2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 2 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
A Year of Firsts The 2015-16 academic year was a year of transition for Campbell University. It saw two extremely important accreditation milestones — one for our new School of Engineering, which will launch this coming fall and the other for the Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing, which will also launch its Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program this August. It also marked my first year as your president. My wife, Kathy, and I find it difficult to put into words the gratitude we have for the Campbell community for making us feel loved, welcomed and wanted in our short time here. We’ve met thousands of proud Camels who have an enormous amount of love, loyalty and support for this school. So many have told me about how Campbell has changed their lives, and I tell them it has changed our lives as well. It is an exciting time to be your president. Campbell’s health science campus and programs are gaining recognition and respect throughout the state and the region, and the addition of our nursing program and the Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences only add to that. The School of Engineering will bring in a new kind of student to Campbell, and the career opportunities for those students post-graduation are abundant. This Annual Report serves as a notice of what’s to come for Campbell University. It also highlights the present — from record enrollment for the Class of 2019 to receiving the largest humanities-oriented grant in our school’s history — and the past — recognizing Campbell traditions and those who have helped make our thriving university what it is today. As I said in my Installation Ceremony back in April, I recognize that new presidents at Campbell come along about as often as Haley’s Comet passes through our solar system. I have great reverence for this position and the responsibilities that come with it. I am proud of what we’ve accomplished this past academic year, but more importantly, I am excited about our future. Campbell is a thriving university village in a dynamic and changing rural setting, located in the fourth-fastest growing metropolitan area of the United States with connections around the world. And what a great place it is.
J. Bradley Creed President

“School was the greatest opportunity in the world. Here [students] become educated men and women, become leaders, but most of all it was their chance to improve themselves, to open the door to a new world.” – J.A. Campbell, Founding President, Campbell University
Our Story | Campbell University Campbell University responds to needs. We opened our doors in 1887 when North Carolina needed more primary schools. We opened our law school in 1976 when North Carolina needed more lawyers in rural areas. And we opened our pharmacy school in 1986 when North Carolina needed more community pharmacists. We continue this tradition of creating and expanding opportunities today. We have evolved from a boarding school to a comprehensive university that stands as an educational leader in pharmacy, law, divinity, business, education, and the sciences and liberal arts. In recent years, we have leveraged these historical strengths and our location in the prestigious Research Triangle Region to extend our mission and realize
unprecedented growth. Over the last five years, we started degree programs in physician assistant, physical therapy, biomedical sciences, finance, homeland security, and public health. We opened the first medical school in North Carolina in 35 years. We founded the School of Nursing. And in August 2016, we will open the School of Engineering. Such developments have led to record enrollment and elevated our reputation on a regional and national level. More importantly, we are better able to meet the state’s changing needs and prepare our students for purposeful lives and meaningful service. Now we enter the next chapter of our history, poised to broaden our reach further.
CAROLINA BORN
Of the undergraduates making up the Class of 2019, 1,160 hailed from North Carolina — the largest entering cohort of North Carolinians at a private school in the state. Campbell has enrolled more North Carolinians than any of the 36 private colleges and universities in the state over the past five years.

