Grace Bullock, a senior public relations major at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, is making an impact this Homecoming season with the unveiling of her latest entrepreneurial venture, “The University Collection.” This exclusive merchandise line is a tribute to Aggie pride, debuting just in time for the 98th edition of the Greatest Homecoming on Earth.
Following her successful launch of DeEtte Market in December 2023, Bullock has crafted a collection featuring mulberry silk scarves. Each scarf showcases one of four unique designs inspired by the spirit and traditions of N.C. A&T. Only 65 pieces are available in each design.
“I want this to be an annual launch that Aggies can look forward to around Homecoming each year,” Bullock expressed. “Celebrating the festivities with something special and new each year is important to me, and I hope these scarves become a cherished tradition.”
Beyond just artistry, “The University Collection” embodies Bullock’s commitment to giving back to the Aggie community. A portion of the proceeds will be reserved to support juniors preparing for their senior year at N.C. A&T. Each year, a randomly selected junior will receive financial assistance to help alleviate their account balance.
“As an out-of-state student, I understand the financial burden that comes with it,” Bullock said. “I want to help lift that burden so students can focus on excelling in their studies. It’s important to me that students who might not have a 3.5 GPA or higher aren’t overlooked for financial assistance. My goal is to make a difference for those majoring in business or journalism and mass communication.”
“The University Collection” is now available for presale on the DeEtte Market website and coincides with the return of the beloved DeEtte Market nutcrackers.
