The Winston-Salem Chapter proudly took part in every moment of the festivities, joining alumni, students, and friends from across the nation to honor our rich history, academic excellence, and the spirit that unites us all. From the vibrant Fan Fests held at the Koury Convention Center and War Memorial Stadium, to the legendary football game and the unforgettable Blue and Gold Marching Machine halftime show, the energy was unmatched.​

Our chapter members reconnected with fellow alumni, welcomed new Aggies into the family, and proudly represented the Winston-Salem community throughout the
weekend. We celebrated our university’s ongoing legacy, reflected on its impact, and shared in the joy that continues to make A&T a source of pride for so many generations.

We were honored to hold this meeting at Forsyth Seafood Market & Café, a local landmark with more than 40 years of service to the Winston-Salem community. Owner Virginia Hardesty, a proud Aggie, shared the story of her business—its humble beginnings, long-standing connection to the community, and continued growth through family leadership and hard work. Her commitment to quality service and local engagement embodies the same Aggie values we strive to uphold as a chapter.

NC A&T New Student Pinning Ceremony
Welcoming the Next Generation of Aggies

On August 24, 2025, North Carolina A&T State University hosted the annual New Student Induction Pinning Ceremony, a cherished Welcome Week tradition. All new students—first-year and transfer—were formally welcomed into the Aggie family during this milestone event, receiving their official pins from A&T alumni inside Corbett Sports Center. Dressed in their NSP polos and professional black bottoms, students proudly embraced this defining moment before marching to Truist Stadium for the official Class Photo.

Our Winston-Salem Chapter was honored to once again take part in this special tradition. Since the inaugural ceremony in 2023, our members have proudly joined alumni from across the country in pinning the entire freshmen class. This act symbolizes the start of their successful academic journey at NC A&T, and it reinforces the deep connection between past and future generations of Aggies.

The energy was unforgettable as the students marched through the stadium, surrounded by cheering alumni, family, and supporters. Keynote speakers shared powerful words of wisdom—messages that will stay with these students as they navigate their academic careers and beyond.

For our chapter, the Pinning Ceremony is more than an event—it is a commitment to uplifting students, honoring Aggie traditions, and investing in the leaders of tomorrow. We are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with the newest Aggies as they begin their journey in Aggieland.

"Aggies Got Your Back"
Backpack Giveaway 2025

The Winston-Salem Chapter of North Carolina A&T State University Alumni came together with community volunteers to support local students through our annual Backpack Drive. Together, we gathered and assembled backpacks filled with school supplies and delivered them to five schools across the county.

This initiative ensures that students can focus on learning without worrying about supplies, while also easing the burden on teachers and parents. By giving back, our chapter continues to serve those in need and strengthen the bond between alumni and the community.

This effort is about more than just school supplies — it’s about empowering our future leaders, supporting educators, and strengthening families. Every backpack we provide is a reminder to our students that they are valued, supported, and capable of achieving greatness. We are proud of the impact this event made and grateful to all who contributed their time, energy, and resources to make it possible.
