For nearly 50 years — from the 1930s to the 80s, A.R. Burkot did it all for Campbell College and eventually Campbell University. Today, 30 years after his death, his legacy still lives on.

Campbell's decision to add social fraternities and sororities was met with criticism by some in 2012. The university's first two Greek organizations are out to prove the skeptics and the stereotypes wrong.

Campbell University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine opened its doors to a charter class of 160 students this fall, and excitement has remained high for North Carolina’s first new medical school in over 35 years. Campbell Magazine marked the historic new school and the opening of the new 96,500-square-foot Levine Hall of Medical Sciences with a 108-page special edition over the summer.
Without Dr. Jerry Wallace’s drive and determination, I think it’s a safe bet we would not be here today. The idea for the medical school came entirely from this remarkable man. The Campbell community, our county and the entire state of North Carolina needs to thank Dr. Wallace for his vision for medical school that will train doctors, physician assistants and other health care professions who will serve the medically underserved communities of our state.

I lived in Buies Creek as a child and remember Campbell. It's almost unrecognizable now. I also remember my first day of medical school — how excited and terrified I was (not unlike my first day of residency). Congrats to everyone at Campbell — that region could certainly use more doctors.
Lauren Wagstaff, DO Elmira, N.Y.
My fiance and I attended the “Accepted Students Day” orientation, and we were very impressed with the school officials, the program and the overall effort put forth to make the day special for this special group of students. I was pleased they took the time to supply the guests with so much information and advice about the coming years. I hope Campbell will continue to offer only the best to its students.
Lauren Felipe Raleigh
A medical school is, in my opinion, the most beneficial program that Campbell could develop, both for the institution itself, and for the people of North Carolina. I especially applaud Campbell's decision to develop an osteopathic school [as opposed to an MD school]. The traditional high percentage of DOs student who enter primary care specialties should produce graduates who will help fill the critical physician shortage. Clearly, this school is a well-thought out, strategic decision by the university administration.

There was a lot of chatter online during Campbell’s 2013 Homecoming Week from current students and alumni who returned to see old friends and catch a football game. Some of our favorite tweets:

It’s becoming a rite of passage for students in Campbell University’s physician assistant program. The charter class released a six-minute “PA Anthem” video performed by several students in April 2012; and the second class of students upped the ante this year with a sequel to the popular video. The 2013 anthem features health education-themed parodies of popular songs by Macklemore, Daft Punk and others. The two videos have garnered more than 10,000 views combined. Search “Campbell PA Anthem” on Youtube to view both videos.

Step back a moment and look at what has been accomplished at Campbell University in the past few years. There’s the medical school — now a reality and every bit the big deal we thought and hoped it would be. New programs are popping up, from homeland security to potentially nursing, and it seems you can’t stay away from Buies Creek for more than a few months without returning to a new building or some major renovations elsewhere. But we're not dedicating the cover story or a large portion of the Fall 2013 edition of Campbell Magazine to a new school, a new program or a new building. Rather, we're going back several decades to highlight a man who many believe played a huge role in making Campbell University what it is today.
I’ve spoken to several students and faculty members who were a part of Campbell between 1935 and 1984, and just about everybody had to include A.R. Burkot in their stories. And their recollections of the man were always fascinating.
He was a genius, I was told. He could speak 30 languages, one alumnus remembered. The nicest guy in the world. The memory of an elephant. The sole reason Campbell didn't fold during WWII or during other lean years. A friend. A mentor.
When I decided to look more into this man’s life, I expected to find someone who stood 7 feet tall and doubled as the center for the basketball team while also dean of students and language professor.
Founded in 1887, Campbell University is a private, coeducational institution where faith and learning excel. Campbell offers programs in the liberal arts, sciences and professions with undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degrees. The University is comprised of the College of Arts and Sciences, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law, the LundyFetterman School of Business, the School of Education, the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, the Divinity School and the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine. Campbell University was ranked among the Best Regional Universities in the South by U.S. News & World Report in its America’s Best Colleges 2013 edition and named one of the “100 Best College Buys” in the nation by Institutional Research & Evaluation, Inc.
I’m a firm believer that in order to fully appreciate what’s going on in the present, you need to immerse yourself in the past and learn as much as you can. On a personal note, I recently became infatuated with my ancestry, signing up for membership on a popular website and tracing my family tree all the way back to England in the 1400s. Along the way, I learned I had an ancestor named Marmaduke Murphy who fought and died in the Civil War (with a name like that, I thought he would have been immortal, but I was wrong). I even discovered I have roots in Moore County, North Carolina — a big find for a guy raised in East Texas.
I’ve been a writer and editor for Campbell for two years now, and I’ve done several stories on this school’s history — most notably stories and projects we worked on for the recent 125th anniversary celebration. And in my research and in interviews, one name kept popping up, regardless of the focus of that particular story.
That name was Alexander Roman Burkot. You know, the guy who has a dorm named after him.
But no … A.R. Burkot was a short man. He only spoke about a dozen languages. And he wasn’t the varsity center [though, I did find an article that said he played mean defense in a faculty game in the 50s].
But the other tales about him ... those appeared to be true. Multiple generations of Campbell graduates credit Burkot for leading them in the right direction in life. Many say he went out of his way to make sure they graduated. And just about everybody who knew him can attest to his memory; Burkot never forgot a name or a face.
To fully appreciate the many great things going on at Campbell today, we need to learn about the past and learn more about people like A.R. Burkot. It’s been almost 30 years since his death, yet the footprint he left on this school is still very big and

