Here's to our great host, Rashad Lewis Sullivan HipHip!.. 🍾🥂🥃💨

Dear Eagle Family,

It is my pleasure to announce the appointment of Mr. Rashad Sullivan as Chief of Staff for the Bryant Administration of the NCCU Alumni Association Durham Chapter.

Rashad is a proud 2007 graduate of North Carolina Central University, where he earned his B.S. in Political Science. With nearly two decades of experience in the financial services industry, he brings a wealth of professional knowledge and leadership to our chapter. Throughout his career, he has been committed to helping clients and the broader community achieve financial stability and long-term success.

Rashad’s love for NCCU runs deep. He is a Life Member of the NCCU Alumni Association–Durham Chapter and of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. He is also the Founder and CEO of Whiskey, Sticks, and Politics, a podcast where he has interviewed locally, regionally, and nationally prominent leaders on issues shaping our communities and our nation.

As Chief of Staff, Rashad will support our administration in fostering unity, driving initiatives forward, and ensuring that our chapter continues to soar. He is eager to assist fellow Eagles—both current and future—in achieving their goals.

Please join me in extending a warm welcome and full support to Mr. Rashad Sullivan as he steps into this important role.
