By Staff Report, posted 2 years ago

Fayetteville State University recently announced the formation of its Board of Visitors. There are 53 members appointed to the Board, which will function as an advisory board to Chancellor Darrell T. Allison and senior leadership at the school.

 

Appointees will bring their industry experience to the table, as well as their “commitment to civic and community service,” the press release said.

 

“With Fayetteville State University being the second oldest public institution and the oldest public HBCU in North Carolina, it was vitally important to me that our rich and storied institution establish an official Board of Visitors,” said Allison. “FSU boasts an unparalleled roster of graduates who have gone on to make national and global impact, while also influencing the most powerful of leaders of our time who, in turn, became strong champions in helping to advance FSU’s mission. Therefore, I am honored to announce this inaugural class of the FSU Board of Visitors. We have a distinguished list of leaders who bring significant ability to strengthen our university, and all members – both FSU alum and non-FSU alum – come with one goal  in mind: expanding FSU’s impact in the greater Fayetteville, the Sandhills region, our state and nation.”
