The Ebony Harlem Awards began as a way of honoring exceptional students within the African American community at N.C. State. In the past, members from outside of the NCSU community would come to State to present students with awards.
Today, the Ebony Harlem Awards ceremony is a collaboration between African American Student Affairs, the African American Cultural Center and the African American Heritage Society. Exceptional students, faculty and staff are nominated by their fellow peers to receive awards ranging from excellence in sports to excellence in service.
The Ebony Harlem Awards honors outstanding male and female students in each award category. Faculty and staff also receive awards for their humble service to students. Students and/or organizations are nominated by their peers and/or faculty/staff members in the following categories: Drama, Literary, Dance, Instrumental Music, Vocal Music, Art, Service, Leadership, Distinguished Person.
This year’s Ebony Harlem Awards Program will take place on Tuesday, April 24, 2012 at 6:30 PM in the Campus Cinema and African American Cultural Center, Witherspoon Student Center.