2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 5
CAMPBELL’S 5TH PRESIDENT
Campbell University celebrated its fifth president in 128 years on April 8, with a day-long installation ceremony. Following the morning’s formal installation, President J. Bradley Creed and his wife, Kathy, took a ride through a tunnel of students stretching from the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center to the Academic Circle.
“A Campbell education is not a transaction. It is a transformational learning experience that changes lives. That transformation is not easy. Change is difficult for people, and it’s sometimes trying for a university. Change can be painful. The crucible for growth is challenge and difficulty. Progress is simply not possible without it.” — Excerpt from speech by J. Bradley Creed at his April 8 Installation Ceremony
President Creed
Celebrates Campbell as ‘place of opportunities’ Campbell officially inaugurated J. Bradley Creed during a ceremony April 8 at the John W. Pope Jr. Convocation Center that celebrated Campbell as “A Place of Opportunities.” “Campbell gives us the opportunity to make a living, to make a life — more importantly to make a difference through service to others,” Creed said in his inaugural address before about 1,300 Campbell students, faculty, staff, alumni, friends and delegates from schools around the nation. “Service is at the heart of our mission as a Christian university. Your major, your profession, your discipline, your life can contribute to the common good of society ... “We have the opportunity to change the world — one course, one program, one project, one student at a time.”
Creed is just the fifth president to serve Campbell in its 129-year history. After the ceremony, Creed and his wife, Kathy, were greeted by an outdoor “human tunnel” that more than 300 students formed. The Creeds passed through the tunnel on a golf cart from the Pope Convocation Center through the Academic Circle to the Butler Chapel, where they received guests. Along the way, the students cheered them on. An accomplished leader of mission-driven institutions and a scholar and historian of religion, Creed began his duties as Campbell’s fifth president July 1, 2015. Previously, Creed was the provost, executive vice president, and professor of religion at Samford University, a private Christian university in Birmingham, Alabama.
WELL TRAVELED
President Creed logged nearly 6,000 round-trip miles during his inaugural year speaking tour, which included stops in North Carolina, Virginia and California. The tour allowed alumni, students and friends to meet Creed and present questions during candid Q&A sessions.
8 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
YEAR ONE | In J. Bradley Creed’s first year as president, Campbell received its largest humanitiesrelated grant in university history ($593,000 from Lilly Endowment Inc. to establish a youth theology institute); received approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to offer a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree (BSE) and enroll its charter class in August 2016; dedicated the state-of-the-art First Citizens Wealth Management Center in the Campbell Business School; received $8 million to establish The G. Eugene Boyce Center of Advocacy at Campbell Law; hosted the 2016 Big South Men’s Basketball Championship March 3-6; and announced Campbell Law will open in Fall 2016 a fourth service-focused clinic to its roster with the addition of the Campbell Law Community Clinic.
KATHY CREED
FIRST LADY, CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
Kathy Creed, wife of Campbell President J. Bradley Creed, has enjoyed several roles in public and private school education in her career, including teacher, speech and hearing therapist, school-wide testing coordinator, career ladder liaison, middle school assistant principal, elementary school principal, high school counselor, university student teacher supervisor and teacher in an adult leadership academy. A native of Jacksonville, Texas, Kathy holds a bachelor of science degree in education, with certification in speech and hearing therapy and elementary education from Baylor University; and a master’s of education with midmanagement administrator certification from the University of North Texas. She has done post graduate study in counseling at Baylor. In February of this year, she was the keynote speaker for the School of Education’s commissioning ceremony, an event that recognized 71 seniors. She encouraged the students to serve their communities and God using the gifts He gave them. Her two gifts, she said, are faith and teaching. She asked the students to seek to serve and to give. “There is a world of people out there in every community wanting and needing something that only you can give.”
2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 9
“He’s gotten to know as many names as he can — and that approachability, for a school our size, that’s important. That’s why we’re here today. Dr. Creed’s the perfect fit for Campbell.” — Debora Jodrey, junior

