My 313th and final football game at NCCU. The gridiron memories are many and quite special to me, but the relationships that have been built along the way are what I cherish most. Eagle Pride… Always! 🦅🏈
On this date 25 years ago, I started working at NCCU. It has been an incredible journey. I have met so many amazing people & witnessed countless spectacular achievements. I am truly grateful to the NCCU community for your unwavering support.

WHAT A DAY!!!! My last football game at NCCU was definitely a day I will never forget! Witnessed record-breaking performances by Davius Richard and Adrian Olivo, and Coach Trei Oliver presented me with the game ball!
Many thanks to my NCCU Family! Eagle Pride Forever!

SO PROUD of my daughter Stella, 8th grade valedictorian; highest grades in math (100%), science (99%), English (99%) & social studies (98%); highest test scores in science (only 1 incorrect answer) & English-both scores rank 99 percentile in state. She takes after her mother.😄
Mike was a dear friend who loved NCCU & found joy being around our student-athletes, coaches & staff. He always found a way to make me laugh with his unique sense of humor. I am grateful he came into my life & we became friends. RIP Mike!🙏😞💔
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mike Wood, an

GIVING CREDIT where credit is due… the many kind & generous comments I have received are overwhelming & humbling, but has nothing to do with me. All of that praise is a result of the love, support & foundational values instilled in me by my parents, Marsha & Bill Serba. (cont.)

Just returned from my son’s orientation at UNCW. Such an amazing time to be a college student. The services & opportunities are incredible! Wish I could do it all over again. Excited for him.
CHECK THIS OUT! Great job, Chris! I love this story! Thank you for shining a light on the outstanding work done by

team managers. They are the backbone of the program. Lauren, Madison and Cam are fantastic!!! 🦅✊🏼

During a walk with my 6-year-old daughter, she noticed a dying tree. After a moment of quiet she said, “Dad, I’m going to be sad when you ‘oof’.” (Her word for die) She started crying and gave me a hug. 😢❤️ Children are so genuine! And that hug was amazing!

Thank you for the tribute, Bonitta! I appreciate your dedicated support all of these years. You have raised awareness of the SID profession, especially among HBCUs. I will miss you!
An incredible honor for me to share this moment with an HBCU legend & CoSIDA Hall of Fame inductee Bill Hamilton. When you have people like Bill in your corner, the sky is the limit. Many Thanks Bill!

SO PROUD of Sofia for graduating summa cum laude, the highest academic distinction with a GPA higher than 4.25, and earning multiple honors, including the Principal’s Award for her overall contributions to her high school. Congratulations Sofia!
Not when you have 3-4 sports playing home games at the same time. Please, let’s not let college administrators think that 1 SID handling 15+ sports is the right thing to do.
CHARACTER COUNTS! After
@NCCU_Football
team photo, I asked for volunteers to move a ladder. Two freshmen stepped up: Devin Smith & Marseille Miller.
On Saturday, Marseille blocked a punt for a TD & Devin had his 4th TD catch this season.
Happy to see good character rewarded.
TRULY GRATEFUL for the incredible support system that has allowed me to reach this milestone. Sincere Thanks to
@CoSIDAnews
& those who shared such generous remarks in this story, which was so diligently crafted by hall of famer Bill Hamilton. I am humbled & blessed. 🙏

My 5-year-old daughter after kindergarten orientation:
“I love recess! Well, I’m not really sure what recess is, but I know I’m gonna love it!” 😂😂😂 She’s so excited.
It’s “Way Back Wednesday” at my daughter’s high school, so she asked if she could wear my college baseball jacket. (Had to go ‘way back’ in storage for this. Great memories.) Go

I am excited for this unique opportunity that keeps me close to home and still surrounded by my professional network and personal relationships. The Duke family has been incredibly welcoming and supportive. I’m ready for this new chapter.
NCCU’s victory tonight over North Carolina A&T has given our Head Coach
@levellemoton
his 251st win. This ties him with Coach Floyd Brown for the most wins all time in NCCU Men’s Basketball History.
The Eagles next game will be against St. Andrews at home, this Friday at 7pm.

I wish NFL would establish a rule to keep the media off the field after the game to allow the players to celebrate rather than be trapped in a media scrum.
