Rev. Henry Pickett, a 1961 graduate of Elizabeth City State Teachers College, was named Trustee Emeritus during the 150th Commencement at Elizabeth City State University. A Trustee Emeritus has none of the obligations of membership but is entitled to the privileges, except those of making motions, voting, holding office and attending closed sessions of the full Board of the Executive Committee.
Pickett served on the Board of Trustees for 8 years total --- four years for each term. He served on the Student Affairs, Buildings and Property, Executive Personnel and the Endowment Fund Committees. His last term on the ECSU Board of Trustees ended in 2009.
“It was a great honor and privilege to serve the university I was a graduate of. I learned a lot as trustee and it was humbling experience to help make decisions that would affect students, faculty and staff,” Pickett said. “I enjoyed working with both the Chancellors (Burnim and Gilchrist).”
Pickett earned a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, a master’s degree in guidance and counseling from North Carolina Central University (1973); a certificate of administration (1994) from NCCU, and a master’s of divinity from Shaw University (1977).
He retired from the Wake County Public Schools (1991). Pickett served several churches in the Raleigh NC area as a pastor and he’s currently an associate pastor at Cosmopolitan Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC. He currently works as substitute teacher for middle schools in Raleigh, NC.
