NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY SOARING INTO THE NEW MILLENNIUM

GLE

soaring...

This academic year serves as a milestone for North
Carolina Central University as we make our way into the new
millennium. The 2001 Freshman Class, one of the largest
classes at NCCU in several years, is lucky to arrive at the
dawn of a new era. New building construction, a shuttle
service, enhanced dining facilities, a visionary administration
increased student diversity have all brought a new energy
and spirit to NCCU. Chancellor James Ammons and his staff
have not only provided a warm welcoming, but have also
displayed their dedication to improving this great university
and listening to voices of the
student body. The world is
changing, growing, and
developing. Long gone are the
days when students receive
messages low— tech; now,
communication is conveyed through
email, text messaging, or cellular phones
Technology has taken the front seat in our
computerized society and at NCCU.
New computer labs with state- of the-art
computer technology have been installed
across campus. Donations for scholarships, and
other awards have been given allowing
NCCU to continue to excel.

From political issues, to campus social
life and leisure, whenever the students at NCCU strive for a
common goal, it is accomplished, and with honor. Eagle pride
is definitely prevalent as new students learn about the history
of their university upon arrival. Understanding the strength
of the Eagle is an essential part of any student's tenure at
NCCU. The kind attitude of faculty and staff has also added
to the overall feeling of pride in each and every Eagle.
Friendship, scholarship, excellence and a love for our great
university will last a lifetime as we exhibit EAGLE PRIDE!!!
New Leaders, new students, new standards.... Soaring into
the New Millennium.

The Eagle's Dedication

Alex Rivera

"One of the Greatest
Eagles of All"

NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY

ALEX RIVERA

Alex Rivera

"One

of the

Greatest

Eagles

of All."

Then with President Nixon.

This yearbook is dedicated to Mr. Alexander M. Rivera, Jr. who grew up in
Greensboro where his father practiced dentistry. Mr. Rivera was attending Howard
University in Washington, DC, when, in 1939 his father's friend, Dr. James E.
Shepard, offered him the opportunity to study at what was then called the North
Carolina College for Negroes. Mr. Rivera accepted the job and became the school's
first paid publicity agent.

Mr. Rivera, who had already begun a photojournalism career with the
Waaliiiigtoii Tribune came to Durham at Dr. Shepard's request. He became the founder
of the institution's News Bureau. As a student he was active in campus life and was
elected president of the Student Body during his senior year. Since 1939, even as an
enthusiastic unpaid volunteer, Alex Rivera has untiringly and avidly promoted his
Alma Mater.

Alex Rivera is an award-winning photojournalist whose professional career
was spent with the Norfolk Journal and Cuuie and the Pittsburgh Courier. He was a
black reporter, an obvious target for racist violence in communities where race hatred
had already been inflamed. As a Pittsburgh Courier photographer-reporter, he risked
his life in the 1950's to report investigations of lynchings and the trials that resulted
from such investigations.

Mr. Rivera covered several of the law suits that ultimately led to the "Brown
vs. Board of Education" decision by the Supreme Court in 1954, The ruling declared
that separate schools for black, white, and Native American students were inherent-
ly unequal. In 1955 Mr. Rivera received the Global Nezvs Syndicate's annual Journalism
Award for his coverage of the progress of public school desegregation following the
Brown v. Board decision. Among other journalistic achievements was his selection as
a member of the press team which accompanied then Vice-President Richard M.
Nixon on a tour of Africa.

Mr Rivera has always been deeply involved in sports. His first job with
North Carolina College included publicizing its athletic program under coaches
W.E.B. Burghardt and John B. McLendon. Rivera later served simultaneously as
Sports Information Director for both North Carolina Central and North Carolina
A&T. Mr. Rivera is a charter member of the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame and the
CIAA HAII of Fame. At the event which launched the NCCU Athletic Hall of Fame -
the-1980 Gathering of Eagles-Dr. Helen G. Edmonds Professor Emerita, said this of
Mr. Rivera: "In your prime, you have used the power of the pen and the camera and
the spoken word to keep this institution in the limelight throughtout this Nation. You
have been the well-spring of our hopes, the bearer of NCCU's message and an untir-
ing lover of your Alma Mater You are one of the greatest eagles of all."

