Preeminence Fayetteville State University continues to make strides in its quest to be among the preeminent universities in the country. During the 20062007 school year, many enhancements both academically and physically make FSU an institution whereby students from various walks of life can achieve their educational goals and faculty can conduct research at the highest levels. New 21st century academic programs were added, buildings were constructed and renovated, enrollment increased, and study abroad opportunities expanded.

Each member of the FSU family has played a role in these transformations. They did their part in holding up the university’s motto: “Res Non Verba” (Deeds Not Words). Their deeds have demonstrated to those who have entrusted the institution with providing them with the highest quality education possible that it is truly “All About U.”

“Nothing stops an organization faster than people who believe that the way you worked yesterday is the best way to work tomorrow.” ~ Jon Madonna

Strategic Milestones Academic Programs

Enrollment

The academic year began August 23 with record enrollment. A total of 6,301 students from diverse backgrounds made the decision to be a part of the FSU family. This figure represents an increase of more than 1,000 students over the last five years and puts the school ahead of its enrollment-project schedule.

FSU was not projected to break the 6,000-student mark until 2008.

Each year, the university has added new academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels that prepare students for careers which will garner both personal and financial fulfillment. In fall 2006, FSU launched its master’s degree program in criminal justice. The program addresses the needs of several constituents: • • •

•

Students with B.S. or B.A. degrees seeking to further their education in criminal justice Criminal justice professionals and researchers who wish to advance in their careers Criminal justice and social justice advocates seeking the knowledge and skills to improve the quality of justice in their communities Military personnel who want to enhance their skills and improve their employment marketability

Additional new bachelor’s programs were launched in fall 2006: • • • • •

B.S. Fire Science B.S. Art Education B.S. Psychology online completion B.S. Sociology online completion B.S. Criminal Justice online completion

President’s Advisory Council on Efficiency and Effectiveness (PACE)

University of North Carolina System President Erskine Bowles introduced the President’s Advisory Council on Efficiency and Effectiveness (PACE)–a University of North Carolina system-wide initiative that he proposed in his inaugural address. Immediately thereafter, goal setting, data gathering and analysis, and benchmarking began at each of the constituent institutions.

In the first phase, FSU gathered data and submitted a report to UNC General Administration (GA), capturing costs and expenditures throughout the university. The second phase required Fayetteville State to adopt PACE key operating principles—identifying opportunities for collaboration, innovation, elimination of redundancy, and overall improved management of the university’s resources with a focus on streamlining administrative functions and redirecting any cost savings to the core mission of education, research, and public service.

In the third phase, Fayetteville State University finalized its initiatives and action plans—including specific targets and measures for implementation in fiscal year 2007-2008 and beyond. In June 2007, each institution provided its implementation plan to UNC GA. The plan included short- and long-term activities designed to yield savings, cost avoidance, and an environment of efficiency and effectiveness.

Strategic Planning

The university completed its strategic plan. Included in the plan are priorities that are linked to the UNC Board of Governors Long-Range Strategic Plan. The Board of Governors’ priorities are as follows: • • • • • • • • • • • •

Student success: access, retention, graduation, and affordability An outstanding faculty More and better teachers; improved schools Research Quality academic programs and support services Regional and statewide economic development Adequate facilities Health care Information technology Internationalization Partnerships with community colleges Private fundraising

Facilities Master Planning

The university continued its work on its facilities master plan. A firm that specializes in campus master planning was hired to map, based on feedback from the university community, the course of action that FSU would take to accommodate growth in the coming years. An important element is the comprehensive Student Life Master Plan, which includes a Residential Life Master Plan, Student Center Master Plan, and a Recreation Master Plan.

Other strategic plans include the academic strategic plan, which will focus on developing high-quality programs that meet the educational needs of the region, state and nation. The parking plan will address the need of adequate parking facilities to accommodate a growing student population and will look at moving parking areas in an effort to make the campus more attractive. The recruitment and retention plan will focus on meeting the highereducation needs of individuals from diverse backgrounds and with varied aspirations and skill levels. It will also examine ways to retain these students. The technology plan has three foci: to improve the ability of decision makers to collect, process, and analyze data; to increase the use of technology in teaching and learning; and to improve administrative processes.

