Looking Ahead to Our Brave Future In the next 150 years, Dr. Nave envisions Alcorn as a leader amongst the nation’s elite HBCUs and is committed to developing, supporting, and sustaining programs that ensure the university’s success. “This is the year of the woman, so I am very excited about Dr. Nave’s appointment as president,” said Alexandra Johnson, a junior majoring in biology/pre-medicine. “She’s an Alcornite, so she understands the atmosphere of the university and what it needs to succeed. I believe that she will live up to high expectations.” The past year will forever be marked by worldwide, unprecedented events. But as a university family, we will mark this year as one of innovation and perseverance. As one Brave community, we have experienced lows and still persisted to answer the call for continued excellence in all areas of our shared life together.
