2017 University Report

Leading with purpose

n Jan. 5, 1887, James Archibald Campbell, a 26-yearold Baptist minister, welcomed 16 students to a small church in Buies Creek, North Carolina, for the first day of classes for the school he founded: Buies Creek Academy. By the end of the first term, there were 92 students. Since then, Buies Creek Academy has evolved to become Campbell Junior College (1926), Campbell College (1961) and Campbell University (1979). Throughout these transformations, the University has remained true to its founding principles to address the most pressing needs of North Carolina and to educate men and women for Christian service around the world.

The private university of choice in North Carolina • Enrolls more North Carolinians than any other private university in the state and nation • Only private university in North Carolina with degree programs in law, pharmacy, and medicine • 1 of only 3 private universities in North Carolina to achieve highest accreditation level • 1 of the most academically diverse universities in North Carolina with 150+ programs

illiam Shakespeare wrote it back in 1594: “Talkers are no good doers. Be assured, we come to use our hands and not our tongues.” Benjamin Franklin would later coin the phrase, “Well done is better than well said.” Today, the phrase has been shaped into, “If you’re going to talk the talk, you’d better walk the walk.” When Campbell University launched the results of our rebranding initiative back in January, we included an ambitious tagline: Leading with Purpose. It wasn’t just some hollow phrase we grabbed out of thin air because we thought it sounded nice or looked pretty on marketing materials. Instead, it’s a statement that clearly and confidently describes our mission and mindset at Campbell University. We are a student body, an administration, a faculty, a staff, an alumni base, a community and an institution of higher learning the is fueled by a higher calling, providing a transformational learning experience that prepares students for servant leadership and equips them with skills and habits to make a difference in the lives of others. We are the private university of choice in North Carolina, enrolling and graduating more North Carolinians each year than any other private institution. We’re the only private school in the state that offers degrees in law, medicine and pharmacy. And we are one of only three private universities in the state to achieve the highest accreditation level, as we now offer more than 150 academic degrees, majors and tracks. This list goes on: We launched the nation’s first trust and wealth management program in 1967, the first law school in North Carolina in 35 years in 1976, the first pharmacy school in the U.S. in 40 years in 1976, the state’s only undergraduate program in homeland security in 2013, and the state’s first medical school in 35 years in 2013. And as you’ll see in this University Report, we continue to “walk the walk” with new engineering and nursing programs, curriculums designed to help others and serve the underserved and students and graduates who are making a difference outside of our campus. We no longer want to be known as the “hidden gem” or “best-kept secret” of North Carolina. We want people across the state, region, nation and world to know the Campbell name. To lead is to serve.

School of Engineering launches with goal of better diversity in STEM education

hen Campbell chose Jenna Carpenter as the founding dean of its School of Engineering, the University chose a national voice for women in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education and careers and a leading expert on the biases women face in the classroom and workforce. When the school launched this fall with its first group of engineering majors, the percentage of young women in that group was above the national average. This spring, the school achieved the highest percentage of female engineering faculty in the nation with 83 percent of its faculty and 100 percent of its administrative staff being women. Carpenter has built a staff of top faculty with degrees from MIT, Duke, Purdue and Penn State, to name a few. “We are building a very innovative engineering program that emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning, professional development training

and service and professional skills,” Carpenter said. “And we have developed innovative teaching and learning spaces. All of these things have helped us attract top faculty, including those who are likely to reach out to large numbers of women and other underrepresented groups.” Although women make up about half of the working population in the U.S., they account for only 26 percent of STEM workers. Only 13 percent of the nation’s engineers are women — and the current percentage of women in computer professions (27 percent) has actually fallen since the 1990s. The School of Engineering launched in August with 96 students enrolled in its inaugural class. Only the second engineering school at a private university in North Carolina, Campbell Engineering offers an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science in General Engineering degree with concentrations in mechanical engineering and chemical/ pharmaceutical engineering.

