Fayetteville State University’s Jennifer K. Addison, will be representing the University on a national level, after being named to the National Association of College and University Business Officers cohort of the Emerging Leaders Program for 2022-23.
Addison serves as interim associate vice chancellor of finance and controller in the Office of Business and Finance and FSU, and was selected from a number of applicants before being one of 68 potential business officers chosen for the year-long program.
“I am honored to be a part of NACUBO’s Emerging Leaders Program and have the opportunity to collaborate with and learn from my colleagues at other institutions around the country,” Addison shared in a press release. “Higher education is crucial to strengthening communities and creating opportunities for bright and talented young people to thrive and succeed. Strong leadership along with strategic financial growth and targeted investments make an extraordinary impact. I’m thrilled to be a part of that at FSU.”
A professional development opportunity for promising mid- level managers, the NACUBO program participants will work on their personal leadership skills, examine the impact of the business office and cross-campus relationships, and gain a better understanding of the present state and future of higher education. The program’s participants represent 56 institutions and 32 states.
“We are delighted to see Jennifer’s work and contributions to the business and finance operations at FSU recognized and rewarded,” said Greg Lovins, interim vice chancellor for business and finance in a press release. “She epitomizes the kind of leadership we want to foster and support. We are fortunate to have her in Fayetteville and look forward to the impact she will no doubt have in the future.”
Applicants were asked to demonstrate their commitment to furthering their careers in higher education finance and show strong potential for advancement. With the Emerging Leaders Program in its second year, it is one way to showcase the NACUBO’s priority to strengthen and diversify the chief business officer pipeline.
“The Emerging Leaders Program is an important part of NACUBO’s goal to strengthen the strategic leadership role CBOs hold on campus, as well as our ongoing focus on diversifying the pipeline of business leaders,” said Randy Roberson, vice president of leadership development at NACUBO in a press release. “We look forward to helping these exceptional business officers as they prepare to take on greater responsibilities at their institutions.”
