CityViewNC.com | 59 The TOP Five CityView profiles five female powerhouses making a difference in higher education on family, productivity and success PHOTOGRAPHY BY WILLIE GLASGOW KIARA LOVE SHARILYN WELLS MATTHEW WONDERLY BY MIRIAM LANDRU These women in their field, from UNC-Pembroke to Campbell University (and in between here in Fayetteville) are at the top. We are honored to profile these five women who give so much to their colleges and communities. Dr. Juanette Council Associate Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs, Fayetteville State University Born and raised in Fayetteville, NC and fih generation, Dr. Juanette Council is a true Fayettevillian at heart and active Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority member. She graduated from E.E. Smith High School and received her bachelors at e University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, masters from Hampton University in Hampton, Virginia and finally, her doctorate in Educational Leadership from Fayetteville State University. Upon her graduation from Chapel Hill, Council was at a crossroads and didn't want to go into education as a teacher because it seemed that's what everyone in her family did. So, she started working at FSU in a tem- porary position while she decided what she wanted to do. By destiny, she started working on a grant in the department of student affairs. "Student Affairs chose me," Council confided. Aer she finished her masters, Fayetteville State University called. Council anticipated a move to the Big Apple, but God had another plan in store for her in 1990 when she moved to a different position within student affairs. It was then that she fell in love with FSU, it's students and all things Fayetteville State and higher education. "I received the opportunity to be the director of student services in the student center." Dr. Council understood that she needed to go out to the students to make them feel comfortable and that is something that her mentor at FSU, Olivia Chavis, noticed. And then, Dr. Council's career blossomed at the HBCU on Murchison Road. "I really have a passion for my job. Students give you life. I love helping them realize their dreams and ambitions."
