NCCU, through the Department of Political Science, will administer and manage the initiative in partnership with UNCFSP. The partnership will bring together four other minority-serving institutions, small businesses, nonprofit organizations and other stakeholders to seize overlooked opportunities, and to invent new approaches and create sustainable solutions with positive economic impact. Dr. Emmanuel O. Oritsejafor, interim chair of the Department of Political Science, will be the primary investigator on the project. SANDRA M.