FSU and Public Education in the Region Fayetteville State University has demonstrated its support of public education in the region in countless ways. Perhaps, the greatest evidence of the university’s commitment is Cross Creek Early College High School, which opened in fall 2005 in the Butler Building. In its inaugural year, Cross Creek Early College High School (CCECHS) was one of the top-performing schools in Cumberland County. At the end of the year, the mean grade-point average for the students was 3.1. All students were promoted. In 2006-07, the students in the inaugural class at CCECHS are high school sophomores who were enrolled in FSU courses–either Criminal Justice 200 or Computer Science 100. All were on track to complete the university preparatory pathway to graduation.

In fall 2006, 75 new freshmen entered the school. With the enrollment of this group, the gender gap in the study body narrowed. Now 64% of the total enrollment is female (compared to 67% in 2005-06), and 36% is male. The racial/ethnic breakdown of the total student population this year remained relatively unchanged.

The group was still 67% African American and 17% white. The percentage of Hispanic students dropped from 10% to 7%, while the percentage of multi-racial students rose slightly from 7% to 8% and American Indian students remained at 1%.

A total of 96% of the students were proficient in Algebra I, 100% proficient in geometry honors, 99% proficient in English I honors, and 85% proficient in civics honors. Overall proficiency was 94.1% for the year.

Since CCECH’s birth, the university’s support of the high school has been extensive. A total of 5,600 square feet of space— for nine classrooms, a computer laboratory, and administrative offices— has been provided. The university contributed fifteen laptop computers and a charging cart to the high school. Space was set aside space in the dining hall for the students.

The university thanks Aramark-Gourmet, its dining vendor, for its generosity and student centeredness. The efforts of Aramark-Gourmet ensured that the high school met the requirements of Cumberland County Schools’ Child Nutrition Services in outstanding fashion.

Trustees and Administration

The Fayetteville State University Board of Trustees operated at full capacity. Mr. John “Ben” Brown assumed the chairmanship of the board, replacing Mr. Nathan Garrett. The members of the Board were as follows: Ms. Gloria M. Carter, Mr. Jerry C. Dean, Dr. Shirish D. Devasthali, Mr. Nathan Garrett, Dr. John R. Griffin Jr., Dr. Catherine LeBlanc, Ms. Juanita Pilgrim, Mr. Stephen W. Raper, Ms. Sylvia Ray, Mr. T. Michael Todd, and Mr. Roosevelt Wright. Mr. Clifford Parker, Student Government Association President, joined the board in June 2007 as an ex-officio member.

Several key administrators joined the university. Mr. Stephen McDaniel was named Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement.

Prior to joining FSU, Mr. McDaniel was Vice President for Institutional Advancement and Executive Director of the University Foundation at

Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University in Huntsville. Victor Pace III was named Director of Alumni Affairs. Dr. Arnold Cooper was named Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, while Dr. C. Barnabas Charles was selected as Assistant Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs.

Ms. Denise Bosselman joined Fayetteville State as Director of Bibliographical Instruction and Distance Education Librarian. Mr. David Camps was named Director of Sponsored Research.

Ms. Jolene Elkins was appointed Associate Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance. Ms. Trasey Lamotte was chosen as Treasurer/Bursar, while Ms. Lisa Shirley was appointed University Controller. Ms. Angela Revels-Bullard was appointed as Director of Human Resources. Dr. Edward McLean was welcomed as the new Director of Athletics. Ms. Marsha McLean was named Special Assistant to the Chancellor and Director of Special Projects.

“A vision is not just a picture of what could be; it is an appeal to our better selves, a call to become something more.� ~Rosabeth Moss Kanter

10

Specialized Accreditation

One of the major highlights for the Division of Academic Affairs was the School of Business and Economics receiving accreditation from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). Fayetteville State University is one of only 540 business schools worldwide with AACSB accreditation and is the only school in its economic-development region that holds the distinction. Currently, fewer than one-third of the nation’s business programs, and only 15% of the world’s business programs have earned AACSB accreditation. The accreditation placed FSU in the top 10% of business schools worldwide.

AACSB is one of the most prestigious and rigorous accrediting bodies for business programs in higher education. Receiving this distinguished accreditation demonstrates that the FSU School of Business and Economics has established itself as a leader among business schools. Students’ opportunities for participation in internships and cooperative programs are enhanced by Fayetteville State’s accreditation by AACSB, and so are their opportunities for permanent jobs.

The Master of Business Administration program continued to solidify its status as one of the best in the world. In 2006-07, a group of MBA students placed first during the Venture Challenge Business Plan Competition in Atlanta, Georgia. Their first-place award allowed them to compete in the Global MOOT Corp Business Plan in Austin, Texas, where they received accolades for best presentation, defeating 33 other teams that hailed from eleven different countries.

International Education

Efforts to enhance international education at Fayetteville State proved fruitful.

