SOARING ON THE LEGACY
In 1910, Dr. James E. Shepard, a Durham pharmacist
and religious educator, opened the National Religious
Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race
and declared its purpose to be “the development in young
men and women of the character and sound academic
training requisite for real service to the nation.”
the establishment of the School of Education.
In 1993, Dr. Julius L. Chambers, a noted civil rights
attorney, became the first NCCU alumnus to lead
the university. He launched a major capital effort that led
to construction of a biomedical/biotechnology research
institute and a new School of Education building.
The institution struggled financially in its early years. In
1915, it was sold and reorganized, then becoming the
National Training School. In 1923, the state legislature
appropriated funds to buy the school, and renamed it
the Durham State Normal School. Two years later, the
legislature converted the institution into the North
Carolina College for Negroes, dedicating it to liberal
arts education and the preparation of teachers and
principals. The college thus became the nation’s first
state-supported liberal arts college for black students.
Dr. James H. Ammons became chancellor in June 2001,
eight months after state voters approved a major bond
issue for UNC system capital improvements. NCCU
was among the campuses targeted for growth, and
under Ammons’ leadership the university experienced a
surge in enrollment.
Dr. Charlie Nelms succeeded Ammons in 2007. During
his five-year tenure, he emphasized student success and
focused on improving retention and graduation rates.
Nelms presided over NCCU’s centennial celebration
during the 2009-10 year. Under his leadership, NCCU
was ranked as the nation’s No. 1 public historically
black university by U.S. News & World Report for two
consecutive years.
In 1939, the college offered its first graduate-level
courses in the arts and sciences. The School of Law
opened in 1940, followed in 1941 by the School of
Library Science. In 1947, the legislature changed the
name to North Carolina College at Durham. Shepard
served as president until his death in 1947. Dr. Alfonso
Elder was installed in 1948 as his successor.
Nelms retired in 2012, and was succeeded on an interim
basis by Charles L. Becton, a prominent attorney and
former judge on the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
He served until August 2013.
North Carolina College at Durham became North
Carolina Central University in 1969. On July 1, 1972,
all the state’s public four-year colleges and universities
were joined to become the Consolidated University
of North Carolina. As part of the transition, the chief
executive’s title changed from president to chancellor.
Dr. Albert N. Whiting presided over the transition,
leading the university from 1967 until 1983. He was
succeeded by Dr. LeRoy T. Walker, vice chancellor for
university relations and an internationally renowned
track and field coach. Dr. Tyronza R. Richmond
succeeded Walker in 1986; Richmond’s tenure saw

On Feb. 8, 2013, Dr. Debra Saunders-White was
selected as the 11th and first permanent female
chancellor of North Carolina Central University by
the University of North Carolina Board of Governors.
Chancellor Saunders-White assumed her new duties
on June 1, 2013. She was formally installed on April
4, 2014. Before her appointment as chancellor of
NCCU, Saunders-White served as assistant secretary
for the Office of Postsecondary Education at the U.S.
Department of Education.
THE FOUNDER
JAMES E. SHEPARD was born Nov. 3, 1875, in Raleigh, the son of
the Rev. Augustus and Mrs. Harriet Whitted Shepard. He received
undergraduate and professional training at Shaw University, from which
he graduated in 1894. The next year he married Annie Day Robinson, a
descendant of Thomas Day, a famed North Carolina furniture maker.
The Shepards had three daughters, Marjorie A. Shepard, Annie Day Shepard
Smith, and Marion Shepard, who died in infancy. The family legacy continues through the two daughters of Annie Day Shepard Smith, Annie Day
Smith Donaldson and Carolyn Marie Smith Green, their children, and Mrs.
Green’s grandchildren.
Soon after his graduation, Shepard opened a pharmacy business in Durham,
and he continued his education in theology and related studies. From 1905
to 1909, he traveled nationally and internationally as field superintendent for
the International Sunday School Association, whose goal was a standardized
Christian education curriculum across denominational lines.
By 1909, he had decided to start his school to train pastors and educate African-Americans, who were shut out of
most opportunities for higher education by Jim Crow laws. The first 130 students arrived in 1910 when the school
opened as the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. It was supported by the
philanthropy of Dr. Shepard’s numerous black and white friends in both the North and the South. The institution
struggled in its early years and suffered two devastating fires. Undeterred, Shepard would reconfigure the school and
press on. He was a constant presence on campus. He demanded decorum and stellar behavior of students and faculty.
From his home and from his office, he kept a close watch on the students’ comings and goings.
Shepard also played key roles in the founding of major financial institutions that serve African-Americans to this
day. He became a sought-after speaker nationally. He lent his influence at the state and federal levels to increasing
public aid to African-American education.
He died in his NCCU home on Oct. 6, 1947. The tiny enterprise had grown to a physical plant worth $2 million,
with state appropriations that year of an additional $2 million. At the time of his passing, African-Americans could
earn an array of degrees from then North Carolina College at Durham, including law and nursing.

