FROM THE PRESIDENT

UNI V ERS ITY 1865

It is my great privilege to present you with the Shaw University 2015 –16 president’s report. This document provides an overarching view of the university’s strategic vision in action, and a detailed perspective of our institutional prospects in the years to come.

During my first full academic year as president, we experienced several historic moments from cultural, academic and financial perspectives.

Celebrating our sesquicentennial anniversary, this report details our historic gains in enrollment, philanthropy, corporate partnerships, and alumni giving. Each of the aforementioned are vital elements of the University’s favorable financial positioning in assets, endowment support and capital project financing.

Our faculty and students made extraordinary contributions to the university’s profile, with distinguished research in the life sciences and technology. These achievements paralleled our continued commitment to building a campus culture of entrepreneurialism, culminating with the recent grand opening of our Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, and our CAPE partnership with the startup incubator corporation, American Underground.

These efforts were underscored by our campus becoming a regular destination for social and industrial luminaries. Over the past year, we welcomed former U.S. President Bill Clinton and his daughter, Chelsea, to discuss development opportunities for the campus, and to advocate for political participation among our students. We held one of the university’s most successful Homecoming weekends, including record-breaking funds raised at our 150th Anniversary Gala featuring renowned entrepreneur, Stedman Graham, as our keynote speaker.

These are just a few of the stories that constitute our EPIC approach to campus development and community outreach. We are honored to be the focus of your support and interest, and we look forward to receiving your allegiance as we move toward our ultimate goal of becoming Raleigh’s premier resource for education, economic development, and unique partnerships.

Thank you for your outstanding advocacy and engagement.

With Shaw U pride,

President Dubroy's

First Year

A Shaw graduate, she is the youngest female president to lead Shaw University.

Within her first 100 days, she streamlined operations, made Shaw one of the first HBCUs to become a smoke-free campus and increased outreach to downtown Raleigh businesses and neighborhoods.

She was the first recipient of the Spirit of Excellence in Higher Education award presented by Movement of Youth, and she was named to Triangle Business Journal’s “40 Under 40” list.

Under her leadership, Shaw has increased enrollment, achieved record fundraising, strengthened alumni engagement and built new corporate partnerships.

Dr. Dubroy introduced her EPIC approach to leadership, focused on Excellence and Entrepreneurship, Positioning and Presence, Innovation and Customer Care. These four areas represent opportunities for the university community to pursue excellence and position the institution for longterm growth and success.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR

Shaw Celebrates 150 Years at Homecoming Shaw University welcomed its sons and daughters home for an EPIC homecoming celebration October 31 through November 8, 2015. Hundreds of alumni, students, family members and friends joined in the festivities to celebrate 150 years of glorious Shaw U. The full week of activities included an opening worship service, the coronation of Miss Shaw University, the Athletics Hall of Fame banquet, the record-setting 150th Anniversary Gala and the exciting gridiron brawl between the Shaw University Bears and the Saint Augustine’s University Falcons.

The litany of events and activities brought back fond memories for returning alumni and created new ones that will last a lifetime.

6 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015 – 2016

Chelsea Clinton Visits Campus, Speaks on Critical Issues Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, visited the Shaw University campus and hosted a roundtable with students, faculty, staff and alumni. During her visit, she discussed her mother’s 2016 presidential campaign, the election and critical topics such as student loan debt, the Affordable Care Act, reducing gun violence and choosing Supreme Court justices.

“As a millennial active in politics, it was only fitting that Chelsea Clinton came to address Shaw students who are continuing our historic legacy

of activism and making their voices heard,” said Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president. “We appreciated her willingness to reinforce the importance of voting and provide meaningful answers to issues that impact our community.”

Clinton currently serves as the vice chair for the Clinton Foundation and was a special correspondent for NBC News. A graduate of both Stanford and Columbia universities, she is an advocate for women’s rights, AIDS research and global humanitarianism.

