- Listen, I knew coming to here, 2021, Fayetteville State, we were challenged in some way.

We have a beautiful campus, but we had decades of resource needs, infrastructure.

We are one of the lowest in terms of fundraising, alumni, support.

David, again, so, so, so, so grateful to our state since I've been here, And our state legislature, our board, the governor's UNC system, with over $200 million of investment in terms of new buildings, et cetera.

Individuals that have been here 20 years said to me: "Chancellor, you don't understand.

We haven't seen a crane on our grounds in 20 years."

And now when you come on our campus here, you see multiple cranes here.

So we've been tremendously blessed and very fortunate to see some of that growth here and see some of those resources here.

And so we have to be an institution that just cannot see the single stream of did we hit our enrollment numbers, here's the revenue or not.

We have to really think about diversifying our revenue streams.

And so we're really excited about the fact that we have opportunity here with our entities.
