“I could not be more pleased to welcome Dr. Pam Jackson as a permanent member of my senior administrative team,” said FSU Chancellor James Anderson. “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.”
