Experience college in a brand-new way by rediscovering these North Carolina campuses that extend invites to all. Admire the dedication to education, commitment to beauty and enthusiasm for fun as you take a trip full of nostalgia.

Colleges you'll find in this article: Davidson College | Duke University | Elon University  |  North Carolina A&T NC Central University |  NC State University  | Shaw University |  UNC Chapel Hill UNC Charlotte  | UNC Greensboro |  Wake Forest University | Winston-Salem State University  

1 Davidson College

This small liberal arts school’s buildings are woven throughout town, offering numerous opportunities for inspiration. As a National Arboretum , the setting is perfect for paths that showcase more than 3,000 trees and shrubs. Along with Mother Nature’s works of art, sculptures by artists Magdalena Abakanowicz, Auguste Rodin and Yinka Shonibare are also admired all across campus. Three galleries with a full schedule of exhibitions can be found at the Visual Arts Center. Just up the road is The Farm at Davidson , which grows produce for the college’s dining services. To caffeinate like you're preparing for an all-nighter, swing by the original Summit Coffee on Main Street; the co-owners are Davidson alumni.

2 Duke University

Any visitor to Durham can find inspiration in the unique activities found on Duke’s campus. The Sarah P. Duke Gardens draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year thanks to 55 acres of Italian-style terrace gardens, a rose garden and a koi pond topped with water lilies. For a one-of-a-kind stop, book a tour at the Duke Lemur Center , a world leader in the study, care and protection of the endangered mammals. And for sports lovers, the Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed Duke University Golf Club is recognized as one of the Southeast's best, while the Duke Basketball Museum brings the storied program to life on a daily basis.

3 Elon University

A designated botanical garden, Elon’s 656-acre campus is a nature lover’s haven. Follow the campus tree map to find 125 trees along a 1.25-mile walk through campus, visit the community garden and schedule a tour of the school’s 15-acre solar farm, part of the Environmental Center at Loy Farm . Then head downtown to The Oak House for a beverage and a bite and check out some local shops, or grab a pastry to go and picnic at the nearby Beth Schmidt Park , which has beautiful walking trails, a playground and garden. Treat yourself to a cup or cone at Smitty’s Homemade Ice Cream before calling it a day. Staying the night? The Inn at Elon is the choice: All profits from the inn are dedicated to funding student scholarships.

4 North Carolina A&T

NC A&T is the nation’s largest HBCU. The university played a central role in the Civil Rights Movement when four students led a sit-in at Woolworth’s lunch counter in Greensboro in 1960, and the location now operates as the International Civil Rights Center & Museum . After the museum tour, head to the Dudley Building on campus to see the A&T Four Monument, which honors the freshmen who led the sit-in. Visit in fall and catch a football game to see the famous Blue and Gold Marching Machine, whose high-energy performances have been getting fans on their feet for years.

5 North Carolina Central University

The NCCU campus is included in the National Register of Historic Places for good reason – it’s been a key piece of Durham history for more than 100 years. As you walk among the historic buildings throughout campus, be sure to check out a newer addition, the Centennial Chapel and Garden, built in 2010 to celebrate the university’s centennial. It’s a great place to pull out picnic supplies from Durham Co-op Market before exploring more of downtown. Start with West Parrish Street, often referred to as Black Wall Street because of its role as a hub for Black-owned businesses and economic growth in the early 1900s. Then visit the Museum of Durham History or any of the History Groves – groupings of native trees planted to honor those who shaped the community. Speaking of community, the ties are strong at the Hayti Heritage Center , which hosts events, programs and festivals.

6 North Carolina State University

NC State is the ideal mix of city and rural life. On the Centennial Campus, Lake Raleigh Woods is designated a “hallowed place,” meaning its past helps forge the future of research and education. The 96-acre forest welcomes researchers as well as bird-watchers and those looking for a peaceful stroll. Down the road from main campus is the JC Raulston Arboretum and butterfly garden, where the collection of plants has attracted about 60 species of butterflies and moths over the years. If you’re looking for a place to reunite with old friends from school, the Lonnie Poole Golf Course – the only collegiate course in the world designed by Arnold Palmer – is the perfect spot.

