Celebrating 150 Years of Educational Excellence

Fayetteville State University

150th Program Guide 2017-2018

(ses-qui-cen-ten-e-al)THE 150TH MILESTONE The mutli-colored threads of our history have created a legacy and a future vibrant with pride and expectation. We celebrate the multi-faceted cords that have for one-hundred-and-fifty years served to bind us together in the common quest of knowledge and social well-being.

Educational excellence has been the battle cry; tenacity and fortitude the staple. The fabric woven has bloomed in flourescent hues, the product of subtle and bold combinations. We look to the future as we contemplate the faded hues of the past in order to celebrate the effervescent boldness of the present. Sewn in like threads are our common goals with each individually creating a distinctive and unique seam in the fabric of our beloved one-hundred-and-fifty-year-old Fayetteville State University.

Find yourself woven in this tapestry.

Find yourself in this celebration.

Your Invitation Celebrate with Fayetteville State University...............................................................................68-69

Dear Alumni and Friends,

When the visionary founders of Fayetteville State University (FSU) made the bold decision to pool their hardearned resources together to form this great institution, they didn’t realize the impact that it would have on this city, state, nation and world.

As they sat around the table discussing their vision of a place for educating the children of freed slaves, I am certain it was their wish that the institution would provide an education that was second to none, and that it would prepare its students to be competitive in the world in which they lived. If they were with us today as we celebrate 150 years of existence, they would be proud of what their investment has yielded.

FSU and the Fayetteville community have come together to celebrate this tremendous milestone in this university’s history. A great deal of thought went into selecting a theme that would encompass the university’s glorious past while at the same time honor its bright future. The theme, “ Celebrating 150 Years of Excellence in Preparing Educators, Leaders, and Engaged Citizens,” aptly encompasses the vision of our founders and the path FSU has charted during its historical existence. It pays homage to FSU’s roots in training facilitators of learning, preparing global leaders, and challenging them to better serve all of humanity – the very foundations on which this institution was built. It also pays homage to the alumni, Bronco family members, friends, and supporters of FSU. It is my sincere hope that as we move forward in the coming months with this celebration, you take a moment to their life savings – who had the wisdom and forethought to establish Fayetteville State University. Think about where it was then and what it has become now. Like those seven founders, you also should be proud and ready to support the miracle that they launched.

In the Bronco Spirit,

James A. Anderson Chancellor

September 1, 2017 Chancellor James Anderson Fayetteville State University 1200 Murchinson Road Fayetteville, NC 28301 Dear Chancellor Anderson and Bronco Family: Very few institutions in American public life can claim a 150-year history of proud accomplishments. Fewer still can boast a century and a half of pathbreaking achievement. Fayetteville State University (FSU) is a credit to the University of North Carolina System, an inspiring part of our state’s history, and a guiding light for our nation.

Simply put, North Carolina is a better place because of the people of FSU. That has been true from the very beginning, when the founders of the Howard School recognized that civic equality must include the opportunity to pursue an education. They acted with bravery and generosity to serve newly free North Carolinians, setting an example that would echo across the southeast and across the country.

That fundamental idea—that educational excellence is the birthright of all Americans—has transformed the lives of generations of students at FSU. Their successes and contributions give life to FSU’s beautiful motto, offering a testament to the power of Res Non Verba (“Deeds, not words”).

As the Bronco family celebrates a well-earned anniversary and a glorious homecoming celebration, I offer my deepest appreciation for all that FSU students, faculty, staff, and alumni have accomplished. And I look with great expectation toward an even brighter future for Fayetteville State University.

Warmly,

Margaret Spellings President

The Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra performs regularly on the Fayetteville State University campus. This year, they are back, performing as part of the FSU Arts Series again this season, but this year, they will feature a special guest. World-renowned soprano and opera singer, Angela Brown will be performing with the symphony. As part of FSU’s Sesquicentennial Year celebration, this performance will feature African Americans in music during that 150-year time period. The performance will include music

by Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, and William Grant Steele among others. “We don’t often capture music by African Americans. I don’t know how much people have heard this music and have been exposed to this music. It is a chance to educate our audience,” Dr. Don Parker, FSU Professor of Music and Interim Chair in Performing and Fine Arts, who is also a Principal Percussionist with the Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra said. “This is unique. It’s not often that the symphony gets to perform with a world-renowned soprano.” Angela Brown has performed at FSU in the past. She performed a presentation related to opera from a black woman’s perspective, a show she does. In addition to her performance, she also did a master’s class with some of the students.

Angela Brown “This is an opportunity to bring her back as part of our history but to also allow her to be featured on a larger stage. She is an incredible performer.

This is a concert not to be missed.” Parker said. The Fayetteville Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1956 in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and is a professional, regional orchestra whose mission is to “educate, entertain, and inspire the citizens of the Fayetteville, North Carolina region as the leading musical resource.” They often perform at FSU once or twice a season. The concert will be held on February 1, 2018 in Seabrook Auditorium.

They visited several times throughout the year and worked with area middle and high school students as well as FSU students. “They have a redefined the classic woodwind quintet by commissioning new works, and reaching out to a diverse audience of all ages,” Dr. Don Parker, FSU Professor of Music and Interim Chair in Performing and Fine Arts said. Imani Winds has been performing for more than 20 years.

