Governor Congratulates NCDOT HBCU Interns (5381 hits)


Governor Pat McCrory hosted students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities who served as interns this summer for various North Carolina Department of Transportation offices at the executive mansion today. Twenty students participated from six colleges and universities, representing 10 different fields of study and helping support more than 15 different offices and departments.



“It’s these kinds of programs that are helping fuel our economic recovery by providing our students with the skills they will need to solve problems of the future and instill the value of public service in the next generation of engineers, managers, aviation specialists, information technology experts and more,” said Governor McCrory. “I want to thank all of the interns, their academic advisers and parents for going the extra mile by participating in this summer program, and I’m proud of the partnership between NCDOT and Historically Black Colleges and Universities.”



Interns were from Elizabeth City State University, Shaw University, NC Central University, Bennett College, Winston-Salem State University and Saint Augustine’s University. Interns served in various NCDOT departments throughout the state, including the DMV, Governor’s Highway Safety Program, Aviation and Information Technology.



While thanking the students for their service to the state, the governor also highlighted accomplishments of North Carolina’s 11 HBCUs and several HBCU alumni who serve in the governor’s administration.
