Students in the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and across campus came in droves to dance, ride horses, and unwind in 2024’s Spring Wellness Day. An optional event each semester where classes are suspended, Wellness Day offers students, faculty and staff an opportunity to unwind, reflect, and relax with various functions taking place at N.C. A&T. This semester, students packed Truist Stadium on April 8th for “Aggies Out West”, a Western-themed ranch presented by Aggie Wellness 365 that offered horseback riding, line dancing, giveaways, food trucks, live music and wellness vendors.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture has awarded a $1.2 million grant to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and seven 1890 consortium partners to help improve the recruitment, retention and graduation of diverse students in the food, agriculture, natural resources and human (FANH) sciences.
