Paying It Forward Alumni BESSIE M. AND CORNELL SLADE share a love for North Carolina Central University that runs deeps and spans more than 40 years. The Slades, both members of the class of 1975, first met in high school in Edgecombe County, N.C., before attending NCCU. The couple has maintained strong connections to their alma mater while developing successful professional careers. Bessie Slade, who earned a degree in sociology, worked as a vocational counselor and later in clinical social work before turning her full attention to raising their two children. Cornell Slade applied his NCCU business degree as a risk management specialist before becoming president of The Best Egg Co. of Graettinger, Iowa, which supplies liquid eggs for many of McDonald’s breakfast items. At their 40th class reunion, the Slades established two endowments: the Bessie M. Slade Endowed 26

Scholarship and the Cornell Slade Endowed Scholarship, each valued at $30,000. Both of these annual, renewable scholarships are designated for Eagles who are first-year students from Edgecombe County with demonstrated financial need. “I truly believe in giving back, as our education at NCCU set forth the path that has allowed us to be successful,” said Bessie Slade. Cornell Slade said NCCU gave him the skill set to compete in a competitive global environment and reinforced an important lesson that he first learned from his father: “You have to work hard and reach back to help others.”
