Chancellor James Anderson announced today the appointment of Dr. Pam Jackson as Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs at Fayetteville State University (FSU). Jackson, who has been serving in an interim capacity, was selected for the post after a nationwide search.
"I could not be more pleased to welcome Dr. Pam Jackson as a permanent member of my senior administrative team," Anderson said. "We had several highly qualified candidates apply for the position and after extensive interviews with the faculty, staff and students, it was clear to the selection committee that the most qualified candidate was Dr. Jackson. In her time as Dean of the Broadwell College of Business and Economics and as interim provost, she demonstrated her talents as both a scholar and an administrator, and she will serve Fayetteville State University well."