I look forward to all the great changes coming to Campbell under your leadership. #CongratsDrCreed @campbelledu
“During his short time with us, Dr. Creed has already shown us his overwhelming care and support for the students. He has also already shown us a glimpse of what Campbell will be like under his leadership, and that future is going to be great.”
‘Why We’re Here’
Campbell community warms up to president Approachable. It’s a quality that may not rank at the top of the list of important attributes for a university president, but when you asked those in attendance at his April 8 installation ceremony, it’s the one attribute of President J. Bradley Creed that earned a mention every time. Every. Time. His approachability is the reason more than 1,300 people were on hand for the historic event. It’s the reason his friends and former colleagues traveled from Texas, Alabama and points in between to witness and share in his important day. It’s the reason the student section in the John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center was overflowing and why the student tunnel to cheer on the Creed family post-installation stretched from the camel statue to the Academic Circle. It’s the reason the receiving line in Butler Chapel to congratulate Creed and his wife, Kathy, lasted a full two hours.
— Nicholas Hudson, Student Government Association president
The success of the installation ceremony of only the fifth president in the university’s 129-year history was the result of the relationships Creed built with the Campbell community in a short time — less than a year since his first day on July 1, 2015. “Campbell’s learned in 10 months what I’ve known for years,” said Mike Hawthorne, a longtime friend who traveled from Birmingham, Alabama, with three other “runnin’ buddies” from Creed’s marathon days at Samford University. “He’s approachable. Personable. A great story-teller. A sharp-wit. He loves his family. And he has a real strength of purpose. I was moved by today. Brought to tears. Everything Brad has told us about Campbell — we saw firsthand today. I’m very impressed.”
RUNNING MAN
J. Bradley Creed has run 40 road races — including marathons and half marathons — over the last 10 years in nine states and provinces. At Campbell, he’s taken part in multiple 5K races and the Rock ’N Roll Half-Marathon in Raleigh.
2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 11
CLASS OF 2019 12 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
The 2015-16 academic year began with another record first-year class at Campbell. The incoming class consisted of nearly 1,400 students,REPORT including 13 2015-16 UNIVERSITY more than 1,000 freshmen, making up the Class of 2019.
RACHEL DAVIS CLASS OF 2019
Freshman Rachel Davis chose Campbell for a number of reasons — academics, Christian background, welcoming atmosphere and its size, to name a few. Most of all, she sees Campbell as one big family. “I know those who work there will always go the extra mile for the students and really want them to feel welcomed at the school. It has a small town feel, and prides itself on that atmosphere.” The English and history double major’s favorite Campbell tradition was her first — her freshman medallion ceremony in August. “It’s a great start to my college experience [that] really emphasizes the importance of the next four years. It meant I am officially a college freshman.”
New Camels
Class of 2019 largest in school’s history Campbell opened the 2015-16 academic year with just under 1,400 undergraduate students — the largest incoming group in the university’s 128-year history. It marked the third year in a row that Campbell began an academic year setting an enrollment record for new students. Of the incoming Class of 2019, 1,112 were first-year college students and 286 transfer students.
AUSTIN PRICE CLASS OF 2019
Austin Price wanted to attend a smaller university with a strong reputation in pharmacy education. Of course, Campbell was a name that kept coming up during his search. “Campbell is one of the most prominent and fastest-growing private schools in the nation, and I heard about its success from many of my teachers and community members,” he said. Price chose pharmacy not only because it’s a growing field, but also to make a difference in the world. “I may not be discovering a pill that saves the planet, but I will be able to take my knowledge back to my small community and make a positive impact.”
14 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
Their first day of classes coincided with the start of the first full academic year under new president J. Bradley Creed, who assumed the presidency in July. “A record entering class is an exciting way to start the 2015-16 school year and my first year as president,” Creed said. “Clearly the Campbell brand is strong and we are offering degree programs and an environment that is attractive
to our students and their families. Also, the Campbell campus is an ideal place where students can focus on their studies and make lifelong friends, while also being located in one of the fastest growing regions in America — the Research Triangle Region — and being just minutes from Raleigh-Durham.” Trust and wealth management major Sarah Page said she chose Campbell and her major because of the school’s reputation and the trust program’s job placement rate. “Campbell just seemed perfect,” she said. “It has so many opportunities for all the careers I was considering. Campbell will be an invaluable springboard to what is hopefully a great future. I can’t wait to see what’s in store and how Campbell can help me achieve my dreams.”
#CAMPBELL19
Of the first-year college students, their high school GPA average was 3.9, their ACT composite average 22, and their two-part SAT average 1,000. In addition, 60 percent of the freshmen class were female, and 29 percent identified as a minority group.

