North Carolina Central University NCCU has proudly earned the CEO Cancer Gold Standard™ certification, marking a significant achievement in the university’s commitment to workplace health and wellness. This honor, awarded by the CEO Roundtable on Cancer and facilitated by Danielle Blackwell, Associate Vice Chancellor of Institutional Advancement, demonstrates NCCU’s dedication to promoting a culture of health and cancer prevention across its community. The Gold Standard, established by former President George H.W. Bush, recognizes organizations that meet rigorous criteria for cancer risk reduction, early detection, and high-quality care.
For NCCU, this designation is more than just an accolade: it positions the university as a leader in health advocacy among Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). NCCU now joins a distinguished group of institutions that prioritize cancer-related health initiatives, showcasing its dedication to creating a healthier environment for students, faculty, and staff. This certification reinforces NCCU’s role in advancing wellness within various educational communities and highlights its proactive stance on employee health — an achievement that resonates throughout the NCCU family and beyond.