The Eagle Yearbook advisor and student staff salute Mr. Alex Riveria
for being a true Eagle. Mr. Riveria is very deserving of this dedication. Mr Riveria
continues after retirement to donate time and
effort to North Carolina Central Univerity,
advising journalism students and supporting
numerous academic programs and University
activities. He is an ideal model of the Eagle
Spirit.

"It matters not
how much you

do, but how
well you do it/'

"Through the storms of life, my sole keeps singing,"
are words that characterize experiences the yearbook staff has
confronted during the last two years. Kritisha Jones and I co-
editors of the 2001-02 Eagle and the yearbook staff were
blessed to have Dr. Melvin Carver, Chairman of the
Department of Art as faculty advisor. Without his help the
2001-02 would not have been realized. With this team we
have overcome the disappointment of the past.

In the this millennium students are facing new
experiences and challenges. From the appointment of a new
chancellor to various current events such as tuition increase
and economic decline, acts of terror, and war, we have
survived.

During my matriculation at NCCU I have seen a lot of
change on campus. Students are taking advantage of new
technologies in communications, more resources in education
and increased access to travel. In this millennium, you can
stroll across campus and see every other student talking into a
portable mic interfaced with his or her cell phone as they are
walking along. These phones are so convenient; they fit into
your palm and are battery powered to last all day. I find it
hard to believe that just a few years ago, you were considered
"cool" to carry a pager.

Central's eciucational resourses such as computer
laboratories and library hook-ups have gotten better. You
know students regularly complained when they are not able
to complete a library assignment because the book wasn't
available. There 's no excuse now. with the library
connections between Central, N.C. State, Duke and UNC-
Chapel Hill, access to any book becomes available within 24
hours or less. Oh, I do remember when there were only two
public computer labs, presently there are many labs located
around campus.

I leave you with a self-cjuote, "It matters not how much
you do but how well you do it. Never do what you do
because you want the glory, do what makes you happv and
what makes your heart smile."
God Bless!

YEARBOOK'S CONTRIBUTORS

The 2001-02 academic year was my sophomore year
here at North Carolina Central University, and I knew that 1
wanted to do something different. I, found my haven in
working on the Eagle yearbook along with the fellow staff.
There was something different and special about this year,
something more inspiring and exciting. Eagles have soared
and continue to fly high into the new millennium. I wonder
what Dr. James Shepard would think if he looked out of his
window and saw over 5000 students walking over the
verdent green, and on top of that, just about all of them are
carrying cell phones, and 2 ways. Many students have lap
tops computers. He probably wouldn't believe his eyes.

We are Eagles with a plan and are ready for the
millennium. Don't come talking to us about beepers and
priorty mail, cause we are far past that point now. I
sometimes just sit, think and I am filled with pride, because I
am in a family environment with people who are about
business and receiving an education. Let's not forget our
professors; what wiz kid they've become. If you are a
student at NCCU and don't know how it is to take an online
quiz, then you must not have had any of my professors. The
students, classrooms, and the professors have soared with
eyes wide open and expectations high.

It has been 92 years since Dr. Shepard' s dream was
fulfilled, and I just wonder where future Eagles will be 92
years from this day. What I would give to look out my dorm
window and see into the future. Eagles soaring into the next
millennium as we have into ours. There is no pride on earth
like true Eagle Pride. Let's continue to promote our pride as
we soar over the heads of all those ground animals (Aggies,
Rams, Broncos, etc. ) who will never reach our depths and
our heights because all they can do is look up to us. Much
love Eagles!

