GENERAL INFORMATION, AAMU, 2012-2013 ~ 5 ~ General Information HISTORY Alabama A&M University was organized in 1875 through the untiring efforts of its founder and first President, William Hooper Councill, an ex-slave. The school doors opened on May 1, 1875, as the Huntsville Normal School. Industrial education was added in 1878, generating widespread attention. This helped to garner financial support from the Slater and Peabody Funds and private contributors. Under the second Morrill Act of 1890, AAMU became a land grant institution and moved to its present location in 1891. The University has undergone four name changes during its 136 years of existence. Upon earning the junior college status in 1919, the name was changed to the State Agricultural and Mechanical Institution for Negroes. Senior college level courses were added in 1939; the first graduating class received the bachelor’s degree in 1941, and the name was changed to Alabama A&M College in 1949. The College became a fully accredited member of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1963. Subsequently, the name was changed to Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in 1969. MISSION Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University reflects the uniqueness of the traditional land-grant institution combining teaching, research, service, liberal arts, and vocational fields. The University offers baccalaureate, masters, and doctoral level degrees (that are compatible with the times) to all qualified and capable individuals who are interested in further developing their technical, scientific, professional, and scholastic skills and competencies. The University operates in the three-fold function of teaching, research, extension and other public service. Alabama A&M University, a center for excellence, provides an educational environment for the emergence of scholars, scientists, leaders, critical thinkers, and other contributors to a global society. In cooperation with business, industry, governmental agencies, and other private and community-based institutions, Alabama A&M University provides a laboratory where theory is put into practice globally. Further, the University is committed to: 1. Excellence in education and the creation of a scholarly environment in which inquiring and discriminating minds may be nourished; 2. Education of students for effective participation in local, state, regional, national, and international societies; 3. Search for new knowledge through research and its applications; 4. Provision of a comprehensive outreach program designed to meet the changing needs of the larger community; 5. Programs necessary to address adequately the major needs and problems of capable students who have experienced limited access to education, and 6. Integration of state-of-the-art technology into all aspects of University functions. In cooperation with businesses, industry, governmental agencies, and other private and community-based institutions, Alabama A&M University provides a laboratory where theory is put into practice, in a productive environment. ROLE The role of Alabama A&M University in higher education is consistent with its mission, which is encompassed in the land-grant tradition, legislated by the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890. These acts created land-grant universities that differed from the traditional American universities that were based upon the European system oriented toward a liberal arts education. The departure from this system gave rise to a new concept in American higher education which is known as the land-grant tradition. This concept combined liberal arts with agricultural and vocational education to enhance the development of students to build a strong America. As a landgrant institution, the role of the University is embodied in the following functions: A. TEACHING: The first and foremost responsibility is to provide students with an education that is built upon the liberal arts, including emphasis in the scientific, technical, vocational and professional areas expected of a comprehensive land-grant university. B. RESEARCH: The University seeks to provide new knowledge through basic and applied research and supports both the teaching and extension functions through sponsored research, institutional research, and other research grants and contracts. C. EXTENSION: Extension provides services and educational opportunities which help people improve their lives. The University fulfills its role of providing formal and informal outreach education and development through public service, cooperative extension, and through a comprehensive, extended educational effort compatible with its mission. (Alabama is the first state to combine the extension programs at its 1862 and 1890 land-grant universities.) In 1995, the Alabama Cooperative Extension System was formally created, including Alabama A&M University and Auburn University, with Tuskegee University cooperating. This landgrant component of the public service mission at Alabama A&M University is tailored to meet the needs of a specific clientele, in both urban and rural settings. Through informal educational strategies, programs are designed to address current issues and needs of clients.
