FALL/WINTER 2012 1 From the Chancellor’s Desk Dear FSU Alumni, Family and Friends, We have just completed another semester at Fayetteville State University (FSU) and more than 500 graduates joined the ranks of alumni during the 22nd Winter Commencement. We anticipate an even greater number for the upcoming Spring commencement. I am pleased to say that our world-class faculty has prepared these men and women to be ambassadors and advocates of the FSU brand worldwide. They have also equipped them with the tools to be change agents in this global world in which we live. We were honored to have as our commencement speaker United States Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. Many institutions nationwide requested the services of Secretary Duncan, but he selected to be with us because of our outstanding track record in the area of teacher education. His presence demonstrates that he and his colleagues on Capitol Hill believe in the quality of educators FSU produces and the impact we are making in this critical field. Even though we are entering our fourth year of budget cuts with the possibility of more on the horizon, I am optimistic of what the future holds for FSU. In the fall, two new buildings that will forever change the landscape of this institution will be completed. Renaissance Hall, a 336-bed living and learning center, will open. Also scheduled for completion is the $25 million Science and Technology Center, a grand facility that will become the centerpiece for an already beautiful and inviting campus. In the coming months, we will begin renovations to the Rudolph Jones Student Center. Some of the proposed enhancements will include expansion of the student dining hall and the addition of a multi-purpose ballroom that will enable the University family and community to have formal and semi-formal functions. The content of this issue of FS&U magazine will give you an even better idea of the tremendous strides and achievements this institution is making in academics, athletics, and student life. Our cover story is acknowledging legendary FSU golf Coach Raymond McDougal, who recently coached FSU to its 26th CIAA Championship. His history of winning in this sport is unparalleled in the conference. The FSU family is truly proud of him and his remarkable accomplishment. This issue also spotlights many of our outstanding alumni who continue to demonstrate their love, loyalty, and financial commitment through their service to FSU and to the communities in which they live. Please continue to support our scholarship fund raising efforts. It is indeed a great time to be a proud member of the White and Blue Family! In the Bronco Spirit, James A. Anderson Chancellor 2 FS&U MAGAZINE Golf Coach Achieves A T Legendary Status H L E T I C S here are coaches from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association who hold legendary status.

McDougal, coach of FSU’s powerhouse golf team, recently coached the team to its 26th CIAA title. FSU captured its 26th league championship and the 11th CIAA title in the last 15 years after winning the CIAA Golf Tournament by six strokes over Virginia State last month. It is the 16th golf championship under McDougal.

The Broncos have participated in eight NCAA DII Super Regional Tournaments and have finished as high as third in 2007 and second in 2009, where Fayetteville State earned its first NCAA Tournament berth to become the first HBCU in 35 years to make the championship tournament.
