    Meritorious Service
John and Nancy Rowland, longtime residents of Durham, N.C., volunteered to operate scoreboard and play/shot clocks for NCCU football and basketball games for more than 10 years.

They brought professionalism and Eagle pride to the press box and scorer’s table during their countless hours of service.

Besides being dear friends to NCCU Athletics staff and coaches, the Rowlands served as loving mother and father figures to thousands of student-athletes.

They also helped to run the concession stands at home athletic events and donated hundreds of old trophies to be refinished and presented to student-athletes at athletic banquets.
