The Johnson C. Smith University Annual Arch of Triumph Gala is one of Charlotte’s signature fundraising galas and premier social events. A vision of JCSU President Ronald L. Carter, the gala extends an opportunity to dignitaries, corporate and civic leaders, alumni and other supporters to raise critical unrestricted dollars for the JCSU Fund. This fund enables the University to offer scholarships, teaching and learning initiatives, as well as programs essential to providing a quality educational experience for JCSU students.
