North Carolina A and T: An untapped jewel

Recently, friends at UNC Charlotte referred me to Doug Speight, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Outreach and Economic Development at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University. Doug has done a terrific job of building the university's research and tech transfer program over the past few years, and says he's only started. Recently I had the pleasure of visiting with Doug and his colleague, Wayne Szafranski, in Greensboro, NC.

I'm impressed. North Carolina A&T State University is a land grant, high research activity institution. The University has the third most sponsored research of any university in the UNC system behind only UNC Chapel Hill and NC State. The have a well organized group of research clusters.