A spring break mission trip to Ecuador during her senior year of high school was the biggest influence in Brittany Apple’s decision to attend Campbell. There, she fell in love with a “little town in the jungle” called Misahualli and discovered how much she wanted to help the children in that community. “That trip showed me my desire to become a pediatrician, but more importantly it showed me how God wanted me to be a missionary one day.” She chose to study biology/pre-medicine at Campbell so she could become a pediatrician and help underprivileged children — keeping in line with the school’s mission to serve the underserved.
PRE-PHARMACY
Nearly 48 percent of the incoming Class of 2019 declared their intent to major in a preprofessional or health-related field, including exercise science (128 students), pre-pharmacy (170) and biology (245). Another 121 entering students were part of the pre-nursing track for Campbell’s new BSN program. Additionally, 215 students declared majors offered by the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, while the School of Education welcomed 102 new students pursuing degrees in professional education, psychology and social work.

Shelby Basham got an up-close look at Campbell during a visit during her senior year of high school. A volunteer prosecuting attorney for a local teen court program at the time, Basham was interested in Campbell’s criminal justice/ pre-law program and was able to sit in on a class taught by Professor James Martin. Basham said she’s excited about the opportunities Campbell will offer during her education here. “The availability of internships, connections and relationships are really endless,” she said. “The friendliness of faculty, staff and other students will give me excellent resources to succeed as a student as well as a person.”

Third-year medical student Erica Brotzman sews up a patient following a C-section delivery under the watchful eye of her preceptor, Dr. Connie Mulroy, 17 2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT at Southeastern Regional Medical Center in Lumberton. Brotzman and nearly 160 members of the charter class of the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine started the third year of their medical education performing rotations in hospitals throughout the state.
“If each of you touches six patients, clients or students a day for a 30-year career, you will impact 9.3 million people. That is the population of North Carolina.” — Joseph Moose (’90 PharmD), speaking to College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences graduates at spring commencement
In The Field
Med students already making an impact Campbell’s charter class of the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine entered its third year in the fall by branching out to eight hospitals throughout the state. They began their rotations — similar to internships in other fields of study — with hands-on, real-life instruction in areas such as internal medicine, family medicine, general surgery, OB/GYN, pediatrics and psychiatry. In the fall, more than 150 student doctors were spread out among hospitals in Raleigh, Fayetteville, Lillington, Cary, Dunn and other areas, many of them underserved medically. About 40 students were sent to Lumberton to work at Southeastern Regional Medical Center, which in August celebrated the opening of a 10,000-square-foot medical education wing to house Campbell residents and student doctors. Campbell’s presence in one of the poorest counties in North Carolina had an instant
impact, according to Southeastern Health CEO and President Joann Anderson. “You walk down the hallways, and you feel it. The energy level has been turned up,” Anderson said. “Our footprint is no longer the same. Our peer group is no longer the same.” Rajbir Singh was one of five students featured in Campbell Magazine last fall during their first week of rotations in Lumberton. During his cardiothoracic surgery rotation, Singh found himself scrubbing in for surgeries, stitching up living, breathing patients and working side-by-side with veteran doctors and physician assistants. “But being here, seeing these patients ... seeing what it all means. It’s different. I’m different,” Singh said. “I don’t want to be just an OK physician. I want to be a great physician. This is the start of that for me.”
SERVING ABROAD
An interprofessional team of 28 faculty and students spent their spring break providing medical care in Honduras. The team consisted of seven medical, two physical therapy, two PAs and 11 student pharmacists, in addition to six professors and professional volunteers.