Mayors’ MASKED Ball Celebrates Educational Opportunity Shaw University students and friends were honored by the United Negro College Fund at the organization’s inaugural Mayors’ MASKED Ball hosted in Raleigh. Nancy McFarlane, mayor of Raleigh, William “Bill” Bell, mayor of Durham, and Dr. Michael Lomax, UNCF president and CEO, joined Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president, and Dr. Everett Ward, Saint Augustine’s University president, for the night of celebration.

As a part of the masquerade themed gala, the UNCF gave the MASKED Award, which stands for Mankind Assisting Students Kindle Educational Dreams, to two individuals who have made outstanding contributions through leadership, support and service to the greater community.

Dr. Talbert Shaw, Shaw University’s 12th president, and Ann and Jim Goodnight of SAS Institute Inc. were this year’s recipients.

The MASKED Ball also spotlighted the talented and gifted students who receive scholarships awarded annually by the UNCF. WWW.SHAWU.EDU

Jones graduated from NCCU with a bachelor’s degree in recreational therapy in 2001. As a student-athlete, he spent four standout seasons (1994-97) as an Eagles cornerback. He earned First Team All-Conference and Second Team All-Region honors twice and remains among the school’s career leader in passes defended (41) and interceptions (10). He went on to play arena football with the Carolina Cobras, the Augusta Stallions and the Greensboro Prowlers.

He also served as defensive coordinator with the South Georgia Wildcats of the AFL2, leading his squad to the No. 1-ranked red-zone defense in the league.

Stellar Student Government Association Officers Elected The Shaw University student body began the year with a dynamic slate of newly elected student representatives. These ambassadors included SGA president Justice Lang; external vice president Tyshawn White; Dawii Marshall, internal vice president; Hisaun Yates, special assistant to the internal vice president; Briona May, executive parliamentarian; Alexis Lundy, business manager; Ryan Wright, head of public relations; and Acacia Cadogan, administrative assistant. Students also elected senior business administration major Bethany Grace King as Miss Shaw University.

Throughout the year, members of the Student Government Association represented Shaw University as goodwill ambassadors and served as decorated advocates of the institution. From marching to the North Carolina state capital on Legislative Day, to representing the university at community and business events, these student leaders committed to working for excellence and carrying forth a vision to elevate Shaw as a top producer of graduates ready to compete in a global arena.

Commencement 2016: Graduates Hold a Special Place in Shaw’s History Shaw University added 235 alumni at the 2016 commencement ceremony. The Class of 2016 earned degrees across disciplines, including the top five programs of business management, social work, mass communications, sociology and Master of Divinity. Graduates hailed from North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., New Jersey as well as international locations such as the Bahamas, Nigeria and Colombia.

Senior Class President Troy Thomas also addressed the graduates. He compared the graduation transition to moving from checkers to chess, assuring them that each move they make from now on is a power move.

Presiding over her first commencement, Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president, encouraged graduates to call on their curiosity to be “constantly refreshed by new knowledge,� and implored them to stay close to God, break barriers and reform ideologies.

Keynote speaker Fred Whitfield, president, COO and minority owner of Hornets Sports and Entertainment, urged the graduates to take risks, strive for excellence, embrace adversity and give back. He also reminded them to thank family, friends, teachers, mentors, ministers and fellow grads for building a village of unwavering support for them. Before he addressed the graduating class, officials conferred Whitfield with an honorary doctorate.

150th

Anniversary Gala

A Record $630K Raised for Student Scholarships and Programs Shaw University set records on November 6, 2015, as alumni and supporters gathered to raise more than $630,000 at the 150th Anniversary Gala. Surpassing the original fundraising goal of $500,000, this was the largest amount raised at a single event in school history.

The record-setting donations are supporting student scholarships and campus initiatives. More than 98 percent of Shaw students receive financial aid and 36 percent are firstgeneration college students, making the gala’s success instrumental in Shaw’s support of students.