7 Shaw University

The first HBCU in the South and among the oldest in the nation, Shaw sits in the heart of the historic district downtown – and its ties to history remain strong, from the stunning memorial garden on campus to its multiple historic landmark buildings. Head to Estey Hall – built in 1874, it’s the oldest surviving Shaw building and the first structure built for the higher education of African American women. Because of Shaw’s central location, walk or drive from campus to many nearby favorites. Refuel Southern-style at Big Ed’s and then keep the fun going – kids of all ages love Pullen Park's amusement rides, paddle boats and swimming. Families can enjoy awesome time indoors at the nearby Marbles Kids Museum or NC Museum of Natural Sciences . If your kids are of the four-legged variety, Dorothea Dix Park has an area just for dogs (and plenty of open-air activities for humans too).

8 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Visit the country’s first public university for a few firsts of your own. For basketball fans, Carolina Basketball Museum is a must, where names like Dean Smith and Michael Jordan might ring a bell. The Ackland Art Museum hosts a permanent collection of more than 19,000 works of art, while the Morehead Planetarium offers shows like “Carolina Skies,” a live star show that takes you on a journey through the nighttime sky. Most alumni will tell you a stroll along Franklin Street is a necessary intro to Chapel Hill life. For lunch, few things are better than a hot dog and old-fashioned soda at the legendary Sutton’s Drug Store . It’s been feeding hungry Tar Heels since 1923.

9 University of North Carolina at Charlotte

Just 15 minutes northeast of Uptown, UNC Charlotte boasts a 1,000-acre campus that’s still close to Charlotte’s vibrant NoDa, Plaza Midwood and South End neighborhoods. Start your visit with a walk through the botanical gardens , home to three different gardens with 16 collections. Over in the art department, check out three exhibition spaces in the Rowe Arts Building , which displays the work of students, faculty and visiting artists. For a good meal, students rave about Passage to India .

10 University of North Carolina at Greensboro

A stroll through this campus brings tons of visual intrigue, with architectural diversity, historic buildings and storied landmarks – like the 9-foot bronze statue of Minerva by artist James Barnhill, and The Rawk, a boulder painted and repainted with well wishes and announcements nearly every day. Speaking of art, make sure you head to Weatherspoon Art Museum in the heart of campus. Admission is free to its six galleries and sculpture courtyard, and coffee and baked goods are offered most weekdays. Find more inspiration at any of Greensboro’s outdoor oases, from the 17-acre Greensboro Arboretum to Gateway Gardens , a whimsical entryway to the city integrating elements of history, movement and play.

11 Wake Forest University

Recreate carefree college days at Davis Field by swinging under the towering trees or taking time for a picnic. For a learning opportunity, visit the only museum in North Carolina dedicated to the study of global cultures at the Museum of Anthropology . Catch up on a little botany 101 at the 134-acre Reynolda Gardens with beautiful woodlands, wetlands and a greenhouse. Don’t miss out on getting a unique souvenir at the Reynolda Village shops right next door. For your finale, enjoy a pitcher of beer at Shorty’s .

12 Winston-Salem State University

Wander through campus and admire public art sculptures, as well as massive murals by artist and North Carolina native John Biggers in the C.G. O’Kelly Library. The Diggs Gallery also operates as a cultural center with exhibitions and programs focused on African American and regional art (recognized by The Smithsonian as one of the nation’s best). If you’re looking for action: Every Saturday in spring and summer, Bowman Gray Stadium fills up the stands for short-track racing at NASCAR’S longest running weekly track. The whole family will love seeing multiple races at “The Madhouse.”

Vice President Harris visits North Carolina A&T University on college tour

by: Caroline Bowyer , Sarah Winkelmann

Posted: Sep 15, 2023 / 07:06 AM EDT

Updated: Sep 15, 2023 / 10:25 PM EDT

GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Vice President Kamala Harris is bringing her ‘Fight For Our Freedoms’ college tour to a Triad HBCU on Friday.

NC A&T is one of several HBCUs that the vice president will be visiting over the course of this tour, which is about mobilizing young people to fight for fundamental rights and freedoms. This is Harris’s first visit to A&T and her second stop on the tour.

She first visited Hampton University in Virginia. On Friday, she was in Greensboro, encouraging students to vote and use their voices.

“You must have freedom to live your best life. That means the freedom to make decisions based on having freedom to access the ballot when you want to vote, the freedom to make decisions about your own body, the freedom to love who you want to love, freedom from violence, freedom to opportunity and freedom to have access to opportunity,” Harris said. “All of that I want for you, and I am here to emphasize that you are going to be a part of making that real.”

She discussed gun safety, voting and reproductive rights, climate change and LGBTQ+ issues.

There was also a moderated discussion with EPA Administrator Michael Regan, himself an Aggie, and television host Terrence J.

The event was only open to students and started at 2:30 p.m.

