First Lady Denise Armbrister welcomed to Charlotte with Tea

CHARLOTTE, N.C./Nov. 17, 2018 – On Saturday afternoon, November 17, 2018, an intimate gathering of local women met for a Ladies Tea at the Smith House to formally welcome First Lady Denise McGregor Armbrister to Charlotte.

This was a significant occasion for many reasons, and especially exciting given there has not been a “First Spouse” at the University for over 20 years.

Invited guests included women who have supported Johnson C. Smith University either financially or with social capital, their advocacy, volunteerism, and in-kind contributions.
