UNC Senior Vice President and
Former Chancellor to Keynote Spring
Commencement
WINSTON-SALEM, NC - Dr. Harold L.
Martin, Sr., senior vice president for academic
affairs of the 16-campus University of North
Carolina and former chancellor of Winston-
Salem State University will be the keynote
speaker for WSSU’s 115th Spring
Commencement at the Lawrence Joel Veterans
Memorial Coliseum at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday,
May 5.
A native of Winston-Salem, Martin was
named to his current post in July 2006 by the
UNC Board of Governors on the recommenda
tion of UNC President Erskine Bowles. As the
UNC’s top academic officer, Martin is responsi
ble for leading the University’s educational and
research missions. In that role, he advises the president and Board of Governors on
academic issues and policies of University-wide importance and oversees academic
planning and budgeting, student affairs, sponsored programs and research, faculty
support, international programs, and strategy development and analysis.
Martin also works closely with campus chancellors and chief academic officers
on University-wide academic initiatives and helps focus diverse campus missions to
meet University and state goals and objectives.
In January of 2000, Martin was tapped by then UNC President Molly Corbett
Broad to provide stable, interim leadership for Winston-Salem State University
following the resignation of Chancellor Alvin Schexnider. Sixteen months later, he
was elected to the position on a permanent basis by the Board of Governors. During
Martin’s six-year tenure at WSSU, enrollment nearly doubled (from 2,796 to 5,556),
freshman SAT scores climbed by nearly 70 points, and the campus underwent a dra
matic physical transformation made possible in part by a $45-million investment from
the 2000 Higher Education Bond Program.
At WSSU, Martin is also credited with forging stronger working relationships with
internal and external constituencies, raising the quality and breadth of academic
degree programs, launching programs to improve student retention and graduation
rates, upgrading the campus’ technology infrastructure, and improving administrative
operations and efficiencies. In the tall of 2004, the campus also initiated a $35-million
capital fund-raising campaign, the largest in WSSU’s history.
Martin holds undergraduate and master’s degrees in electrical engineering from
North Carolina A&T State University and a doctorate in the field from Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University. He joined the A&T faculty in 1980 and was
named chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering in 1985 after a nine-
month stint as acting chairman. Four years later, he was named dean of the College
of Engineering, a post he held until being named vice chancellor for academic affairs
in 1994. From 1987 to 1994, he also served as an adjunct faculty member in North
Carolina State University’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Specializing in the field of computer engineering, Martin has written and lectured
widely on computer architecture and increasing the representation of underrepre
sented minorities and women in engineering. Named 2001 Man of the Year by the
Winston- Salem Chronicle, Martin also received Duke Power’s 2005 Citizen and
Service Award and McDonald’s 2005 African American Achievement Award for
Education. The NC A&T Alumni Association has recognized Martin as Alumnus of the
Year (1976), while Virginia Tech has honored him with its Distinguished Graduate
Alumni Award (2004) and the Bradley Department of Electrical Engineering Academy
of Distinguished Alumni Award (1998).
Martin has served on numerous boards including the Winston-Salem
Foundation, the SACS Commission on Colleges and Schools, the Central
Intercollegiate Athletics Conference, Microelectronics Center of NC, Blue Cross and
Blue Shield of North Carolina, the Forsyth County United Way, the Winston-Salem
Chamber of Commerce, the Winston-Salem Symphony, Idealliance, the Winston-
Salem Alliance, and the Piedmont Triad Partnership,
He has previously, served on advisory committees of the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, chaired the board of directors of the Southern Consortium
for Minorities in Engineering, and served on the boards of trustees of the NC School
of Science and Mathematics, the NC Board of Science and Technology, and the NC
Biotechnology Center Advisory Board.
Martin is married to Davida Martin, county attorney for Forsyth County. They
have two sons: Harold, Jr., a law student at Yale Law School; and Walter, a student
at Hampton University.