Nursing
BSN program launches in fall 2016 The Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing was approved for initial accreditation of its baccalaureate degree program in nursing by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in May — a significant step in the multi-year process of becoming a fully accredited nursing program. The program received initial approval status from the North Carolina Board of Nursing in 2014 and approval from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges in 2014,
which allowed Campbell to enroll students in pre-nursing seminar classes in the fall of 2014. Both of these successes enabled the university to move forward with the accrediting process through the CCNE. This fall, the inaugural cohort of BSN students will have settled into the brand new Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences, a 72,000 square-foot facility which opened for physical therapy students in the spring.
RAHUL DESAI
CRITICAL CARE MEDICINE PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT
Physician assistant graduate Rahul Desai was lead organizer of a health fair for fourth- and fifth-grade students at nearby Buies Creek Elementary. Upon graduation, he earned the PA Excellence in Professionalism Award. But what Desai got most from his Campbell experience was advice from a professor — the best way to care for a patient is to care for a patient. “When you’re in a career such as medicine, your instinct is to serve and care for others,” he says. “The volunteering and community service we took part in at Campbell instilled this in us. In addition to your career, you’re giving back to the community.”
NEW HOME | (Above) Students in Campbell’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program were the first to move into Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences in the spring. The 72,000-square-foot facility will welcome students in Campbell’s new nursing program and physician assistant students in the fall. (Below) Campbell graduated its third class of physician assistants in December. The program began in the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences in fall 2011.
CHERIE DICKSON
THIRD-YEAR MED SCHOOL STUDENT
Not long ago, Cherie Dickson wanted to be a politician. She could see herself as a senator or representative, and she marked political science as her major entering her freshman year of college. Medicine, she says, was the farthest thing from her mind. In fact, the sight of blood made her queasy. “I had to leave biology class when you just mentioned the word ‘blood,’” she recalls. “I started enjoying those classes later in high school, and I can’t tell you what happened. I went from the kid who never wanted to be a doctor to one day telling my mom in the car that I was ready to change majors and go for it.”

Engineering dean expert on STEM diversity Founding Engineering Dean Jenna P. Carpenter attended the national Engineering Deans Institute in San Francisco in March. The annual meeting provides a venue for engineering deans from across the nation to discuss common issues, new trends and best practices. Carpenter was invited to serve on a panel focused on “Innovation in Diversity and Inclusion in Engineering Education.” She led off the session and talked about the researchbased strategies that Campbell’s new school has employed to recruit a more diverse student and faculty population. “The research is clear,” Carpenter said. “Diversity is your key to innovation and

Every time.” Carpenter is a national voice for women looking to enter STEM fields and a leading expert on the biases young women face in their STEM education and in the workforce. The vice president of the Mathematical Association of America and chair of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenge Scholars Program, Carpenter was named by Dreambox Learning as one of 10 “Women in STEM who Rock” in 2015, joining celebrities like Chelsea Clinton, actresses Mayim Bialik and Danica McKellar, and Yahoo! CEO Marissa Meyer.
ROBOTICS | Months before its first classes, Campbell Engineering attached its named to one of the world’s largest robotics competitions — the 25th annual international FIRST Robotics Competition, which includes nearly 3,000 teams and roughly 73,000 students and 17,500 mentors from 20 countries. The group — roughly a dozen high school students from nearby Overhills and Harnett Central schools — was led by Assistant Professor of Engineering Lynn Albers. Campbell held a FIRST Robotics competition at the Pope Convocation Center in April, hosting dozens of groups from high schools around the state.
LYNN ALBERS
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR OF ENGINEERING
As a third-grader tasked with creating a working greenhouse, Lynn Albers rolled up her sleeves and washed out her veggie cans, painted them black and built her greenhouse using cardboard and plastic wrap. “It’s one of the few things I remember from elementary school — the science of it all, using solar energy to heat our greenhouse and grow plants,” she says. “And it worked. I was hooked.” Another seed was planted that year. Albers would go on to earn degrees from MIT and Manhattan College before earning her Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from N.C. State in 2014. Today, she’s among the first faculty in the School of Engineering.

EMPLOYABILITY
The unemployment rate for engineers is just 2 percent. Overall employment growth for engineers will increase by 11 percent by 2018. More than half of engineers work in medicine, law, finance, and consulting.
FILL A NEED
About 50 to 80 percent of job growth in the U.S. is dependent on scientists and engineers, but we aren’t producing enough to meet workforce needs. We need a diverse range of students to pursue engineering. Diversity drives innovation and success. Engineering drives our national economy and maintains our competitive edge.

