Revision10: September 2015
The Carla Macon Granville Engineering Scholarship
“Given in Loving Memory of Our Dear Friend Carla”
January 22, 1967 – September 11, 1995
Carla began her studies at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 1984, and
received her Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Engineering in 1988. She was a Master of Science
degree candidate in Industrial Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University in the early 1990’s.
Carla was a devoted friend and classmate to all who met her while attending North Carolina A&T State
University. She was always willing to lend a helping hand to those who needed it and provide advice to
those who wanted it. Carla was a dedicated Industrial Engineering student who wanted everyone to
succeed. If she understood a concept, she was always willing to explain and clarify the concept to those
who desired more understanding. Reaching out could have easily been Carla’s motto because that is
exactly what she did for others.
Carla succumbed to Breast Cancer on September 11, 1995. Although she is not with us now, her legacy
will live on through this scholarship made possible by her friends, now alumni, from the Industrial
Engineering department. It is only befitting that this scholarship is named in her memory because she
would have wanted to help another Industrial Engineering student to succeed.
