Dean Emeritus Quiester Craig Passes Away at 88
Craig understood that the business school’s reputation greatly impacted the value of its alumni’s degrees, so he dedicated himself to building and maintaining the school’s sterling reputation. “We aren’t worth a dime if they aren’t successful,” he said. “You’re only as good as your last graduates and what they are doing. What we want to have is a flock of students who will carry on the legacy of the School of Business and Economics.”
Under Craig’s guidance, A&T in 1979 became the nation’s first historically Black college or university to earn accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) — the gold standard for business schools internationally. The AACSB vote was unanimous. He followed that in 1986 by leading the school to earn AACSB’s separate accreditation for accounting programs, elevating A&T to an elite group of universities globally that hold both credentials.