GRADUATE & PROFESSIONAL SPEAKER
& HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT
John Ruffin, Ph.D., is the retired director of the National Institute on
Minority Health and Health Disparities for the National Institutes
of Health (NIH) and a leading advocate internationally in the field of
biomedical research into health disparities.
Ruffin served on the faculty of North Carolina Central University as a
professor in the biology department from 1977 to 1979, as chairman of the
Department of Biology from 1979 to 1986, and as dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences and special assistant to the chancellor for research from
1986 to 1990.
In 1990, he was named associate director for minority programs at NIH,
where he established the Office of Research on Minority Health.
Ruffin’s work at the NIH was foundational for the passage of the federal
Health Revitalization Act of 1993, which provides funds for minority
health research. His advocacy also contributed to the creation in 2000 of
the National Center on Minority Health and Health Disparities, which a
decade later became the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD).
Thanks to the Ruffin’s work at NIMHD, North Carolina Central University was deemed eligible to become a
Center of Excellence in Minority Health and thus a recipient of grants through the institute’s research endowment
program.
He serves as a member of the NIH Diversity Task Force; co-chair of the Federal Collaboration on Health Disparities
Research Committee; and as research coordination lead member for the Department of Health and Human Services
Health Disparities Strategic Plan Implementation Workgroup, among other appointments.
Before coming to NCCU, Ruffin was a Cabot Research Fellow at Harvard, associate professor of biology at Alabama
A&M University, assistant professor of biology at Atlanta University, and a biology instructor at Southern University
in Baton Rouge, La.

THE COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY
a perspective: North Carolina Central
University owes a substantial debt to its medieval
predecessors for its commencement ceremony
and academic attire. The Middle Ages gave birth
to the academic heritage that provided us with
a teaching institution, the university; a method
of measuring academic progress, degrees; and a
structure for an appropriate ceremony recognizing
student achievement, commencement. This One
Hundred Twenty-Third Commencement is being
held today for graduates who qualified for their
degrees with the completion of Spring semester,
2014. This colorful ceremony is the formal climax
and recognition of the graduates’ years of study and
preparation.
academic attire: All participants in the commencement ceremony, except members of the military
services, are attired in traditional cap and gown, patterned
after the attire of the monks and students in the Middle
Ages. Black is the traditional color for all academic
gowns. The bachelor’s gown has pointed sleeves; the
master’s gown has oblong sleeves with an arc at the
bottom; and the doctor’s gown has bell shaped sleeves.
The bachelor’s and master’s gowns are untrimmed. The
doctor’s gown is faced down the front with velvet and
has three velvet chevrons across the sleeves. The facing
and chevrons may be black or the distinctive color of
the field of study. The hoods recognized for each of the
degrees vary in size, shape and length, with the larger
and more elaborate designating the doctoral level.
14
The shell of the hood matches the black material of the
gown. The lining, which is folded out, bears the official
colors of the institution that conferred the degree,
maroon and gray for North Carolina Central University.
The color of the velvet border on the hood denotes the
field of study to which the degree pertains:
the procession: The University Marshal leads the
procession into McDougald–McLendon Gymnasium.
Following the Marshal are the faculty, the candidates
and members of the platform party. Platform guests
include members of the University of North Carolina
Board of Governors and the NCCU Board of
Trustees, the guest speaker, the Provost, Deans of the
colleges and schools and other members of the university
administration. The procession concludes with the
Chancellor. The University Marshal at the beginning
and the Chancellor at the end of the procession are
both attired in the distinctive maroon and gray gowns
symbolic of their offices.