Campbell University celebrated Military Appreciation Week in mid September and ended the festivities with several activities during the football team’s home game against Charleston Southern. Campbell’s ROTC program took part in the National Anthem before the game and was honored during the halftime ceremony. This fall, Victory Media, the premier media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, named Campbell University to the coveted Military Friendly Schools list, which honors the top 20 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that are doing the most to embrace U.S. military service members, veterans and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus. | Photo by Will Bratton

Pat Barker thought she was on campus on Oct. 15 for just another meeting — one of many she’s attended over the years for Campbell University’s Presidential Board of Advisors or the College of Arts & Sciences’ Advisory Board.
Instead, midway through the gathering in Campbell’s newest women’s dormitory (built in 2010), she realized this wasn’t a typical meeting. She soon learned the lobby she sat in was part of the building that now bears her name.
Campbell formally dedicated Pat Barker Hall — which had been known simply as “the new residence hall” for three years — much to the surprise of Barker, who had to be strategically led in through the building’s south entrance so she wouldn’t see her name on the 48,000-square-foot freshman dormitory.
Joined by her husband, Bob Barker — the namesake of the recently built coed dormitory located across the highway from Barker-Lane Stadium (which also bears the family’s name) — Pat Barker expressed both shock and gratitude to the crowd of friends and family who were in on the surprise.
“I’m just totally amazed. This is so wonderful,” Pat Barker said. “I greatly appreciate all of this. Thank you so much."

