The bill was sponsored by Delegate <a href="/wiki/Alfred_W._Harris" title="Alfred W. Harris">Alfred W. Harris</a>, a Black attorney whose offices were in Petersburg, but who lived in and represented Dinwiddie County in the General Assembly. A hostile lawsuit delayed opening day for nineteen months, until October 1, 1883. In 1902, the legislature revised the charter act to curtail the collegiate program and to change the name to <b>Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute</b>. </p><p>In 1920, the land-grant program for Black students was moved from a private school, <a href="/wiki/Hampton_Institute" class="mw-redirect" title="Hampton Institute">Hampton Institute</a>, where it had been since 1872, to Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. In 1923 the college program was restored, and the name was changed to <b>Virginia State College for Negroes</b> in 1930. The two-year branch in Norfolk was added to the college in 1944; the Norfolk division became a four-year branch in 1956 and gained independence as <a href="/wiki/Norfolk_State_College" class="mw-redirect" title="Norfolk State College">Norfolk State College</a> in 1969. Meanwhile, the parent school was renamed Virginia State College in 1946. The legislature passed a law in 1979 that changed the name to Virginia State University. </p><p>In the first academic year, 1883–1884, the university had 126 students and seven faculty (all of them Black), one building, 33 acres (13 ha), a 200-book library, and a $20,000 budget. By the centennial year of 1982, the university was fully integrated, with a student body of nearly 5,000, a full-time faculty of about 250, a library containing 200,000 books and 360,000 microform and non-print items, a 236-acre (96 ha) campus and 416-acre (168 ha) farm, more than 50 buildings, including 15 dormitories and 16 classroom buildings, and a biennial budget of $31,000,000, exclusive of capital outlay. </p><p>The university is situated in <a href="/wiki/Chesterfield_County,_Virginia" title="Chesterfield County, Virginia">Chesterfield County</a> at <a href="/wiki/Ettrick,_Virginia" title="Ettrick, Virginia">Ettrick</a>, on a bluff across the <a href="/wiki/Appomattox_River" title="Appomattox River">Appomattox River</a> from the city of Petersburg. It is accessible via Interstate Highways 95 and 85, which meet in Petersburg. </p><p>The first person to bear the title of President, <a href="/wiki/John_Mercer_Langston" title="John Mercer Langston">John Mercer Langston</a>, was one of the best-known Black men of his day. Until 1992, he was the only Black man ever elected to the United States Congress from Virginia (elected in 1888), and he was the great-uncle of the famed writer <a href="/wiki/Langston_Hughes" title="Langston Hughes">Langston Hughes</a>. From 1888 to 1968, four presidents – James H. Johnston, John M. Gandy, Luther H. Foster, Robert P. Daniel served an average of 20 years, helping the school to overcome adversity and move forward. The next twenty years, 1968–1992, saw six more presidents—James F. Tucker, Wendell P. Russell, Walker H. Quarles, Jr., Thomas M. Law, Wilbert Greenfield, and Wesley Cornelious McClure. On June 1, 1993, Eddie N. Moore, Jr., the former Treasurer of the Commonwealth of Virginia, became the twelfth President of Virginia State University. Dr. Keith T. Miller became Virginia State University's 13th president from 2010 to 2014. In 2015, Dr. Pamela V. Hammond became the first woman to lead Virginia State University in 133 years. She was appointed as interim president on January 1, 2015. On February 1, 2016, President <a href="/wiki/Makola_Abdullah" title="Makola Abdullah">Makola Abdullah</a>, Ph.D., was named as the 14th president of Virginia State University. Dr. Abdullah previously served as provost and senior vice president at Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Fla. President Abdullah is a Chicago native who is the youngest African American to receive a Ph.D. in engineering. He earned his undergraduate degree from Howard University in civil engineering and a Master of Science in civil engineering from Northwestern University. </p><p>In 2020, <a href="/wiki/MacKenzie_Scott" title="MacKenzie Scott">MacKenzie Scott</a> donated $30 million to Virginia State.