The sold-out, black-tie affair, presented by Cherokee Investments, brought together 600 guests at the Raleigh Marriott City Center in downtown Raleigh, making it Shaw’s largest fundraising event to date.

One of the event’s highlights was the “Fund-A-Need” auction that

raised an additional $28,000 and was matched dollar for dollar. The National Alumni Association of Shaw University presented $80,000, its largest donation in the organization’s history. A host of university alumni chapters, alumni classes and other community organizations presented their donations as well.

Renowned author and businessman Stedman Graham provided a stirring keynote on the keys to leadership and success followed by a musical conclusion from premier saxophonist Marcus Anderson.

“The tremendous support of our gala represented the belief of the community in Shaw University and our vision,” said Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw University president. “We thank every donor, supporter, investor and contributor for making this evening an outstanding success.”

PARTNERSHIP HIGHLIGHT

CAPE Durham Moves to Entrepreneurial Hub at

AMERICAN UNDERGROUND

New Location Brings Opportunities for Adult Students to Network, Engage in Research with Start-up Companies Students at Shaw University’s adult degree program site in Durham now have access to some of the region’s hottest business start-ups. In 2016, the Center for Alternative Programs in Education (CAPE), which has eight sites throughout North Carolina, joined the American Underground campus in the American Tobacco Historic District.

This new partnership with the Google for Entrepreneurs North America Tech Hub at American Underground is one of the ways Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president, has delivered on her promise to make the university a premier 21st century institution.

“This partnership with American Underground is an exciting one,” said Dubroy. “It’s the perfect example of the kind of innovative, integrated strategic partnership that will position Shaw University among top ranked higher education providers today and in the future.”

By relocating the Durham CAPE site to American Underground, students gain the unique opportunity to network with business and technology executives and engage in research. The new location also emphasizes Shaw’s role in regional economic growth, specifically in the areas of technology and entrepreneurship.

The American Underground, which opened with five organizations in 2010 and has since grown to a robust 250 companies, helped spark the

Two of its members have won the national Google for Entrepreneurs Demo Day competition in Silicon Valley. USA Today has noted American Underground’s mission to become a leader in diversity and inclusiveness.

“The Triangle’s entrepreneurial ecosystem has made remarkable strides in the last few years, and continued momentum depends on a steady supply of talent,” said Adam Klein, American Underground chief strategist. “Our partnership with Shaw University will bring into play a whole new group of potential founders, specialists and executives.”

Since 1994, Shaw’s CAPE sites have given more than 4,000 adult learners access to quality education and prepared them for the demands of the 21st century workforce. Located in Durham, Ahoskie, Fayetteville, High Point,

The move to American Underground raises the university’s presence within the business community while also bolstering CAPE’s sustainability as the needs of students and the workforce change in years to come.

The new Durham location provides students with a vibrant, contemporary learning environment with exposure to job opportunities post-graduation.

It also gives the companies at American Underground access to a pool of diverse, well-qualified candidates for hire.

“This is a win-win partnership for both Shaw University and American Underground,” said Dr. Paulette Dillard, vice president of academic affairs at Shaw. “This important collaboration serves as a model for how business, technology and education can marry to create innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing issues.”

ALUMNI PROFILE

Celeste Beatty ’84 Brews Beer, Breaks Barriers It’s like making her grandmother’s homemade soup. That’s how Shaw University alumna Celeste Beatty ’84 describes the recipe for the craft beer she began brewing at home 17 years ago. She compares the water-and barley-based wort, the body of the beer, to a water-based soup broth waiting for lentils or tomatoes.

“There is a lot of similarity — putting those ingredients into the pot and adding signature flavors – and in the darkness of science and nature, they are converted to alcohol through fermentation,” said Beatty. “It’s a really exciting experience for anyone who likes cooking and loves being creative with things.

Craft beer offers a lot of creativity — more layers of flavor.”

