Greetings Fellow Alumni,

As we approach the last few weeks of 2015, many of us are busy preparing for another hectic holiday season. This is also the time of year when we pause to reflect on all that is truly important in our lives and look forward to the New Year with great expectations. We are reminded of the true meaning of the season as we plan to spend time with loved ones, exchange gifts, and make plans to give back with our end-of-year donations to various charities and institutions. I ask that you remember to include our alma mater and donate to the National Alumni Association and our National Alumni Scholarship as you designate your gifts.

There is a famous quote that captures the spirit of this holiday season: “It is good to be blessed. It is better to be a blessing.” – Unknown

I encourage you to be a blessing to our National Alumni Scholars who are an exceptional group of bright, intelligent and engaged young people in pursuit of their dreams. Your generous gifts will be an investment in their future.

On behalf of the North Carolina A&T State University National Alumni Association Board of Directors, I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and continued blessings in the New Year.

With Aggie Pride,
Pam McCorkle Buncum, Chair
National Alumni Association
Board of Directors
