The highest compliment to be paid as a leader is not the accolade of being great, but for laying the foundation for organizational greatness. That’s James Renick’s legacy in the HBCU sector, who died yesterday at the age of 72. Renick is most highly regarded for his turn as chancellor of North Carolina A&T State University, where over a seven-year period he helped to jumpstart the institution’s growth in enrollment and profile, and research capacity.
Excellent tribute to a great leader
