MONTGOMERY, Ala. |
The North Carolina Central University
(NCCU) Office of Alumni Relations has chosen its 2020 class of Forty Under
Forty, which recognizes outstanding young alumni who are making a significant
impact.
This year’s class features Alabama State University Deputy
Director of Athletics Terrance Jones, a two-time graduate of NCCU. Jones received
his Bachelor of Arts in sports recreation management in 2011, and then his
Master of Public Administration in 2013.
Jones, in his fourth year at Alabama State and second in his
current role, is responsible for fundraising efforts with the Hornet Club and
all external components of the athletic department – marketing, communications,
and tickets – while also having sport administrator responsibilities.
He has spent time in the athletic departments at North
Carolina Central – five-plus years in the marketing department – and Delaware State
as the Associate Athletic Director for Marketing and Promotions. Jones is a member
of the Minority Opportunities Athletic Association (MOAA) and the National
Association of Collegiate Marketing Administrators (NACMA).
In the summer of 2016, he graduated as a participant in the
NCAA Leadership Institute in Phoenix (Ariz.) and also serves on the advisory
board of TicketReturn, LLC.
The honorees are chosen by a committee of their peers, are
all under age 40, and have made contributions to the arts, law, entertainment,
healthcare, sciences, U.S. military, education, business, philanthropy, and
public service. The awards were created to recognize the next generation of
NCCU alumni who are making a difference in the world. They represent
approximately one-third of the university’s under-40 alumni and a valuable
percentage of NCCU donors.
The selection committee was comprised of NCCU alumni, administrators,
and industry leaders. A virtual event to honor and recognize the class will be
announced soon by NCCU.