Congratulations to fellow Eagles flying out, and to
those who will be with us next year. . . Holla Back. God
Bless; hope to see you next year.

Your Friend and Fellow Eagle

The True Solution:

"Each of us can develop his own

end that we may all understand and be
devoted to freedom, democracy and the
supremacy of human rights everywhere."

-February 16, 1946

James E. Shepard

"We must face the fact that today we are living on the
publicity of the past instead of the things we are
actually doing."

-November 15, 1934

"North Carolina has banked on this black man. If he
fails his state, let it be said of him that he fell beneath the
weight of his own demerits and not by the tyranny of a
stronger people."

"Men are not merely great for what they have become,
but also for what they may become."

-November 1939

"There is no economy in ignorance. Education
is a vastly expensive resource, but ignorance is incom-

nothing."

REFLECTIONS 2000-01

By Keosha Demise McKqy

Fans all over the world were stunned at the death of R&B/Hip-Hop artist, Aaliyah
on Saturday, August 25, 2001. Emotions stirred all over the country and beyond. She was
loved for her performance as both a songstress and actress.

Born Aaliyah Dana Houghton in Brooklyn, New York, she was the main artist on
Blackground Records started by her uncle Barry Hankerson. Along with Aaliyah, eight
others died when the twin engine Cessena 402 crashed minutes after its departure from
the Bahamas.

Aaliyah will truly be missed in the music industry, and as well as in the hearts of her
fans. Beyonce' Knowles. of the group Destiny's Child said, "She was our age and it's scary
because that could have been any one of us." The death of this young, gifted, lady opened
the eyes of many. Death has no limitations on age, sex, creed, or status.

On August 31, 2001, funeral services were held at Manhattan's St. Ignatius Loyola
Roman Catholic Church. An estimated 500 fans stood outside the private ceremony, while
family and friends waited to put their beautiful loved one to rest. Notables in the music
industry who attended the service were: Sean "Puffy" Combs. Mike Tyson. Delroy Lindo.
Kimberly "Lil Kim" Jones, Mya, Usher Raymond, and aunt Gladys Knight, among many
others. The body of Aaliyah was transported to the funeral in a glass-paneled horse-drawn
carriage. The funeral concluded with twenty-two doves released and flew above the
church. Aaliyah is survived by her parents and younger brother^est friend, Rashad
Haughton.

REFLECTIONS 2000-01

September 1 1 , 2001 is a date that will forever stand out in the hearts of Eagles and Americans. On
this day, our country, our lives, our hearts were invaded by terrorists. Attacks by these terroits made in New
York , Washington, D. C, and Penn were devastating. New York's World Trade Center towers as well as the
Pentagon near Washington were invaded with intent to kill and destroy. Beginning at 8:45 am EST that
morning, two explosions rocked the 1 10-story twin towers. American Airlines Flight 1 1 en route to Los
Angeles was believed to have been hijacked as it crashed into the South Tower. As the first building fumed
with smoke. United Airlines flight 175 headed to Los Angeles from Boston crashed into the North Tower at
approximately 9:03 am setting it on fire, too. After burning for nearly an hour, the South Tower Collapsed at
10:05 am, followed by the North Tower 30 minutes later. The impact brought down 200,000 tons of steel
and 43,600 windows. As the city of New York rushed to aid the effects of the unimaginable events, a third
plane crashed into the home of the Department of Defense at the Pentagon at 9:45 am, causing part of the
structure to collapse. This plane is believed to be American Airlines flight 77 en route to Los Angeles from
Washington Dulles airport. A fourth plane. United Flight 93, headed to San Francisco after departing from
Newark, N.J., crashed near Pittsburgh in Somerset, PA.. It was later confirmed by American and United
Airlines that the two planes were hijacked.