When the mic was handed over to the students, the first question, was, ‘How do we reduce gun violence in the community?”

Harris responded by asking students in the room to raise their hand if they grew up doing drills at school for active shooters, and just about every student did. 

“I don’t think a lot of people understand what you just showed us and what your life experience has been,” Harris said.

The second question was about reproductive rights.

“You all will know fewer rights than your mother and grandmother,” Harris said. “One does not have to abandon their faith or deeply held beliefs to agree that the government should not be telling her what to do with her body.” 

Harris said fighting all these issues means getting to the polls and voting.

“When you vote, you have the ability to determine the future of our country in a way that might challenge a lot of people’s notions about what is possible and who could possibly do it,” Harris said.

Throughout the discussion, which was moderated by two NC A&T University graduates, a sticking point was recognizing the disparities.

She left the students in the room with the reminder that no matter where life takes them, they have her support.  

“When you walk in those rooms, we all walk in that room with you, cheering you on and expecting that you will carry the voice of all those who are not in that room but are counting on your leadership,” Harris said.

New chancellor announced for NC A&T. Here’s who will lead the country’s largest HBCU.

James Martin, an engineer with more than 30 years of experience in higher education, will be the 13th chancellor of North Carolina A&T State University — a job in which he will lead the country’s largest historically Black university.

Martin will join A&T from his current role as vice chancellor for STEM research and innovation at the University of Pittsburgh, where he was previously dean of the university’s engineering school. With a research background in risk engineering and earthquake science, he began his career as a professor at Virginia Tech before becoming an engineering department chair at Clemson University.

He will begin his new role Aug. 15.

The UNC System Board of Governors named Martin for the role in a special meeting Friday, approving system President Peter Hans’ nomination. The search process to find the university’s next leader began last fall, after Chancellor Harold Martin — the longest-serving current chancellor in the 17-campus UNC System — announced he would retire at the end of the academic year.

James Martin will take the helm from Harold Martin — no relation — at a time of consistent, record growth for A&T. The Greensboro university is one of the fastest-growing in the country , and for 10 consecutive years has been the nation’s largest HBCU by enrollment. Its enrollment in each of the past three academic years, including a total enrollment last fall of more than 13,800 students , has made it the largest-ever HBCU.

“I’m grateful to say that we are not here to mark the end of the Martin era, but a renewal,” Hans said Friday. “As we look ahead to this university’s continued growth and rising prospects, we have the honor of welcoming a leader with a sharp sense of how to build on the successes of the last 15 years.”

Under Harold Martin’s leadership, the university propelled its research portfolio and economic impacts, becoming “the nation’s top producer of African American graduates in engineering, liberal arts, agricultural science and journalism,” according to a university biography.

James Martin will likely lead the university into a new era as it aims to become an “R1” doctoral university — or one with very high research activity, according to the Carnegie Classification system. He said in a news release he was excited to lead a university that is “a recognized national leader in harnessing technology and access to learning to unlock human potential.”

“Our students, faculty, staff and alumni are on an incredible ascent, having accomplished so much in recent years,” he said. “I look forward to joining them on that journey and ensuring that we continue to build on A&T’s exceptional momentum as we set ambitious new sights for the months and years ahead.”

A graduate of the Citadel and Virginia Tech with degrees in civil engineering, James Martin did not attend an HBCU, nor has he worked at or led one. But Hans on Friday highlighted a slew of other qualities Martin holds, predicting that his past leadership experiences and research would serve him well in the role.

The new chancellor “recognizes all of those challenges” facing higher education today, Hans said, “and he isn’t deterred by any of them.”

“It’s reassuring, in fact, to be nominating someone with the confidence and expertise in the field of risk management, because chancellors don’t just lay the groundwork for success and achievement,” Hans said, “they also work hard to manage and mitigate the many challenges that come with running a small city.”

A UNC System news release did not disclose how many candidates applied for the A&T chancellorship, but stated that the national search “drew a highly competitive field.”

“It was gratifying to see a certain standard of quality in leadership throughout the field,” search committee chair Hilda Pinnix-Ragland, former chair of the A&T Board of Trustees, said in the release. “From the beginning, Dr. Martin emerged as a leading candidate in his background, preparation and the vision he articulated for A&T. He will be an outstanding leader for our university.”

Three chancellorships in the UNC System remain open following Thursday’s election of Martin. A search at UNC-Chapel Hill is ongoing , while searches at Appalachian State University and Elizabeth City State University are expected to begin in the coming months.
