Dr. Waddell is a member of the Cumberland County Alumni Chapter of Fayetteville State University's National Alumni Association and currently serves as the Benevolence Chairman.
"What I enjoy most about being the Fayetteville State University Alumni Queen is the chance to represent the heart and soul of Bronco Nation. Every moment I get to connect with fellow alumni, students, and supporters reminds me of how powerful our FSU bond truly is. I love celebrating our shared history, uplifting our future, and showing that once a Bronco, always a Bronco! Wearing this crown is more than a title—it’s a symbol of service, pride, and the unshakable spirit that Fayetteville State instills in all of us."
Dr. Waddell was born to Luther Boykin and the late Doris Pridgen Boykin and the stepdaughter to Bonnie Boykin. She marries (USAF Retired) TSgt Neil Waddell. She is the mother of R.