The product of a “family of cooks,” Beatty has turned her passion for craft beer into a successful business. Embodying the entrepreneurial spirit of her alma mater, she founded Harlem Brewing Company in 2001. Today, her brews stand label-to-label with big-merchandise spirits sold at Walmart.

Beatty, who grows her own hops for Harlem Brewing Company, is also working on a cookbook of recipes borrowed from family files and her own. Think beerbattered fish, and sweet and savory sauces infused with beer or wine.

She says her international relations degree from Shaw and her interests in conflict mediation and crosscultural understanding have influenced the way she runs her company.

“Instead of bringing people to the mediation table, we bring them to the bar,” said Beatty. “As we’ve seen the business grow, we’ve also seen, interestingly enough, it can be a great unifier to have a conversation about

ALUMNI PROFILE

Shaw Alumna Willie Otey Kay Featured at N.C. Museum of History For nine months, the Jones Street entrance to the N.C. Museum of History in downtown Raleigh was reminiscent of a formalwear storefront. Just inside the museum’s glass windows, the handiwork of dressmaker Willie Otey Kay filled a showroom. An interactive exhibit, “Made Especially for You by Willie Kay,” showcased her creations and brought to life the work and legacy of this renowned Shaw University Class of 1912 graduate.

There’s the 1948 Duchesse satin wedding dress with a 10-foot train, as well as the debutante and party gowns. There’s the red Episcopal vestments still worn by clergy at Kay’s home church, St. Ambrose Episcopal. A photograph from Tallahassee, Florida, shows a bride and her bridesmaids wearing dresses made

by Kay. There’s also the baptismal gown of Ralph Campbell Jr., Kay’s grandson, who became North Carolina’s first African-American state auditor.

The exhibit tells the story of a woman from a family of prominent Raleigh activists in the ‘60s and ‘70s who was best described as “soft-spoken, gentle and refined.” Her sewing skills required no commercial patterns, only intuition.

Her ability to create “figure-flattering formalwear that reflected the times” transcended segregation as it was sought by black and white people alike.

16 PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015 – 2016

Known for sewing “dreams into dresses,” Kay worked well into her 90s until she died in 1992 at age 98. Her business spanned over six decades and reached the heights of a McCall’s magazine feature in 1935. One of her debutante gowns landed on the cover of Life magazine in 1951.

“She was creative, talented and passionate,” said Roselyn Egan, a Raleigh resident visiting the museum exhibit with husband, Gregory. “You would need those qualities to have kept it going as she did; amazing.

Really amazing.”

The oldest of five children of Josephine and Henry Otey, a barbershop owner, Kay grew up on Cabarrus Street in Raleigh, where her mother and grandmother, both accomplished seamstresses, taught her and her sisters how to sew.

DONOR PROFILES

IBM Impact Grant Supports Strategic Planning In 2016, Shaw University became the first historically black college or university in the nation to receive an IBM Impact Grant. Aimed at positioning the university for EPIC growth, the $56,000 in-kind grant is being used for strategic planning to support teaching, research, service and financial growth.

IBM consultants have been working with Shaw administrators to develop a long-term strategic plan with prioritized initiatives that will help the university achieve its mission and vision.

“With a changing academic landscape, it’s imperative that we have a strong strategic plan that will address the needs of our global environment,” said Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president. “These funds will be used to create a new strategic plan and identify the strategic priorities and goals that we believe will help drive improvements in academics, financial stability and infrastructure. Thank you to IBM for supporting our EPIC vision.”

After becoming the university’s president in August 2015, Dubroy launched an EPIC leadership initiative focused on four areas: entrepreneurial thinking and excellence, presence, innovation and customer care. Through these areas, the university is enhancing policy, promoting fundraising and resource development, and marketing Shaw University as a leading producer of globally competitive citizens. Dubroy’s strategic vision is fueled by optimizing technology, cultivating business and community partnerships, and making data driven business decisions, all in an effort to create a superior learning experience for Shaw students.

