Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF), the global leader in silicon
carbide technology, announced today that CEO Gregg Lowe has been
elected to serve on North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State
University’s (N.C. A&T) Board of Trustees. N.C. A&T is the
nation’s No. 1-ranked historically black college or university
(HBCU).
“North Carolina A&T is proud of our continued strong
partnership with Wolfspeed and the appointment of CEO Gregg Lowe to
our Board of Trustees,” said N.C. A&T Chancellor Harold L.
Martin, Sr. “Gregg’s leadership and extensive science and
technology background will serve as a vital resource for our
prestigious university. I look forward to working with him as we
provide new opportunities for our students to pursue the next
generation of careers in the green economy, drive innovation and
look to solve the problems of both today and tomorrow.”
“I am excited to join the North Carolina A&T Board of
Trustees and to serve their students and community,” said Lowe.
“Wolfspeed firmly believes in the power of students to change the
world, and I’m eager to further strengthen our relationship while
working together to usher in the next generation of scientists,
technologists and innovators.”
Wolfspeed and N.C. A&T share a rich history of partnership
and collaboration. In 2020, Wolfspeed committed $4 million over
five years to the HBCU, the single largest donation in the
university’s history at that time, to create the Wolfspeed Endowed
Scholars Program. The two entities worked together to establish
comprehensive education and training curricula and cutting-edge
research and innovation programs. This partnership has opened
opportunities for undergraduate and graduate credentials in silicon
carbide semiconductor manufacturing, as well as training and career
advancement programs for existing semiconductor manufacturing
workers.
During President Biden’s visit to Wolfspeed headquarters earlier
this year, Wolfspeed announced the continuation of this
collaboration with their intent to apply for CHIPS and Science Act
funding to build a new research and development facility on North
Carolina A&T’s campus. The R&D facility will be focused on
silicon carbide to support the next generation of advanced compound
semiconductors.