Although they make up about half of the working population, women in the U.S. account for only 26 percent of STEM workers, according to a 2011 report by the Census Bureau. 9

School of Medicine’s new opioid curriculum tackles epidemic killing thousands of Americans

he Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine launched its Opioid Abuse and Drug Abuse Curriculum in January in response to the nation’s epidemic that kills an average of 78 Americans each day. North Carolina is home to four of the Top 20 cities in the United States for highest rate of opioid abuse — No. 1 Wilmington, No. 5 Hickory, No. 12 Jacksonville and No. 18 Fayetteville — according to a 2016 study by Castlight Health Inc., a nonprofit health care information company. In 2015 alone, prescription opioids like hydrocodone (used by doctors to treat pain) and illicit drugs like heroin and illegally manufactured pills claimed more than 1,200 lives in North Carolina — a 400-percent increase from 15 years earlier. A source of the problem is education. A 2016 survey by the National Safety Council revealed that 99 percent of the nation’s doctors prescribe highly

addictive painkillers to their patients for longer than the three-day period recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly a fourth of those doctors say they routinely prescribe at least a month’s worth of opioids. That’s more than enough time for addiction to grab hold. Under the direction of Dr. Jim Powers, associate dean for clinical integration and professor of emergency medicine, Campbell Med’s opioid curriculum is designed to educate the next generation of physicians on both the dangers and benefits of opioids and alternative treatments for pain management. The curriculum provides “practical guidance in screening pain patients for substance abuse disorder” and will help future doctors identify when patients are abusing their medications. “Unless we’re training physicians who understand that opioid dependence is very real and how a patient goes down

Of the Top 20 cities in the U.S. for opioid abuse, North Carolina is home to four of them — Wilmington, Fayetteville, Jacksonville and Hickory. 10

Recent graduate has become an advocate for lower-income girls in the Middle East

bby Jernigan’s passion for homeschooling and mentoring young women took her to the other side of the world shortly after graduating from Campbell with a degree in psychology in 2016. She spent her first year in the “real world” as a volunteer homeschool teacher for the daughters of an American missionary family, and her “free time” was spent teaching an adult conversational English course and leading an after-school program for teenage girls. The latter duty provided at-risk teens from lower-income backgrounds a chance to learn English, character building and life skills. “We provided a safe environment for these girls to feel loved and heard, empowered to learn and encouraged to grow,” said Jernigan, who came to Campbell in 2013 as a “quiet and timid” sophomore transfer student who quickly came out of her shell thanks to programs like Campus Ministry and several community service projects.

She said her courage grew at Campbell, and she learned to be focused on others and “serve with joy.” And as a psychology major, Jernigan grew to develop empathy for those who are different. All of this served her well in the Middle East. “The longer I am here, the more this area and its people capture my heart,” Jernigan said. “The Arab people are immensely hospitable and abundantly kind. I hope I am able to accurately convey that when I return [home] and attempt to dispel some of the negative assumptions and attitudes toward Arab world. [I want to] provide more insight and understanding about Arab Muslims.” She added, “As it says in the book of First Peter, ‘Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”

More than 450 Campbell students have taken part in Study Abroad programs in more than 50 countries since 2005. 13

New School of Nursing grew out of state and region’s need for health care professionals

he fall semester began with the launch of the Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing, and the first day of classes for the inaugural class of 46 students marked what President J. Bradley Creed called a “historic moment for Campbell University.” “This program grew out of the state’s and region’s need for health professionals,” he said. “It will help advance Campbell’s mission to prepare servant leaders who make an immediate impact in the communities where they live.” The charter class began their journeys in the newly opened Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences, the second building on Campbell’s Health Sciences Campus. The 72,000-square-foot, stateof-the-art teaching facility is designed to be a space for collaborative learning and team building while allowing students to experience the challenges and rewards of healthcare in a psychologically-safe environment.

Creed talked about the vision and the mission of the program at the dedication for Smith Hall in September. “It’s not just a vision for Campbell University to be a great university or to have robust health sciences programs,” said Creed. “It’s not a vision to have a beautiful building or programs in nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, or public health. It’s a compelling vision to alleviate suffering, to make human life better, to wipe tears that are filled with grief. It is a vision for human flourishing and to contribute to the common good. That is why Campbell University is here.” Unlike most majors within a university system, Campbell Nursing does not enroll students until they are juniors or have met all the program requirements and fulfilled all program prerequisites. Students must apply for admission to the upper-level division coursework — a process that includes a competitive and holistic application, in addition to an