Meredith Locklear started her senior year at Campbell University in August, but it was on Oct. 26, when it hit her: “Wow, I’m really a senior.”
That morning, Locklear and dozens of other juniors and seniors received their official class rings during the university's inaugural Ring Ceremony in a standing-room-only Butler Chapel. The ceremony marked the beginning of a new tradition at Campbell; it started off a full day of activities to celebrate Homecoming 2013; and, for Locklear, it served as “the perfect way to start off the senior activities.”
“This ceremony provides a sense of community and fellowship, and it brings together many of the students who are in a similar situation as you,” said Locklear, a clinical research major. “The next thing for us will be ordering our caps and gowns, and then soon it’s going to be graduation.”
What made the Ring Ceremony even more significant is that it’s the first of its kind to be held at Campbell, Locklear said. “It’s really special to be part of the first one.”
Campbell alumni have been wearing class rings for years, but it wasn’t until last April that the university premiered the official class ring and began planning its first Ring Ceremony to coincide with Homecoming 2013. One hundred
and forty-one students who have completed at least 64 credit hours have bought an official class ring since August — and many of them participated in the ceremony. Among them was Britany Curry, a senior in psychology.
“It was important to be here, because [this ring] represents the next step,” said Curry, who’s on track to graduate in May and who plans to attend graduate school for nursing. “And because it’s the first ceremony, that makes it even more important.”
The tradition of class rings in the U.S. dates back to 1835 when cadets at West Point received them, Dennis Bazemore, Campbell’s vice president for student life said during the ceremony. So it was fitting that cadets with Campbell’s ROTC placed the rings in the Dinah E. Gore Bell Tower the night before for safekeeping and escorted them to the chapel that Saturday morning.
Campbell President Jerry Wallace then presented the rings to each student in attendance who had ordered one.
“This ring is a symbol of Campbell pride and what Campbell has been in its 126 years, of what is now and of what it will be — and what it will be is largely what you will be and do and serve,” Wallace said before he directed all the students to remove the rings from boxes and place them
on their fingers at the same time. “I’m confident with the strong hands I shook and the happy faces that I saw and the pride I have experienced with you, that the future is in good hands.”
The ring design features the year of the university’s founding; degree abbreviations; stones that are orange and black, the school’s colors; and the university seal, which is also printed on graduation diplomas and on the medallions that first-year students receive during New Student Convocation. In addition, the ring includes imprints of three of the university’s campus landmarks: Kivett Hall’s tower, D. Rich Memorial Hall and the Dinah E. Gore Bell Tower.
“I am excited about this new tradition,” Bazemore added. “I hope you will cherish this ring. May this ring be a reminder of your student days at Campbell . . . and [may you] carry this with a great sense of Campbell pride . . . and use this ring to open doors to speak to others about Campbell.”
Campbell says ‘good bye’ to provost, alum and
Provost and Vice President of Academic Affairs Dwaine Greene was honored in September with the J.A. Campbell Meritorious Service Award, just weeks before he took the job as new president of Georgetown College in Kentucky. Greene shared tearful good-byes with co-workers, family and friends at a small ceremony at Marshbanks Hall. “I don’t know of anybody who qualifies more for the J.A. Campbell Meritorious Service Award than Dwaine Greene,” said Campbell President Jerry Wallace. “We’re proud of him because of his inherent goodness and the way of life he brought to Campbell. He led us through several difficult accreditations during his time here, and he was not only my neighbor here, but my right-hand man. He certainly has a special place in all of our hearts, and we wish him well.”
Campbell University has a long and proud history of providing educational opportunities to service members, veterans and their families. More than 700 veterans are currently enrolled at Campbell, and for two consecutive years, we’ve been recognized as one of the Top 50 military-friendly schools in the nation. Campbell Magazine will pay homage to the university’s longstanding relationship with our nation’s military with stories about our campuses at Fort Bragg and Camp Lejeune and profiles on students and alums who have fought and served to protect our freedom.

