For more than 20 years, Pamela Baldwin, Ed.D, has enhanced educational institutions by focusing on student success and innovation in the classroom. As the inaugural Vice Chancellor for Strategic Enrollment and Student Success at Fayetteville State University, she is building a clearer path for prospective students to enroll and graduate. Her appointment was effective July 1.
“As the University expands and prioritizes enrollment, retention and graduation rates, this new role was created to chart a path forward,” said Chancellor Darrell T. Allison in a press release. “Dr. Baldwin is an experienced leader who works collaboratively with others to set strategic goals and attain them. I am confident that she will be instrumental in advancing FSU’s aggressive goals of remaining as one of the most affordable institutions in the nation and achieving an even greater rate of success of students obtaining their degree in 4 years or less.”
The role aligns with FSU’s and the UNC System’s strategic goals, prioritizing not only enrolling students but also supporting them through the academic continuum toward graduating in four years or less. The new role also elevates FSU’s commitment to preparing students for success after graduation with quality academic, professional and co-curricular opportunities that enhance their experience.
As the new VC for Strategic Enrollment and Student Success Baldwin oversees enrollment management and student success.
“This work includes creating processes in the Admissions Office and the Registrar’s Office to recruit and enroll students, seamlessly moving them to the advising center where they can register for the right courses and establish graduation plans,” Baldwin said in a press release.
She also leads student success strategy, where FSU’s Career Services – paid internships and workforce pipeline – will play a more critical role in the overall academic experience for students.
“The most important part of this role is being a great collaborator across our campus to implement initiatives that improve outcomes and remove barriers to provide a better experience and better pathways for all students,” Baldwin added in a press release.
Prior to this role, Dr. Baldwin served as the Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Success and Enrollment Management, where she assisted with two consecutive years of record-high summer school enrollment. She also piloted Bronco Benefit, which saw the university go from one to 16 guaranteed transfer admissions partnerships with North Carolina community colleges.
