family and the legacy we have built as Aggies. I met my husband freshman year at A&T through a mutual friend, and although we didn’t begin dating exclusively until our junior…

Kimball Credle ‘85
It was fall 1984, while in Corbett Sport Center attending the coronation program, to my surprise this angelic voice started to sing. At that time, I was huge Deniece Williams fan and just becoming aware of the significance of Black pride. The song was “Black Butterfly,” and the person singing it was my dear friend…
