Each year, N.C. Central University recognizes outstanding alumni who have accomplished big things in a short amount of time. Namely, before turning 40. The 40 Under 40 program is an Office of Alumni Relations-sponsored event that launched four years ago to honor alumni who have “made great strides in their respective fields,” all while under the age of 40, said 40 Under 40 Selection Committee Co-chair Angelique Stallings.