ENGINEERING MAJOR
Kristen Powell dreams of becoming an orthopedic surgeon, so there was only one obvious choice for a major when she chose Campbell — engineering. She definitely wouldn’t be the first to go that route — a degree in mechanical engineering can be invaluable for analytics in clinical medicine. For Powell, knowing how machines work will give her a better understanding of how the bones in a human body move and function. “Not only will it give me an understanding of the body and motion, but maybe one day I will come up with better ways to replace a shoulder or an elbow,” says Powell. “If I can help design something using machines and my engineering education, I can contribute to the medical field.” 2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 23

New Home
Health programs move in to state-of-the-art facility The landscape heading east on U.S. 421 toward Dunn has changed dramatically over the past decade. With the construction of Barker-Lane Stadium in 2007 and the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences in 2013, the scenery has improved from forgotten fields to a Health Science Campus and athletics complex that match the forward momentum of Campbell. The newest addition, the Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences, solidifies the progression of the university as a leader in healthcare education. Ground broke on the $22 million building in March 2015 and officially opened its doors to students, faculty and staff this spring. Described by Vice President for Business and Treasurer Jim Roberts, the state-of-the-art facility is designed “to be a place to learn, to share, to discover and to accomplish great things.”
Designed to complement the 3-year-old medical building, the 72,000-square-foot nursing building is built with today’s students in mind. Inside the classrooms, students find that the rows of desks of years past have been traded in for round tables that foster collaborative learning and team building. Projection screens have been replaced by groups of monitors that can display multiple types of media at once. Skills labs include state-of-the-art hospital beds and accompanying machinery. “The opportunity to create a culture of inclusivity, trust, and respect drove us to thoughtfully consider the interventions for this reconstruction,” said Nancy Duffy, director of the Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing. “Our judgment is that students will thrive in an environment that promotes open discussion and allows for errors and growth from mistakes.”

The duo spent a good portion of the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championship’s longest race at the front of the pack, eating up several minutes of valuable ESPN television time and sparking conversation about that “small school in Buies Creek” among the commentators. The moment marked an apex for Campbell University’s track and field program, one that’s been around for over a century. Running alongside the nation’s best from schools like LSU, UCLA, Syracuse and Alabama, Lawrence Kipkoech and Amon Terer would finish ninth and 11th respectively out of 24 runners in the 10,000-meter race, earning second-team All-American honors on the University of Oregon’s hallowed Hayward Field. A few nights later, they would hit the track again for the
5,000-meter race, earning honorable mention All-American accolades in that race. It was also a pinnacle moment for head track coach Michael Kelly, who logged thousands of miles recruiting Kipkoech, Terer and other athletes from Eldoret, Kenya — considered the heart of the phenomenon that in Kenyan running. “I took a chance going over there, but I’m glad I did,” said Kelly, who’ll enter his fifth season at Campbell in the fall. “I’ve gotten to know Lawrence and Amon so well, that I find myself taking for granted just how talented they are. Watching them in Eugene, [Oregon], I was proud. Extremely proud.” This spring, Kipkoech was named the 2015-16 Male Runner of the Year. He is now a two-time recipient of this award. Both Kipkoech and Terer were members of Campbell’s Big South Championship team in cross country last fall.