IBM Impact Grants reflect the company’s bold approach to community affairs, which includes innovative initiatives aimed at enhancing education. Shaw’s strategic planning grant is one of several Impact Grants earmarked to support educational and not-for-profit organizations.

Z. Smith Reynolds Grant Boosts CAPE Campuses Funding from the Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation is helping Shaw University analyze how it can provide better, wider-reaching learning opportunities for all citizens of North Carolina.

Shaw received a $35,000 grant from the foundation to evaluate and assess the current academic programming at its Centers for Alternative Programs in Education sites in Fayetteville, Rocky Mount, Greenville and Ahoskie. The resulting restructuring of these four CAPE sites will lead to more robust offerings in technology and health care, as well as tailored enrichment and training activities. It also opens doors for the centers to become community resources for job training and skill development through business partnerships.

The university anticipates that the momentum created by the enhancements to the program will lead to expanded enrollment, which will contribute to long-term sustainability.

Shaw has eight CAPE sites for adult education located across the state. The program provides flexible degree and certificate programs to adult learners where they live and work.

The CAPE sites have been well received by their local communities. As Shaw University makes educational opportunities more accessible through the program, it is also helping to address larger issues of educational equity and social exclusion. CAPE plays a pivotal role in meeting local and regional workforce development needs, ultimately leading to a stronger, thriving economy throughout the state’s urban centers and rural areas.

Gertrude and Julius Cromwell ’58 Establish Scholarship Endowment An alumni couple known for their longtime support of the university has established the Gertrude G. and Julius H. Cromwell Endowed Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarship support for male students who are residents of Raleigh.

Through their gift, the Cromwells are helping ensure that more young men have access to a college degree. They also have joined the esteemed group of donors who are building a legacy of positive impact through the Crystal Bear Society, which was created to recognize individuals who establish and fulfill an endowment at Shaw University for $25,000 or more.

Julius and Gertrude Cromwell met at Shaw in 1954 and graduated together in the class of 1958. Julius lettered in football and track, and was co-captain of the football team his junior and senior years. During his senior year, he was also elected Basileus of Delta Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and Gertrude was selected as the campus Omega Queen.

General Baptist State Convention Donates $100,000 for Chapel Update Shaw University’s Thomas J. Boyd Chapel has a new look thanks to a $100,000 gift from the General Baptist State Convention.

Renovations made possible by the gift include updated lighting, restored wood beams, a new lobby, new glass doors and carpeting, fresh paint, upgraded restrooms, and a new drum set, sound system and keyboard/organ.

First dedicated in 1948, the chapel was last renovated in 1993 with funds donated by Dr. Thomas J. Boyd, a 1948 Shaw graduate for whom the chapel was subsequently named.

They were married February 11, 1959, just prior to Julius’ Army transfer to Munich, Germany, for an 18-month tour of duty. Upon his discharge from the Army in 1961, he and Gertrude settled in New York, first in Manhattan for two years, and then in Brooklyn for 43 years where they raised five children. They became active members of the New York alumni chapter and were founding members of the Brooklyn Shaw Club in 1977.

“The chapel renovations allow us to continue serving as an educational sanctuary for students, staff and community, where their religious and spiritual commitment can be enhanced and uplifted,” said Dr. Tashni-Ann Dubroy, Shaw president. “We are eternally grateful to the General Baptist State Convention for their unwavering and long-standing support.”

Julius has held several administrative positions in the field of health care, including foster care, mental health, hospital administration and nursing home administrator. Gertrude’s professional career included hospital dietary supervision, junior high and high school teacher, high school assistant principal and owner/ operator of two early childhood learning centers. They currently reside in Raleigh, where they moved following their retirement.

Two years after Shaw’s founding in 1865, the GBSC diligently raised funds to assist with the school’s operations. Since then, the GBSC has continued its philanthropic support of Shaw through scholarships and donations. Additionally, GBSC members have given of their time and talents, recruiting students to Shaw and its Divinity School and serving as speakers for a variety of university events.