Dr. Nancy Duffy was named director of the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences’ proposed nursing program at the Oct. 30 Board of Trustees meeting.
Duffy will be tasked with bringing to fruition the proposed Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree program approved by the board last spring. The proposed start date for the program is fall 2014, subject to the approval of the N.C. Board of Nursing. Duffy began her duties on Nov. 1.
“You have to be willing to take the risk and if opportunity knocks, open the door,” Duffy said in accepting the role. “The timing of the proposed Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Campbell is perfect for numerous reasons.”
In 2012, there were 75,000 qualified applicants denied admission to nursing programs in the U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the employment growth for registered nurses will increase 26 percent from 2010 to 2020. Like Campbell’s other health sciences programs — which include the School of Osteopathic Medicine and the pharmacy, public health, physician assistant and anticipated physical therapy programs — the proposed nursing program will emphasize training health care professionals who serve rural and underserved populations, as well as interprofessional education.
U.S. News & World Report ranked Campbell University among the best regional universities in the South in its 2014 edition of Best Colleges. U.S. News ranked 621 regional universities that offer a full range of bachelor’s and master’s programs, as well as a few doctoral programs, against their peer groups in four geographic regions. In the South region, Campbell tied with Mississippi College to rank 27th out of 92 institutions.
The 2013 Doctor of Pharmacy class of Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences upheld its tradition of excellence by posting a perfect score on the North American Pharmacist Licensure Examination this summer.
Campbell’s 96 candidates exceeded North Carolina’s passage rate of 97 percent and the national passage rate of 96 percent on this year’s NAPLEX.
Wells Fargo Private Bank donated $50,000 to Campbell University this fall to expand a fund it established last year that provides scholarships for students in the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business’ Trust & Wealth Management Program. The bank initially established the Wells Fargo Trust Scholarship in 2012 with a $25,000 gift to aid trust majors at Campbell, with first preference for female and/or minority students. Lourdes Ros, a fifth-year student at Campbell, was the first recipient of the scholarship this year.
Campbell University ROTC Cadet Raul Mancera was recognized as the top cadet from his regiment at the 2013 Leader Development and Assessment Course on July 28 at Watkins Field in Washington. Mancera was one of 24 cadets from the 9th Regiment sworn in and pinned as second lieutenants in the U.S. Army.
Campbell Law School announced this fall the establishment of the Honoratos Emeritus Scholarship. The scholarship will award any qualified veteran an annual $15,000 renewable scholarship. For veterans that reside in North Carolina, the Honoratos Emeritus Scholarship essentially amounts to a full-tuition scholarship when combined with the G.I. Bill.
‘Interprofessional’
BY BILLY LIGGETT
In a perfect world, doctors respect their physician assistants or nurses, and they have close-working relationships with local pharmacists or physical therapists. Familiarity with their health care colleagues makes for a more well-oiled health care machine, right?
Unfortunately, this isn’t always the case. There are roughly 85,000 physician assistants working in the United States (a number expected to jump by 40 percent over the next 10 years), yet a recent survey showed that only half of all practicing physicians have worked alongside a PA. That unfamiliarity tends to lead to a lack of respect, according to Dr. Vicky Kaprielian, professor and associate dean for faculty development and medical education at Campbell University’s new School of Osteopathic Medicine.
“There are certainly some doctors who behave poorly toward other health care professionals,” Kaprielian said. “There is not universal respect of equality toward the various professions. And there should be.”
In an effort to build that familiarity and respect before their students head out into the professional world, students from Campbell’s medical, physician assistant, pharmacy and public health programs took part in the university’s inaugural First-Year Health Professional Interprofessional Day on Aug. 14 on Campbell’s main campus. Approximately 340 students from
the four programs were mixed into groups of 15 and took part in case studies and team-building exercises before gathering at Turner Auditorium for a panel discussion.
The goal was to prepare the students for the inevitable interprofessional settings and scenarios they’ll come across in their careers and to introduce them to the students in other programs working toward the same goal — to improve health care services in North Carolina and beyond.
“They learn the strengths of these other professions and how they will complement these other professions down the road,” said Michael Adams, assistant dean for graduate and interprofessional education. “Our goal is simply better patient outcomes, and we feel we can get there when we have a better understanding of what other professions do.”
With Campbell launching new programs and currently in the accreditation process for potential future programs such as nursing and physical therapy, Adams said the school’s interprofessional program will continue to grow.The framework for a formal program is being developed by a committee and will be presented to the individual programs as they build their curriculums. It is anticipated that this First Year Health Professional Interprofessional Day will be the initial introductory experience for all health programs.