Service-Oriented ROTC program adds MacArthur Award to long list of national accolades

n the late 1960s, the United States was a country divided over the Vietnam War, and as result, several American universities and colleges chose to dissolve their ROTC programs out of fear of disruption between civilian and military students. The late Norman A. Wiggins, Campbell’s third president, thought differently. Campbell’s proximity to the nation’s largest Army base at Fort Bragg coupled with Wiggins’ belief that a larger military presence would inspire patriotism and drive in his students led the president to pursue the launch of a new ROTC unit at Campbell. On Jan. 28, 1971, Campbell’s unit was made official, and Campbell became the first college in the Southeast to offer a major in military science. For nearly 50 years, Campbell’s has grown into one of the top ROTC programs in the nation. The reputation

was validated once again in 2016 when Campbell was one of eight universities in the nation to receive the MacArthur Award — its first since 2009 — honoring the program for its cadet GPA, performance in summer training, ranking on the national Order of Merit List, recruiting and retention. New graduate and 2nd Lt. Jacob Knox was named one of the top Army Reserve cadets in the country — ranking 10th nationally out of 5,508 seniors on the Order of Merit list. The criteria on this list includes factors like GPA, performances on the Army Physical Fitness Test, athletic participation while enrolled in college and performance during college ROTC training. Knox also received Campbell’s Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award at Spring Commencement for his academic and leadership accolades during his four years at Campbell.

Campbell’s ROTC program commissions more officers in the U.S. Army each year than any other civilian school in the nation. 17

Campbell graduates first class of medical doctors, many of whom will practice in underserved regions

n a milestone day in the 130year history of Campbell University, 150 members of the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine’s inaugural class became medical doctors — the first Campbellproduced medical doctors and the first osteopathic physicians educated in North Carolina. The charter class began their residencies in 32 states across the nation this summer. Thirty-five percent of the class will practice in the Southeastern portion of the United States in medically underserved regions or regions currently facing a physician shortage. The Association of American Medical Colleges estimates the U.S. will face a shortage of more than 90,000 physicians by 2020 — a number that could grow to more than 130,000 by 2025. That shortfall will have a greater impact on underserved areas, or the 20 percent of Americans who live in rural or inner-city

locations deemed “health professional shortage areas.” Katy Brewer Key, who is a descendant of Harnett County’s first-ever physician in the late 1800s (her great-great uncle), said both her legacy and her experiences at Campbell influenced her to choose family medicine with her residency at Cabarrus Family Medicine Residency Program in Concord, North Carolina. It was important for Key, she said, to practice in-state and eventually move on to a more rural area in need of family physicians. “With the shortage of family physicians in our state and in keeping with this school’s mission, I will continue to learn my trade here and intend on serving North Carolina for the length of my career,” Key said. “It is an honor to become a physician and, like my uncle, consider it a privilege to practice at home.”

The School of Osteopathic Medicine had the highest percentage of 2017 graduates match into family medicine residencies in the state this year, according to the N.C. Academy of Family Physicians. 18

Community-Minded New Campus Kitchen initiative aims to serve those with limited access to healthy food

very other Thursday afternoon inside the Five N Two Food Pantry’s kitchen in Lillington, you can hear the clanging of pots and pans and the chatter of young men and women wearing hairnets and matching CKCU shirts. This year, Campbell University became the 56th school in the U.S. to join the Campus Kitchen Project’s national network of kitchens that are empowering students to fight hunger and curb food waste. It is a simple concept — reclaim unused food from local campus vendors and transform it into a healthy meal for those experiencing food insecurity. Unused food is food that is approaching its expiration date, which makes it unusable for on-campus dining services; produce from local grocery stores that may be undesirable in color or have blemishes; and leftover food not sold at farms or farmer’s markets.

of the population in Harnett County, roughly 20,000 people, have limited or uncertain access to healthy food. The national average is currently around 14 percent. The idea to start the program came from a student leadership team with the Spiritual Life office after a visit to the D.C. Kitchen in 2015. The team jumped right in and secured a $5,000 grant from the national Campus Kitchens office to kickstart the Campus Kitchen at Campbell University (CKCU). The national grant added to funds from Voices Into Action, a local food access initiative, and the Ledford Missions Grant funded by an endowment at Hayes Barton Baptist Church in Raleigh. In the last academic year, Campus Kitchens across the country recovered more than 1.3 million pounds of wasted food and served nearly 350,000 meals.

