Dr. Lana T. Henderson was a beloved mother, wife, and friend. During her time at North Carolina Central University, she was a full professor, former chair (Art Department), associate dean (College of Arts and Sciences), and cherished colleague, who devoted her career to NCCU. Dr. Henderson’s legacy is one of unwavering dedication, exceptional leadership, and an enduring commitment to the success of all students she came in contact with, NCCU faculty, and the Durham community. One of her most favorite accomplishments, while at NCCU, was writing several Fulbright-Hays grants to take students and educators abroad to learn about the cultural arts in the Caribbean.

Dr. Henderson’s remarkable career spanned decades, during which she made significant contributions to the NCCU Department of Art and Design and the university at large. Her visionary leadership as chair and dean was instrumental in shaping the department's programs and fostering an environment of innovation, creativity, and academic excellence. Dr. Henderson’s mentorship profoundly impacted generations of students and faculty; many of whom went on to earn doctoral degrees at institutions of higher learning across the country.

We invite the community to join us in honoring Dr. Henderson’s life and legacy at her upcoming services located at:
