GREENSBORO – It seems so simple – but it helps to hear it. Provost Beryl McEwen emphasizes in the accompanying clip that NC A&T State University’s focus is first and foremost on its students.

“Today, we still have as priority number one student success. Priority number two? Student success. And number three? Same thing,” says McEwen, a former dean of A&T’s College of Business and Economics.

“Our students come first, now and always.”