Four students from China pursued FSU master’s and doctoral degrees this year. A ninemember Fayetteville State University contingent spent three weeks in China in late May and early June; this was the first visit to the country by a group of FSU students. This trip will not be the last, according to Dr. Yunkai Chen, the university’s Assistant Vice Chancellor for International Education.

Dr. Chen and Dr. Yali Li were in China with the FSU group, which included recent graduate Mr. Kenneth Kimber, juniors Ms. Natalia Grant and Ms. Stefanie Montunnas, sophomore Ms. Nicole Krueger, freshmen Mr. Jeremy Crumpler and Ms. Ade Lilly, continuing-education students Ms. Carolyn Smith and Mr. A.E. Williams, and Mr. Matthew Lawson, a technician in the FSU library. The students completed two courses–Chinese Culture and Situational Chinese Conversation–at Inner Mongolia Normal University. They earned 13 A’s among 18 final grades.

Our faculty remains among the best in the University of North Carolina system.

More than 93 percent hold terminal or first-professional degrees.

Honors Program

The Honors Program ended its third year and graduated its first student, Ms. Megan Kutchenriter earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration with a concentration in marketing. When the Honors Program began almost four years ago, 42 students enrolled. A year later, 75 students were added. In fall 2006, 70 more joined the Honors Program family. The breakdown of this year’s new student population was as follows: 16 males and 54 females; 49 African-Americans, 11 white students, six Hispanic students, one Asian/Pacific Islander, and three classified as “other.”

Sixty-six of the participants were in-state students, and four were out-of-state students.

Student Highlights Mr. Saed Abokor, a junior, was honored with an award for research he presented at the Annual Biomedical Research Conference for Minority Students (ABRCMS) in Anaheim, California, in November 2006. ABRCMS is an annual conference organized by the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) and supported by a grant from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences. ABRCMS is the largest professional conference for biomedical students.

Over 2,500 people attended this year’s conference, including 1,633 students, 421 faculty and program directors, and 418 exhibitors.

The conference is designed to encourage underrepresented minority students to pursue advanced training in the biomedical and behavioral sciences and provide faculty mentors and advisors with resources for facilitating students’ success. During the four-day conference, over 1,100 students participated in poster and oral presentations in nine sub-disciplines in the biomedical and behavioral sciences.

12

More Student Highlights

All undergraduate student presentations were judged, and those receiving the highest scores in each scientific discipline and in each educational level were given awards during the closing banquet. A total of 120 undergraduates received monetary awards of $250 for their outstanding research. Mr. Abokor was recognized for his research elucidating the cardioprotective mechanism of insulin.

A team of five Fayetteville State University students finished in first place in the Seventh Annual Opportunity Funding Corporation (OFC) Venture Challenge Business Plan Competition. The competition took place April 12-15 in Atlanta and included students from 18 HBCU institutions. The FSU students were Ms. Madeline Bodoh, Mr. Tandon Mardis, Ms. Daniela Pavel, Mr. Amir Pirzadeh, and Ms. Christine Powell. Dr. Assad Tavakoli, who is the director of the FSU MBA program, was the team advisor.

The FSU business plan for the competition was SmartSaws, Inc., the brainchild of Pirzadeh. He developed the idea for software to be attached to an industrial power saw to determine how to cut different pieces of lumber to meet demand, increasing yield while minimizing waste. SmartSaws is more than a concept; it is actually a company producing industrial saws with the most advanced computer software in the industry. It is currently in trial run at a major furniture manufacturer. “This is our biggest success,� Tavakoli said.

Given that the FSU MBA team is a consistent contender for the OFC competition grand prize, Tavakoli’s statement says much. FSU has participated the last five years, finishing first or second during four of those years, with its other championship coming in 2005.

The procurement card program was successfully implemented with pilot campus departments–Chancellor’s Office, Student Affairs, ITTS, Marketing and Events, and Chesnutt Library. The program was established to allow rapid purchases of repetitive or low-dollar goods and services while simultaneously reducing paperwork associated with these types of purchasing processes.

Additional departments will be added to the program in a roll-out phase.

The university contracted with Tuition Management Systems (TMS) to assist with the billing and collection of student tuition and fees. TMS provides interest-free monthly payment options tailored to students’ needs.

The lease agreement for the University Bookstore was approved by the State of North Carolina. The lease provides approximately 4,738 square feet of office, warehouse, and retail space in Bronco Square for the relocation of the University Bookstore.

