It’s not surprising that North Carolina’s highly diversified economy has made it one of the more attractive Sunbelt states for newcomers seeking jobs and social tranquility. State leaders have predicted that population growth is expected to add 80,000 students to the 200,000-student University of North Carolina system by 2017. In “Meeting New Challenges,” senior writer Ronald Roach learns fromBlack college presidents how anticipated enrollment growth is shaping their priorities as leaders.

Also in this edition, we visit Dr. James Anderson, the former vice provost for undergraduate affairs at North Carolina Central University who returned to the state to lead and raise the academic profile of Fayetteville State University. Check out our features on the hugely successful Research Triangle area, the University of North Carolina at Pembroke’s diverse history and future, North Carolina State University’s pioneer women’s basketball coach Kay Yow and much more. We hope you enjoy the collection of stories on North Carolina.As always,we welcome your feedback.