Community-Minded Campbell and the Buies Creek community have embraced (temporary) Minor League Baseball

ven in the world of Minor League Baseball — where rural America, ballparks built near cornfields and intimate, familiar crowds are attributes woven into the fibers of the game — Buies Creek, North Carolina is small. Yet there it was on Nov. 17, 2016, site for the kind of announcement many towns and cities would give their Main Streets for. Reid Ryan — son of Hall of Fame pitching legend Nolan Ryan and president of the Houston Astros — announced the arrival of professional baseball in a community (it’s not even technically a town) of fewer than 3,000 people. The Buies Creek Astros. A team named for the nation’s prominent space program located in a “town” that covers roughly 2.2 square miles of land. A community that now boasts more pro

teams than stoplights. Last October, the Astros officially announced it was buying a Minor League franchise in nearby Fayetteville. But before then, Ryan and David Lane, the team’s general manager, were scouting cities and towns near Fayetteville to host the team while a new ballpark was being built. Campbell University’s recently renovated Jim Perry Stadium stood out immediately. “When we first came to Campbell, we just fell in love with it,” said Ryan, whose father pitched one of his record-setting seven no-hitters against Jim Perry in 1973. “This is a world-class facility, and so we targeted it as the spot we wanted to be at. Luckily for us, we found an administration and an athletics director happy and willing to work with us.” “Just the entire relationship with

North Carolina’s private university of choice attracts its strongest academic class

ampbell enrolls more North Carolinians than any other private university in the state and nation, and the 2016-2017 academic class was the strongest incoming class academically in the school’s 130-year history. The entering cohort comprised of 898 first-year students and 258 transfer students. They had a cumulative average high school GPA of 3.9 and averaged 1030 on the two-part SAT, an increase of 22 points from the previous year. Their average on the three-part SAT improved from 1490 to 1510, and their average ACT score increased from 21.5 in 2015 to 22.5 this year. These are the highest averages of test scores for an incoming group at Campbell ever. The class was also one of the largest incoming groups in Campbell’s history. It marked the fifth year in a row that

Campbell has welcomed a class of at least 1,000 new students. “The Class of 2020 raised the bar for us in the profile of students coming to Campbell,” said Britt Davis, vice president for university advancement and senior advisor to the president. Of the new students, 78 percent were from North Carolina and 22 percent from out of state. Fifty-seven percent were female, and over 41 percent identify as a minority group. In addition to being the private university of choice in North Carolina, Campbell is one of only three private schools in the state to achieve the highest accreditation level and is the only North Carolina private school to offer degree programs in law, pharmacy and medicine.

Professor immersed himself in local history to adapt novel written by Campbell’s famous son

t’s a hot June day, and Campbell professor E. Bert Wallace is sitting under a massive oak tree, dabbing sweat from his brow and taking in his surroundings. The hum of the cicadas. The gentle breeze painting the stalks of a nearby cornfield. Sitting across from an old gothic church — its white paint peeling and fading — in rural Harnett County, Wallace is placing himself in the same scenery that inspired the area’s most famous son, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and 1914 Campbell (then Buies Creek Academy) alumnus Paul Green. He’s here to adapt Green’s epic novel “This Body The Earth” for the stage, for debut on the same campus the Green roamed over a century earlier. The church, the cornfield and those sounds — the towns of Buies Creek, Erwin and Linden — they all inspired Green’s tale of poor white tenant farmers and former slaves in the post-Reconstruction South trying to eke out an existence on unforgiving land.

Now they’re inspiring Wallace, who in 2016 successfully introduced “This Body The Earth” and Paul Green to a new generation of Campbell students. Wallace, the associate professor of theatre arts, debuted his stage adaptation of Green’s 1935 novel in a four-show run at Campbell’s Ellis Theatre. Campbell President J. Bradley Creed, who celebrated his inauguration just a week earlier, and members of the Paul Green Foundation were among the audience for opening night — a thrilling moment not only for Wallace, but his students as well. “The students involved in it — from the actors to the crew — felt a sense of ownership of this play, as they were all the first to ever put it together and perform it,” Wallace said. “They helped create and mold these characters. They shaped many of the changes I made along the way. My general sense is they not only enjoyed the process, but they really did get it. The idea of it — what Paul Green was trying to say.”

In 1912, Paul Green was an 18-year-old student at Buies Creek Academy, excelling on the debate team, president of the Philologian Society and serving as historian for his class. He also played baseball and ran track. 26
