RALEIGH, N.C.
Dr. Clarence G. Newsome, longtime dean of Howard University’s School of Divinity, becomes Shaw University’s 13th president on April 1. Newsome’s appointment was officially announced in mid-February at a news conference for trustees, alumni, students as well as the media.
Newsome, 52, says within 10 years he wants to increase Shaw’s endowment to $50 million, quadruple its enrollment — to more than 10,000 — and embark on a building program.