HOT ON INSTAGRAM | Senior golfer Tahnia Ravnjak made GoPro’s “Photo of the Day” for this shot during a training session for her final season as a Camel. Ravnjak became just the 12th player in Big South women’s golf history to earn all-conference honors four times and one of four players in Campbell history to participate in the NCAA regionals four times.
GREG MILHOUSE NEW YORK GIANTS
The Garner native was picked by many to go in the sixth or seventh round of the NFL Draft, which also would have been a first for Campbell’s 8-year-old football program. But any disappointment of not getting his name called was erased when the two-time All-Pioneer Football league lineman received a call from the New York Giants shortly after the final round. “I’m just excited. It’s a dream come true,” said Milhouse, who transferred to Campbell from Appalachian State before his junior year. “I’m ready to get to work and prove myself now. I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder [not getting drafted], and I’m just ready to get to work.”
DANNY DILLON ARIZONA CARDINALS
Danny Dillon knew his chances of getting drafted were slim — only one long snapper went in this year’s draft out of 253 selections. But Dillon knew he was wanted. The Arizona Cardinals had been heavily scouting the four-year starter from Sanford after the retirement of their longtime snapper Mike Leach.
OUTDOOR WRESTLING | Campbell wrestling held its first outdoor scrimmage as an appetizer for the football game on Homecoming Day in October. The Orange/Gray Wrestle-Off — held on a mat in front of the Pope Convocation Center — was a preview for fans to watch the team get prepared for that Sunday’s match. The last two matches featured the Finnish Heino brothers. Wrestling at 184 pounds was Ville Heino, a Preseason SoCon All-Conference team member and 2015 World Wrestling Championship competitor. Heavyweight Jere Heino was a 2015 Junior World Championship participant.
“I had been talking to them for couple of months already,” Dillon told the Fayetteville Observer. “They had even come to Campbell to watch me work out for them. But it was still surreal when the call came. It was just such a big relief because it was such a long wait.”
2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 31
UNDERDOGS | Campbell’s volleyball squad advanced to the Big South Championship game for the first time in nearly 30 years. Mary Crema and Katelyn Layden earned All-Tournament honors for the Camels, who entered the tournament as a No. 7-seed underdog. “There are eight teams in the conference who would have died to be in the position that we were and there is no going back,” head coach Greg Goral said. “Hopefully, this is a step forward for this program for the years to come.”
LOREN DAY LACROSSE
Campbell University was never meant to be a long-term stop for Loren Day. A star athlete from southern Maryland — the hotbed of high school lacrosse — Day was originally recruited to play for the Naval Academy’s nationally-ranked program before a serious knee injury put her collegiate future in doubt. She “settled” for Campbell, a new program willing to take a risk on a talent with a cracked femur. What Day didn’t expect to find in Buies Creek, North Carolina, was a home. The junior is Campbell’s all-time leading scorer with 86 points (67 goals, 19 assists), and she set the school’s all-time single season mark this year with 56 goals.
MATT PARRISH BASEBALL
Matt Parrish’s senior season at Campbell was heavy with accolades. He was the 2016 recipient of the Senior CLASS Award for his excellence in four areas — community, classroom, character and competition. He was also the first Campbell student-athlete ever to earn Academic All-America status three times. Parrish batted .371 with 41 RBI and 36 runs scored during his senior season. He graduated from Campbell in May with honors, earning a degree in mathematics, carrying a 3.77 GPA. “There is no one that epitomizes the student-athlete more than Matt Parrish,” said Campbell head coach Justin Haire. 32 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY
SURPRISE RUN | Campbell’s softball team advanced to the Big South Tournament championship game for the first time since 1993 when it knocked off Radford, 6-3. It was the team’s first conference championship berth since 2009 when the Camels played in the A-Sun Conference.”
Good bye, Wanda
Watkins steps down after 35 years as coach Wanda Watkins, a two-time graduate of Campbell University, retired this year after 35 seasons as head coach of Campbell’s women’s basketball program. Just the 10th Division I women’s basketball coach in NCAA history to coach 30 or more seasons at the same institution, she is also one of the winningest coaches in NCAA history. She coached the Lady Camels to 23 winning seasons and became just the 27th active coach to surpass 500 career wins in 2013. In addition, 95 percent of those who played for her graduated. “It is really difficult to put into words the joy the past 35 years of coaching have brought to my life,” Watkins said in her retirement announcement. “I want to thank Campbell for the wonderful opportunity to serve as women’s basketball coach, a job I truly loved.” Watkins led her teams on the court to
conference championship games on 10 occasions, winning the 1989 Big South and 2000 Atlantic Sun Conference tournament titles. In addition, Campbell was the 1988 (cochampion) and 1991 Big South regular season champion, as well as the 2001 A-Sun regular season champion. Her 2000 team defeated Georgia State in the championship game and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history. That Lady Camel squad, which lost to Duke in the Big Dance, posted a 22-9 record.
“She has made a transformational difference in the lives of these hundreds of studentathletes over the last 35 years.” — Bob Roller, athletics director, on longtime women’s head basketball coach Wanda Watkins, who announced her retirement this spring
A Campbell alumna who earned her undergraduate and graduate degrees in 1979 and 1981, Watkins has assumed an administrative position at Campbell and serves as a liaison on special projects for the athletic director’s office and the president’s office. She also serves as a mentor for coaches among the university’s 21 NCAA Division I sports.
BIG YEAR
Women’s soccer advanced to the Big South Conference title game for the first time since 2011 this year after finishing the season with a 14-7 record. Ashley Clark, Payton Ormsby and Murita Storey were named to the 2015 NCCSIA All-State Women’s Soccer Teams, and Clark was named the Big South Attacking Player of the Year.