All over the country, major buildings and schools were evacuated. President George W. Bush, on a
trip to Florida, was quickly flown to an air force base in Nebraska after flying to Barksdale Air Force Base,
in Louisiana, initially. Before leaving Louisiana, he asked the nation for prayers and condemned the attacks
in a nationally televised speech announcing: "IVIake no mistake, the United States will hunt down and
punish those responsible for these cowardly acts."

According to the Boston Herald newspaper, five Arab men were identified as suspects in the attack
on New York City when their rental car containing Arabic-language flight training manuals were seized at
Logan International Airport in Massachussets. It was reported in the Boston Herald that two of the men
were brothers and one of the men was a trained pilot.

Classes were suspended at NCCU September 12, 2001 from 11:00 am until 12:00 noon. During
this time a memorial service was held in the McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium. Faculty and students
were overwhelmed with confusion and frustration regarding the attacks. Many gathered in classrooms to
watch news specials. Counseling services were set up for students and any others who may have needed
help. Students were in many different emotional states after the confusion, "You would never think this
would happen in America," says Altonia Moore, a sophomore. "You see it in movies and in other countries
all the time."

Though frustration and emotional insecurity continuously come to mind whenever the date 91 1 is
spoken of, it takes a country like the United States of America to come together with love and patriotism to
overcome such a disaster. Only LOVE, and PEACE can overcome such deep sorrow.

juniors /seniors. In addition a student must complete 112 hours
of community service per semester and /or a total of 224 hours
by the end of the school year.

Accomplishing all these requirements can be taxing even
for the most diligent. The Community Service Program was
created to help organizations and individuals in the community.
When a student feels forced to complete a hefty sum of service
hours, he or she may view it as a civic burden. The "Incentive
Edge" pays for the student's tuition, fees, room and board.
Through the Community Service Program, the student gives back
to the community while networking with local businesses. The
student who serves may also gain the needed experience that
others miss. Serving others may improve a student's reputation
with peers and professors. Anyone who finishes the Community
Service Program and graduates with honors, should have a hot
combination to put on resumes.

When accepting and embracing an Incentive Scholarship,
the student must work hard, learn to manage time, and achieve
goals.

Homecoming Football
Game, 2001

In the new millennium, the
NCCU Eagles defended their
home territory by crushing
the Livingstone College Blue
Bears 30-8 in the First Union
Homecoming Classic. For
the second year in a row the
NCCU Eagles have shown
their student body and fans
that they will not be defeated.

The morale and eagle spirit
was high as more than
10, 000 Eagles -- old and
young— from across the
country united at O'Kelly-
Riddick Stadium to cheer o,.
the football team. The NCCU
Homecoming Court was
presented at halftime; all the
queens looked glamorous
Halftime was a warm
welcome for the fans when
the NCCU Sound Machine
played all the lastest hits.

Andre D. Vann
Director of Greek Affairs

North Carolina Central University is proud of its strong
Greek tradition. We trace our roots back to the university's
founder the great James E. Shepard, who was a member of the Kappa Alpha Psi
Fratermity, Inc. While academics are the main reasons for you to attend NCCU, it is
hoped that you will acheive the best college experience possible through the
proper balancing of academics and social activities. Joining a fraternity or sorority
offers you one of the most extensive social outlets. Fraternity men and sorority
women pride themselves on their ability to help fellow brothers and sisters
develop socially and learn how to have fun in a safe environment.

We offer nine national fraternities and sororities for students, joining a
Greek-letter organization provides a "home away from home" during their college
years and an incredible network after graduation. Members of each organization
are heavily involved in campus and commnuity acttivities. Students has various
leadership roles inclusive of Ms. Stephanie Jackson, president of the Student
Government Association and member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Mr.
Kevin Jenkins, vice president of the Student Government Association, who is a
member of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc., Mr. Jermeir Stroud, president of
the NACCP, who is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Ms.
Paula Boozer, Miss NCCU 2001-2002 a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority,

On behalf of the members of the nine Pan-Hellenic Council that are active on
the campus, it is our sincere hope that prosperity follows you with greater
achievement in the very near future.

