Ebony Harlem Awards

Ebony Harlem Awards

April 21, 2024
6 - 8:30 p.m.
Piedmont-Mountains Ballroom, Talley Student Union

The Ebony Harlem Awards is the annual celebration of Black campus life at NC State. Ebony Harlem began in 1993 as a means to recognize the amazing efforts and impact of the Black community on and off-campus. It is a joyous celebration that honors NC State’s graduates, students, staff, faculty, and community.

Our 2024 theme pulls from the 1990s, a foundational period of Black popular culture in media, politics and entertainment, as well as another foundational era in the solidification of Black cultural life on NC State’s campus. The 2024 theme is “It’s a 90s Vibe” which we conceptualize as a reflection on our past, present, and beyond at NC State. This year we are having fun!  Enjoy a blast into the past as we reminisce on Black culture and contributions of the 90s within our community and beyond. As well as take a retrospective on Black life at NC State community campus. From sitcoms to music to fashion, we’ve got you covered!

This event honors and recognizes the contributions of undergraduate and graduate students on campus who are connected to the AACC.  We also honor the contributions, work, and mentorship of staff and faculty who support our students each year; celebrate Black graduates, and foster connections to the Black Alumni Association.

While this program centers on and explores the experiences of Black students, faculty, and staff at NC State, programs, events, and awards are open to all within the university community.