For the first time since it opened in 2001, the Lundy-Fetterman Museum dropped its ropes on Oct. 2 and allowed guests to touch and feel the pronghorn antelope, goitered gazelle, Persian ibex and blue marlin on display.
For many of those guests, the day was the first time they experienced the enormity of a hippopotamus or the first time they felt a bear not named Teddy. For the dozen students of the Governor Morehead School for the Blind, the trip to Buies Creek allowed for a better understanding of Earth’s wildlife beyond the descriptions from those with sight or from science books.
“This added a whole new dimension to their learning,” said Rod Poole, the Morehead School’s orientation and abilities specialist who
was among a handful of staff and volunteers who accompanied the children, ages 12-13, on Wednesday. “If they don’t have this extra concept development, they’re missing out on so much when it comes to learning about nature and science. This opportunity is priceless … something you can’t get just anywhere.”
The museum, which also houses historic books and photos of Campbell University’s 126-year history, features a collection of 175 animals gathered by Burrows T. and Mabel L. Lundy, who were avid hunters and self-proclaimed conservationists. The Lundys, founders of Lundy Packing Company in Clinton, donated their exhibit to Campbell and the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business in 2001.
The Campbell University Campus Activities Board was recognized as the best in the region during a conference in Tennessee for the National Association for Campus Activities this fall.
“CAB has come a long way since it was started seven years ago at Campbell,” said Chris O’Connor, director of student activities. “To go from a newly created board to being recognized as the best programming board in the region in only seven years is a testament to the hard work and energy that our students have invested in making CAB the best organization possible.”
CAB organizes activities, programs and events for Campbell students in hopes of fostering an environment that stimulates social, cultural, multicultural, intellectual, leadership and recreational skills. Activities have included concerts, formals, street fairs, Party in the Park, movie nights, homecoming, day trips, the annual Spring Fling and numerous others. The organization is comprised of an executive board and eight committees, all led by students.
CAB received the Board of Excellence Award, which recognizes the best activities board in the South. Also honored at the conference was Karie Parkes, Campbell’s assistant director of student activities, who received the Shuronda H. Smith Outstanding New Professional Award.
Emily Tadlock, a senior at Campbell University, had nominated her family for Campbell’s Family of the Year award last year but the Tadlocks weren’t selected. When the nominations started this year, her sister, Hunter, a junior at Campbell, asked her if she thought it would be a good idea if they both submitted an essay nominating their family again.
It was a very good idea — Campbell’s Office of Student Life office selected the Tadlocks, of Williamston, as the university’s Family of the Year. Emily, Hunter and their parents Lynn and Pamela, who both attended Campbell, were recognized during halftime at the Camels home football game against Morehead State as part of the university’s annual Family Weekend.
“Campbell University really is at the heart of my family,” said Emily, who is majoring in communications studies and theatre arts and minoring in business management. “We have a lot of family history here on campus … all the way to my grandmother and great aunt and great uncles. So being Campbell’s Family of the Year is such an honor for my family and I feel like they truly deserve it."
In her essay, Hunter wrote that their father, Lynn, who was working at Campbell and taking classes when he met Pamela, attends every home Camels football game and spends his Sunday afternoons playing golf, toting “around his Campbell golf bag, with his Campbell golf towel, while wearing the brightest of Campbell orange shirts he can find.” Their mother, Pamela, a 1986 graduate, is known as the “crazy Campbell lady” at the high school in Williamston where she teaches.

