History
In 1865, a "sophisticated" education agenda was already underway in Fayetteville’s black community. A year after the Civil War ended, the Phillips School provided primary education to Fayetteville’s black citizens, and the Sumner School provided intermediate education for this population.

Sports facilities
- The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Complex, completed in 1995 and known as one of the best in the NCAA's Division II, was named after Felton J. Capel, a Fayetteville State University Board of Trustee Member.
- The Health, Physical Education and Recreation Building also boasts an indoor walking track, an aerobics studio, racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, weight rooms and the athletic department's athletic training facility.
- In addition to serving as the home floor for the Broncos' men's and women's basketball teams, Capel Arena also has hosted graduations, concerts, step shows and probates. The arena also hosts the annual Athletics Banquet.
Student clubs
- People often learn most by doing; so, we encourage you to take advantage of the many opportunities offered outside of the classroom. You will find these opportunities in your residence hall and through student organizations.
- If you would like to learn more about campus activities, help organize a club, become a member of an organization or make suggestions about activities or programs.
