Central State University 2019 Commencement
The Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II, a pastor, social justice advocate, author, former president of the North Carolina Chapter of the NAACP, and a 2018 MacArthur Fellow, will deliver the Central State University 2019 Commencement address.
The Baccalaureate and Commencement ceremonies are time-honored traditions where the University recognizes and celebrates those graduates whose pursuit of knowledge and academic excellence pushes them to complete all education requirements to become a candidate for a bachelor’s degree.
Approximately 200 diplomas will be awarded during the ceremony, which begins at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 4, at the Dayton Convention Center.