Hoops Haven
Nation’s oldest basketball camp turns 60 Many North Carolinians joke that basketball is a religion in this state. The rest agree, only they aren’t joking. Its chapels are found in Chapel Hill and Durham. Raleigh and Winston-Salem. Greensboro and Charlotte. Its preachers are men like Dean and Roy. Coach K and Coach Kay. The Gray Fox and Jimmy V. Hidden away among the many pages in the Basketball Bible of the Old North State is the story of a basketball camp that began in a tiny rural town at a school considered a David to the sport’s Goliaths. Every June, for a span of about 30 years beginning in 1956, Campbell College and its unimpressive Carter Gymnasium were the center of the basketball universe. The brainchild of the late coach Fred McCall, the nation’s first summer camp dedicated to roundball fundamentals had humble beginnings,
attracting about 150 kids in its first year. At its peak, Campbell Basketball School was a threeweek adventure that brought in more than 2,000 kids, in addition to the biggest names the sport had to offer. John Wooden, the greatest coach of all time.“Pistol Pete” Maravich, the greatest showman of all time. Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time. The list goes on. You could build an impressive Hall of Fame using it alone. Generations of young men and women who’d go on to become professional athletes or coaches — as well as lawyers, doctors, writers and teachers — sweated through the lessons in cramped un-air conditioned gyms and came away not only better ball players, but better people, too.

SARAH SWAIN
ASSISTANT VICE PRESIDENT OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT
Sarah Swain’s (’05) recalls Move-In Day during her freshman year as her favorite memory as a student. “It was raining, I was moving into Bryan 12-3, and that day marked a lot of firsts for me. I met my roommate, I was left alone for the first time, and I experienced that independence … excited for the adventure. I loved every minute of it.” Swain came back to Campbell in 2013 to become director of annual giving, where she spearheaded efforts to introduce two new traditions — Founders Week and TAG Day. In January, she became assistant vice president for alumni engagement, the university’s liaison to more than 45,000 alumni around the world.
POPULAR FOUNDER
A 7-foot bronze statue bearing J.A. Campbell’s likeness was unveiled in 2015, he launched his own Twitter account the same year, and students have impersonated him and donned his mustache during the last two Founders Week celebrations. CLASS RINGS | A recent and now popular tradition each Homecoming is the Campbell Ring ceremony. The ring includes degree abbreviations, the university seal and depictions of three iconic campus landmarks — Kivett Hall, D. Rich and Butler Chapel’s Dinah Gore Tower. Orange and black stones represent Campbell’s official colors. Students who have completed at least 64 credit hours are eligible to purchase their ring.

BERT WALLACE ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR OF THEATRE
In 2012, Professor E. Bert Wallace helped organize the Paul Green Festival in Lillington, an event celebrating Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paul Green, a 1914 graduate of Buies Creek Academy. It was then when he discovered one of Green’s two novels, This Body The Earth, an epic story of North Carolina tenant farmers struggling to survive in the early 20th Century. This spring, Wallace honored Green’s legacy with his stage adaptation of Green’s novel, performed by Campbell students who not only got a lesson in dramatic arts, but a history lesson of their school and the community. 2015-16 UNIVERSITY REPORT 37
