BIOGRAPHY

Dr. S. Keith Hargrove, Sr. was elected the 8th chancellor of Elizabeth City State University (ECSU) on May 15, 2025, by the University of North Carolina Board of Governors following a national search and nomination by UNC System President Peter Hans. Hargrove brings more than three decades of leadership, teaching, and research experience in higher education and industry, with service at three historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs).
Previously, Hargrove served as immediate past provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Tuskegee University, where he led the implementation of a five-year strategic plan that resulted in a 10% increase in enrollment for consecutive years and improved graduation rates. His tenure also included the development of a new aviation program and a data science initiative.
“We’re only as great as we allow ourselves to be.”