They have bridged a gap between American, European, Latin, and African styles and are known for their collaborations with other artists and groups. Imani (which means faith in Swahili) Winds features a clarinet, flute, oboe, bassoon, and a French horn.

Teachers are out there teaching the next generation of students that could come to FSU to study.” The concert will consist of several different types of music, possibly including choirs, bands, string ensembles, and show choirs. The concert will take place in Seabrook Auditorium.

Sheryl Linch-Parker, Professor of Music at FSU came up with the idea for an alumni concert and has been working to locate alumni who may want to take part. “The University has put out so many music teachers that are still in the area, I thought it would be a good idea to feature our alumni as an extension of what FSU does for the community,” Linch-Parker, who

The play focuses on the creation of a school during the Reconstruction period shortly after the end of the Civil War. Seven local businessmen pooled their money and resources, purchased a parcel of land and formed a school dedicated to teaching local black youths to read and write— something heretofore illegal. The play then plots the growth of the school over a span of 150 years to its’ current inception and highlights each dedicated leader who took the school closer to what it is today.

Finally, the play looks at the changing student population over the years and how the face of education was transformed at Fayetteville State University.

Monument to Leadership 1867-2017 The Transformative Vision Vandorn Hinnant The Monument to Leadership represents the transformative vision of Fayetteville State University’s founders, principals, presidents, and chancellors whose ideas, hard work, and collaboration with state, federal, and allied contributors, converged into a swirling, ever reaching upward motion, moving the grammar school to a normal school, to a college, and now as a university “celebrating 150 years of excellence in preparing educators, leaders and engaged citizens”. The wings extending out at the top represent graduation, yet the commencement of a new beginning for graduates to transform the state, nation, and world.

The year 1867 was a very important year in the history of African Americans.

It witnessed many significant advances in civil rights—such as the granting of voting rights to African-American men in Washington, D.C., the beginning of Reconstruction in the South with voter registration for blacks, black ride-ins staged in Richmond, VA, and New Orleans, LA, and the first votes cast by blacks in a U.S. state election in the South. That year also was a banner year for advancements in higher education for African Americans, as well. It witnessed not only the founding of the Peabody Fund to promote education for blacks in the South and

The National HBCU9 Committee

the establishment of the original U. S. Department of Education, but also the founding of more Historically Black Colleges and University than in any other year, before or after, in U. S. history.

Nine HBCUs—located in four southern states (Alabama, Georgia, Maryland and North Carolina) and in the District of Columbia—trace their founding to 1867: Alabama State University, Barber-Scotia College, Fayetteville State University, Howard University, Johnson C. Smith University, Morehouse College, Morgan State University, St. Augustine’s University and Talladega College.

Throughout 2017, all of them will celebrate their sesquicentennial on their campuses; and they decided over a year ago, and have been working for the last year, on a joint one-week celebration—September 24-30, 2017—in which they will focus collectively on the enduring legacy and achievements of their institutions and their contributions, as well as on those of other HBCUs, to the making of this nation. With this unified and collaborative observance, they hope to focus the nation’s attention sharply and effectively on the remarkable record of HBCUs, both historically and presently, and their tremendous value as some of the nation’s hidden treasures. In addition, they wish to generate a national conversation on the critical role that HBCUs must play in 21st-century American education and what the nation must do, in its own best interest, to preserve and enhance them.

During the first three days of this HBCU-9 United Sesquicentennial Celebration, the institutions will hold a number of common activities on their own campuses, including a worship service, a Sesquicentennial Tree-Planting Ceremony and student spoken-word and writing competitions on the importance of HBCUs. During the last three days of the week, they will convene at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland, for an HBCU-9 Sesquicentennial Summit, where the leaders, faculty, students and alumni of those institutions will hold a joint celebration and conduct a major conversation about their legacies, their achievements and their challenges. The Summit will include an evening performance by the United HBCU-9 Choir (composed of singers from all of the institutions), a torch relay of runners from all nine institutions, a roundtable discussion and fireside chat among the presidents and chancellors of the

The University Seal The Chancellor’s Medallion The Fayetteville State University Chancellor’s Medallion features the university seal in bronze brushed with gold, surrounded with decorative

stone. The medallion’s chain echoes the decorative pattern that the seal is couched in, complete with stones in the university’s spirit color of royal blue. The seal displays symbols of the university’s history. The historic Alumni Gates stand near the main entrance of Fayetteville State University (FSU) on Murchison Road. The gates were donated by alumni and erected in 1925. The gateway symbolizes the university’s warm and welcoming nature, and the wrought-iron lamp situated at the center of the arch represents learning and scholarship as lighting the way to success for our students.

Below the gates, the founding year of 1867 is prominently displayed. Between the gates is the Howard School, from which the university emerged. An open book depicts the early mission of the university as a teacher preparatory institution, and the clasped hands over the book symbolize the cooperation among races that has enabled FSU to grow and prosper throughout its history. Within the banner is the university Motto, “Res Non Verba.” Latin for “Deeds, Not Words.”

The seal for Fayetteville State University, commissioned in 1989, was recently redesigned but retained the previous historic symbols. The seal shows the historic Alumni Gates, erected in 1925. Below the gates, the founding year of 1867 is prominently displayed. Between the gates is the Howard School from which the university emerged.

An open book depicts the early mission of the university as a teacher preparatory institution, and clasped hands inside the book symbolize unity. Within the banner is the university Motto, “Res Non Verba,” Latin for “Deeds, Not Words.”
