nccu digital extras EAGLES VOTED! NCCU Eagles Were Active During The Election Season
NCCU was in the spotlight during the 2016 election season, when North Carolina was seen as one of the most important swing states in the nation. From voter registration drives organized by students to a surprise appearance by Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the campus was immersed in a whirlwind of activities surrounding the national and local elections. Among the many candidates who on campus this fall was Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine; recording artist Pharrell Williams also stopped by to greet students in the company of Clinton prior to the candidate’s large rally in Raleigh Nov. 3; and NCCU alumnus U.S. Rep. G.K. Butterfield attended a One Vote, One Voice event sponsored by the Gamma Beta chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc.; In late October, the Rev. William Barber, another alumnus, joined the Oct. 27 March to the Polls Rally organized by the Political Science Club.
