According to Chairwoman Frankie Perry, “The members of the Board of Directors of the NCCU Foundation recognize that private funds have become more essential now more than ever to nurture the excellence that characterizes this university. We welcome the exceptional talent of Dr. Jacobs and Attorney Meachum.”
