Reader comments:

I regularly read and review publications coming from NCCU’s Office of Communications and Marketing. Being an active alumnus from NC A&T, NC State, and the University of Illinois, I’ve compared their publications to NCCU’s. Your printed communications are attractive and compare well with any other university’s publications. In particular, the stories in NOW magazine, as well as the graphics and photography, are great. — Melvin Carver, Ph.D. former chair, NCCU Department of Art
