North Carolina A&T Head Coach Sam Washington Opening Statement: "Good afternoon everyone, this is a big week for us. Homecoming. Last week's ball game, it was tough. It was a very tough loss. It was one of those games that I thought was on a seesaw early. We did some things better, and we did some things not so well, and that inconsistency is one of the concerns that we're having right now.

If you plan to attend any North Carolina A&T football games at Truist Stadium, please take a moment to learn what you MUST provide to be able to enter the stadium on game day. All attendees must provide either proof of vaccination against COVID-19 OR results of a negative COVID-19 PCR test from the previous 72 hours.

Ideas for Giving and Moving Forward in 2021

North Carolina A&T continues to move forward with its important work. In the midst of all that is going on, many of our friends and supporters are looking forward to the future when they can enjoy community with friends and resume their regular activities. In response to the current situation, Congress extended some of the COVID relief tax changes to 2021. Our organization has created this brochure to offer resources to help you with your tax planning and to offer some ideas for you to consider if you are thinking about making a gift in support of our mission in 2021.