Phase I of the renovation for the Rudolph Jones Dining Hall began with the re-carpeting and purchase of new furniture to include tables, chairs, and barstools. The renovations were completed during summer 2007.

In August, the Council of State approved the university’s leasing of Phase I of the University Place Apartments (UPA) from the FSU Housing Foundation for a five-year period. On September 15, 2006, the Department of Residence Life assumed management of Phase II of the apartments.

Operation Smooth Move on August 19, 2006, was very successful.

More than 600 first-semester freshmen moved in without any major problems or incidents. A total of 1,209 students were housed on main campus, and 164 students were housed in UPA.

As part of the PACE initiatives, the division began to leverage technology to reduce the cost of telephone services in the residence halls, increased opportunities to enhance campus safety by outsourcing security for special events, and improved programs and services by reviewing the organizational structure and consolidating and streamlining processes.

The Division of Student Affairs coordinated the Annual Bronco Pride Awards Ceremony. Approximately 150 students and 20 student organizations were recognized for campus leadership through their involvement in residential and Greek life, student self-governance, and their unselfish service to FSU and the surrounding community.

FSU fraternities and sororities played a significant role in campus life during the 20062007 academic year. Approximately 2% of FSU students were members of national Pan-Hellenic Council organizations. The average grade-point average of such students was 2.9. They rendered countless hours of service to the university and the surrounding community by implementing and participating in numerous programs and activities, including the Domestic Violence Candlelight Vigil, a bone-marrow drive, campus clean-ups, a feeding-the-homeless campaign, Reading Rocks Walk-A-Thon, voterregistration drives, clothing drives, health fairs, and volunteer work at area schools.

The Student Activities Council sponsored the first Earth Day Observance on March 28, 2007, to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the earth’s environment. Activities included planting trees on campus and a campus clean-up. More than 14 FSU clubs and organizations participated in the event.

Homecoming was a resounding success. Ms. Carolyn Dunston, the retired director of FSU Alumni Affairs and a member of the Cumberland County Chapter of Fayetteville State alumni, was named Miss Alumni. The Director of Alumni Affairs has been working with the Future Alumni Association to increase membership for the academic year 2007-2008. The marketing strategy changed to encourage all students to become members of the Association by selecting key student leaders who serve on the executive board as members and by collaborating with Career Services to promote membership. Future Alumni students won a trophy for a campuswide community-service contest this year.

The division moved its administrative operations to the James Paige Alumni House in February 2007. The division assumed responsibilities for two additional units on campus—Career Services and Telecommunications (including WFSS 91.9 FM).

This reorganization consolidates FSU’s operations image-building operations and more than doubles the size of the division.

Under the leadership of the Divison’s newly appointed Vice Chancellor for Institutional Advancement, Mr. Stephen L. McDaniel, CFRE, Fayetteville State University made fundraising history in 2006-2007. On March 29, 2007, the university launched its most ambitious campaign ever, seeking $1.5 million. FSU received more than $1.75 million–surpassing the goal by more than 15 percent. The campaign, under the leadership of sixteen committees, sought unrestricted support for the needs identified by the FSU leadership team. The campaign solicited the support of alumni, community volunteers, parents, and other friends of the university. Additionally, the division implemented a comprehensive Major Gifts Moves Management Process to garner transformational gifts for the university.

Alumni Affairs has launched a new affinity travel program to meet the ongoing development needs of the Office of Alumni Affairs. Bronco Travels (www. broncotravels.com) began in mid-May 2007 and provided travelers, particularly alumni and friends, with a gateway to booking hotel rooms, reserving rental vehicles, and planning vacation packages. This affinity program uses the same automated technology and provides the same features and prices as Expedia, Orbitz, and Travelocity. Fayetteville State will receive 40% of the commissions earned.

The Chancellor’s and the Fayetteville State University Foundation’s 4th Annual Scholarship Gala was held April 14, 2007. A sellout, the event featured the legendary O’Jays.

The Fayetteville State University golf team captured its second consecutive PGA Division II National Minority Golf Championship in Port St. Lucie, Florida, in May 2007. This marks the fourth time that FSU’s team, coached by Mr. Raymond McDougal, has won the title. Mr. Derek Scott, a junior from Hope Mills, North Carolina, was the Division II Individual Medalist. Scott is the third consecutive golfer from Fayetteville State University to post the annual tournament’s lowest total.

Coach McDougal, who was named CIAA Golf Coach of the Year for the 11th time, guided the Broncos to their seventh conference championship in a row and their 22nd since golf became a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association varsity sport in 1970.
