Alumni, CAES

Community gathering at outdoor event in a park.

The Greatest Homecoming on Earth is approaching, and as always the CAES will host the greatest welcome-back-alumni cookout on Earth during its annual CAES Homecoming Celebration.

This year, the celebration is 1-3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 6, on the lawn of B.C. Webb Hall. In store are fun games; door prizes; great food by Abrams Inc. of Tarboro; entertainment by DJ Courtney Lawrence (Class of 2009); and, as always, the opportunity to reconnect with old friends, faculty and students. The CAES also will have a table for donations to the college and/or the department or program of your choice.

All campus faculty and staff are also encouraged to bring non-perishable food donations to support a CAES Food Pantry being established for students. Donation boxes will be onsite for each of the four academic departments.

Please pre-register online through your CAES alumni web page. Alumni can show up without reserving in advance — but those who do so online will be privileged with a first-class “boarding pass” for seating, and for the buffet line.

This year’s gathering revolves around the theme, “The CAES Difference.”

“We will share the many ways your College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences makes strides, steps up to challenges, and keeps pace with 21st century change, making a positive difference across North Carolina through relevant research, Cooperative Extension outreach, and academic programs that serve industry and society,” says Dr. Antoine Alston, associate dean for academic studies and chair of the CAES homecoming committee.

At first glance, North Carolina appears to be conducting a successful COVID-19 vaccination program: More than 41 percent of the state’s population has received at least one dose of vaccine, including almost 80 percent of people age 65 and older, according to the latest data from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS).

The Right Fit: Fashion Program Helps Students Dress for Success at Annual Event

February 20, 2025

The right shirt, the right shoes, the right tie or the right dress can make or break a first impression. That’s why students looking for good wardrobe fits — and good prices — came to JCPenny at Four Seasons Town Centre this month to take part in this year’s JCP Suit-Up, an annual collaboration between N.C. A&T’s fashion merchandising and design program and Office of Career Services.
