We will now cover the final large public HBCU, North Carolina Central University (NCCU). The second largest HBCU in North Carolina behind North Carolina A&T, NCCU was one of the last HBCUs established in North Carolina. It was founded by the iconic James E. Shepard, a minister and pharmacist who was the son of former slaves. His parents had been active in local Black education and the Freedman's Bureau. After serving as the Black liaison for the International Sunday School Association, Shepard desired to found an educational institute for Blacks in North Carolina and founded the National Religious Training School and Chautauqua for the Colored Race. He would serve as its leader from 1910 until 1947. A frequent guest and friend of the school was Benjamin E. Mays who stopped by annually and traded ideas with Shepard after he became president of Morehouse in 1940. Ironically, Woodrow Wilson contributed some to the school in 1909 before he became president.

NCCU changed names many times and became a state school in 1925 and became part of the University of North Carolina system in 1972. It has several unique programs not offered at many HBCUs including library science and a geography and weather science program.

Above the fray.
NC Central University in mid-February had received more than 20,000 applications this cycle from prospective first-year students, nearly 27% more than the previous year, communications and marketing director Quiana Shepard said

They got a big marketing and recruiting boost from beating JSU in such a high profile game. That's definitely part of it.
A local college out here was put on the map when they went to the Final Four and lost in the championship game. Applications skyrocketed.

*also trying to figure out which big real life event occurred when this profile went up. Surprised to see that there were no replies.