Jannita Kegler, art major, had planned for more
than eight years to see Mickey Mouse and visit the
Disney World Resort. She finally got the chance when
she applied for a co-op training program at Disney.

Kegler believes the Disney experience was the best
opportunity of her life. Jannita spent the fall 2001
semester working for Disney's MGM Studio in
production and took courses in leadership at Disney
University. Her days were also filled working in
Hollywood Hills at the famous Rock 'N' Roller coaster
ride and Hollywood Tower of Terror Hotel.

Jannita comments: "I took opportunities that most
people are afraid to take, meeting and experiencing
people from around the world. I have learned from this
experience that you have to be aggressive in the work
world, be focused on your work and positive about
yourself. From this time forward 1 am going to use my
abilities to the fullest, and hopefully I will receive a
second co-op at Disney World.

I got to

see Mickey!

Soaring in the new milieu of campus life, experiencing the Eagle
experience of learning and helping, NCCU students embraced Dr.
Shepard's vision of promoting truth and service in 2001-02. They met
his mission with creativity and innovation. Students at NCCU began
the year with tutoring and mentoring in five Eagle Village schools.
To demonstrate true stewardship, students volunteered their service
and learned more about health issues, civic responsiblity, diversity,
mentoring, and tutoring in Durham and at NCCU. The city and
university experienced an increased flow of dedicated students with
greater awareness of ties to town and gown. Students designed and
implemented community based projects in partnership with faculty

and staff. NCCU projects were assessed for
impact, implementation and learning outcomes.
Service learning projects included 30 Hours
Famine, Adopt-a-Highway, Blood Drive, Habitat
for Humanity, JDF Walk-a-thon, and the Mr.
Irresistible Contest. Discussion between town and
gown participants was used to bring closure and
structure to these efforts. Good relations and open
dialogue meant that many projects remained
active and functional for the community after the
students were gone.

Two seniors, Adrian White and Rowland Yearwood, during fall
2001 semester created a campus-only television series. "NC Sees
U" is a catchy title that speaks to the nature of the program that
captures student life on NC Central's campus. The program airs
for 30-minutes from 2 to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. The TV
series covers issues important to African-Americans. Each show is
formatted to include entertainment, a current campus event,
and a current educational interest.

The introduction for the broadcast is one of the most interesting
aspects of the show, It combines cartoons and music reminiscent
of a FUBU Fat Albert and Friends commercial. The action centers
around locations like the dorms, the yard, or the
Communications Building. The show is very funny at times. White
and Yearwood hope they will inspire other mass communication
students to create new shows for campus television.

Since 1982, when Brooklyn

M'^Millon retired, he has continued
gathering information on anything
eventful that has happened on this
campus. As a result, he has
compiled a wealth of information
and records that reveal the history
of North Carolina Central
University. For many years, Mr.

M*^Millon ran the Registrars Office.
He developed a love for
documenting noted events
involving Chancellors, Deans,
faculty, and students throughout the
years. He knows NCCU news from
the beginning. He gleaned the
information from local newspapers
articles and documented speeches.

He is willing to share his
information with anyone who has a
minute to listen. Or Mr. Mac, as he
is called on campus, will copy the
information for an individual. He
does not lend pictures or any of his
actual documents. Maybe one day,
someone will digitally record the
information for the future.

face to face or classroom component, but
includes web enhancements such as
Courselnfo for accessing class materials,
exams, homework, etc.

3. Internet-Courses: A completely online
program that can be accessed from

For our colors so gay!

Dear old N.C.C.'s Maroon and Gray:

As from the darkness light revives;

So let us hail, both night and day.

Our glorious colors, Maroon and Gray.

We'll ever love and honor thee.

For thou hast taught us loyalty

Then let our watchword, "Service" be

To Alma Mater, N.C.C.

You send us forth with hearts of love

So like a blessing from above.
