Founded as the Slater Industrial Academy in 1892 and achieving university status in 1972, Winston-Salem State moves forward as an integrated state-supported institution. Located on the hills of east Winston-Salem, nineteen hundred of us become our own community and yet become a part of the larger community ofthis progressive city. The campus itself represents the blending of the old and the new - classic revival architecture accented by contem- porary structures, traditional settings housing exciting new facilities, a continuum from the past to the future. And all preparing the individual student for changing times. 5

he community of this university is complete in lIS6lf with an administration building, six academic build- ings, five labs, an auditorium, a gym, a cafeteria, a student union, a library, seven dorms, and a health center. An on-cam- pus bank, student store, beauty salon, barber shop, laundry, and recreational facilities, all invite us to make this our home. Yet as We involve ourselves in this microcosm, we become aware of the larger community and the potential for growth beyond our little world. Joining with three other local colleges, we reach out into the community through urban affairs to serve beside those agencies who seek to resolve urban problems and to make Way for change and improvement. Our participation be- comes more involved - our microcosm changes.