Fidelity Investments. The Shaw graduate, who was part of the Honors College and earned a computer science degree, completed an internship with the company as a senior and is now working full-time through a training program to learn the intricacies of business operations and technical needs.

“I have a great job, and had I never gone to college, I’d be far from it,” Morgan said. “I am even looking forward to eventually migrating over to cybersecurity.”

Despite his solid 3.7 high school GPA, Morgan had planned to skip college and work as a mechanic. His family encouraged him to follow a different path — one that led to Shaw’s summer STEM program and science majors.

Shaw provided Morgan with the knowledge and skills required for today’s competitive job market as well as a faculty mentor to guide the way. Working with Dr. Lloyd Williams, then head of Shaw’s Department of Computer Science and Computer Information Systems, he developed a senior-year project in his software engineering class that caught the attention of the City of Raleigh.

His product, called City Noise, is a fully functional cloud-integrated noise measurement system that uses off-the-shelf technology and a wireless sensor network to collect and record data. The meter provides real data — the missing link in debates over noise between Raleigh’s business owners and downtown dwellers.

Morgan has gained recognition across the state and nation for his outstanding academic and research achievement, including invitations to speak about City Noise at Shaw’s fifth-annual Student Research Symposium, the Central Citizens Advisory Council of resident watchdogs, and at the 50th anniversary celebration of the National Acoustical Society of America. He was also a Top 5 finalist for HBCU Digest’s Male Student of the Year award.

FACULTY PROFILE

Professor’s Award-Winning Sensors Track the

Secret Lives of Bees Shaw University Assistant Professor of Biology Dr. Eric Butler is giving new meaning to the “secret lives of bees.” Using a micro-controller, a timer and a micro-SD card reader similar to those in digital cameras, Dr. Butler has created a sensor that monitors how bees behave and could have far-reaching effects on food production worldwide.

For his work, Butler received the Triangle Business Journal’s 2016 BDO Life Sciences Award for Outstanding Research by a University. Shaw, among 17 finalists recognized, was the only university recognized for advances in life sciences.

The research project is a partnership between Butler and Georgia professor Mark Schlueter, who is conducting research on native bees.

Shaw student Krystal La Flora is a project assistant.

The sensor allows bee keepers to determine what’s happening inside a beehive, as well as assess the well-being of — and threats to — its inhabitants in order to keep habitats suitable for their return each season.

While global concern centers on the waning population of honeybees, Butler’s research zeroes in on mining bee colonies found burrowed in underground tunnels. Although the mining bee is an often ignored bee species usually considered pests, the bees are excellent pollinators that also aerate soil, making them suitable stand-ins for the honeybee’s pollination chores.

Butler programmed the device to track how many bees are in the hive as well as a daily count of exits and returns, with information about time, temperature and other conditions at the time of movement. Any bees that don’t return are assumed dead, which leads to critical information about bee loss and opens the door to further research into what they did when they left and how that behavior or the environment impacted their inability to return home.

“Beehives are families,” Butler said. “So, if they are not coming back that

What we envision Shaw University and our community of scholars will transform the definition of “epic� in the higher education industry. Our historic campus will be recognized not only as a stellar institution of higher learning, but as ground zero for the social transformation of the City of Raleigh and beyond, creating an environment of excellence every day across our academic, athletic and social spaces.

This approach will lay a firm foundation to help our students reach their full potential as leaders in a highly competitive global society.

Shaw’s business is evolution, as we push our traditions in liberal arts and social advocacy into the 21st century with an eye for technology, entrepreneurship and sustainability framed within the idea of continued access for the underserved.

Through our development of strategies aimed at building a learning culture with state-of-the-art resources and professional achievements, and the application of fiscal conservatism, industrial creativity, and collaborations between corporate and community partners, Shaw University will revolutionize higher education.

SHAW U NI V ERS ITY 1865
