Virginia State University was founded in 1882 as the Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institute, making it the fi rst fully state supported, four-year institution of higher learning for Blacks in America. Today, Virginia State University is one of Virginia’s two land-grant institutions.

Th e Quad – Phase I is the fi rst of two projects consisting of four, L-shaped residence halls that will eventually cover the area now occupied by Howard Hall. Th e Tom Joyner Foundation, a major driv-ing force in raising money for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) since 1998, named Virginia State University its School of the Month for May 2010 in honor of President Eddie N. Moore, Jr.’s retirement after 17 years at the helm of the University. To date, over $43,000 has been raised through this eff ort. Th e School of Engineering, Science and Tech-nology faculty were awarded over $3.37 million dollars in new grants and contracts beginning in Fall2010. Awards were received from highly com-petitive funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), National Aeronautics

Th e grants will be used for equipment/instrumen-tation, curriculum development, service learning, research and education. Th e U.S. Agency for International Develop-ment awarded Virginia State University a fi ve-year $524,970 research grant to develop an integrated weed management system in Africa to reduce the adverse impact of the pervasive weed, parthenium.

Th e goal of VSU’s HBCU Master’s Degree Program is to strengthen each graduate program and enhance the educa-tional opportunities of graduate students, particu-larly African American and low income students. Virginia State University’s School of Business has developed a new, integrated business curricu-lum that will focus heavily on technological par-ticipation and digital content. Th e initiative makes VSU the fi rst HBCU (Historically Black College and Universities) in the country to develop a system to deliver an integrated core curriculum to students and the fi rst university in the country to deliver the core curriculum in a predominantly digital format. Diana S.