While most students do not enjoy the pressure of having the spotlight shine on them, or in their faces, the pressure is what drives the cast of Campbell Now! News.
After two semesters of producing the taped newscast Campbell Now! TV, students this fall began to experience being live on camera every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 8:30 a.m. during their newscast, Campbell Now! News, which airs on Channel 15.
“I love that butterfly feeling I get in my stomach," said Emily Tadlock, a senior theatre arts and communication studies double major, "so being live versus being taped is a lot more exciting for me.”
Campbell Now! News is produced by a class of 12 students who meet every Tuesday evening to learn the technicalities of broadcasting under the guidance of professor Pete Kenny. Each student is then required to attend either two airings of the show each week or attend one airing and conduct one hour of research for the show.
“It’s a lot of getting your feet wet, trying different roles out, seeing if you like it,” Kenny said. “And it’s a great way for the students to give back to Campbell.”
Although it is only in its first semester, Kenny and the show’s director Hannah Joyce have big goals for Campbell Now! News, which covers campus news as well as local and national news, sports, entertainment, technology and weather. By next spring Joyce, a senior communication studies major, would like to increase the length of the show and begin introducing guest speakers and grow the viewership. Once worked out, those details feed into Kenny’s vision for the show’s future.
“Eventually, what we are hoping to do is have a student-run newscast that airs every night of the week and covers news, sports, weather, everything,” he said.
Although the majority of the cast is communication studies students, the course is open to all students on campus. Courtney Fannin, a senior kinesiology major, signed up for the course as an elective. She runs the lights and cameras on Mondays and serves as floor manager on Wednesdays, but sees how this can carry over to her future career in physical therapy.
“It has helped me learn about using communication, because you have to be able to talk to your co-workers or bosses,” Fannin said.
A 20-year veteran of Campbell, Borree Kwok oversees a bustling, ever-changing library system
BY CHERRY CRAYTON
Borree Kwok loves books, and she loves people. That’s why she became a librarian, she says, though she didn’t initially start out in that career.
Kwok grew up in Hong Kong and attended Hong Kong Baptist University. During her senior year, she was an exchange student at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash., which brought her to the U.S. for the first time. She returned to Hong Kong, worked as an editorial assistant at Asiaweek, and then started teaching high school. But the “draw of books and libraries and people were so strong, I yearned to work in the library,” she says.
So she persuaded her husband, Siu-Ki Wong, to return to the U.S. with her to attend graduate school at UNC-Chapel Hill, where she completed a Master of Science in Library Science in 1992. She went on to work for the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., but she returned to North Carolina and accepted a position at Campbell University in 1993. She
has been here since.
During her 20-plus years at Campbell, Kwok has held a variety of positions, including director of institutional research and director of library services. She became the dean of Campbell University Library in 2011. As the dean, she oversees a bustling library system that includes Wiggins Memorial Library and three branches. At the start of the new academic year, Campbell's libraries had a collection of more than 341,200 print and 848,900 electronic volumes, as well as some 57,900 serial subscriptions. The Wiggins Memorial Library alone had a door count of 249,440 last year.
“We like to think of the library not only as a place where students can come to discover knowledge, be inspired to their own discoveries and grow intellectually, but also as a place where they can come to ponder and discover who they are and grow toward who they want to become,” Kwok says.
Read the entire interview at campbell.edu/magazine
What's new at the library this year?
We’ve expanded the space available for 24-hour access to include the second floor of Wiggins. That’s in addition to the 24-hour lobby on the first floor. Another new initiative is the creation of a silent study room in the basement of Wiggins. A new library website, lib.campbell. edu, was also launched in July. This completely redesigned website provides a simple, easy-to-use interface for our users to access the wide array of resources offered, [including] digitized major university publications, such as the undergraduate catalog, the student yearbook and student newspapers Creek Pebbles and The Campbell Times
What are the challenges college libraries face today?
Keeping up with the changes. Information technology is changing rapidly, and it is vital to have a clear vision and be wise in the decisions that libraries make in order to move along with the changes and to choose the correct tools and resources for the users.
What's your longterm vision for the libraries at Campbell?
For them to serve as a major resource to inspire and empower the Campbell community. To do so, we will need to continue to build our collections according to the changes in and needs of our academic programs and to provide easy access; our physical and virtual spaces will need to be responsive to the changing habits of its users; and our services will need to stay user-focused.
Campbell Proud?
I work in a place with colleagues who generously and faithfully give of themselves to support the Christian mission of this university. Not only do the faculty and other colleagues want our students to grow intellectually, they are also concerned about each student as a person. They are very willing to give of themselves to ensure not just the intellectual development but also the personal growth in our students.

Jerry Wallace’s decade of leadership as president of Campbell University has been marked by tremendous accomplishments and milestones — from the construction of the Pope Convocation Center to bringing football back after a 52-year absence, and from the building and renovation of residence halls to the launching of several new programs.
But the new School of Osteopathic Medicine — North Carolina’s first new medical school in over 35 years which welcomed a charter class of 160 students this fall — is viewed by many as Wallace’s finest moment.
“His pinnacle achievement,” said Bob Barker, former chairman of the Board of Trustees and a longtime friend of Wallace. “And something that was not imaginable to me just three or four years ago.”
On Oct. 30, Barker, the trustees and a large crowd of students, faculty, administration, friends and family gathered in the lobby of the building that houses Wallace’s pinnacle achievement to officially name the school as the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine. Portraits of Wallace and his wife, Betty Blanchard Wallace, were unveiled in the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences, as was the new sign at the facility’s entrance bearing Wallace’s name.
Described by current Trustee Chairman Benjamin Thompson as an “architect of ideas” and a man who prefers to draw attention away from himself, a teary-eyed Wallace said he was humbled by the ceremony and proud of his association with the school he’s been with for over 43 years.
“We’re so grateful for the privilege and honor that has come to us today,” Wallace said. “Much has been said about our years here. We’ve enjoyed the days, months and years, but when things happen, it takes a team. And I look into the faces of people who’ve
worked with us as a team day by day to cause everything to happen. It’s been a wonderful, wonderful life at Campbell. And we’ve enjoyed it all along the way.”
The events that led to Campbell’s medical school started with Wallace travelling to William Carey University in Mississippi just four years ago as part of a team reviewing the small school’s application to launch its own school of osteopathic medicine. Skeptical at the beginning, Wallace soon learned more about the osteopathic school model (which typically doesn’t require the construction of a large hospital, but, rather, partnerships with several hospitals in the surrounding region).
Not only did Wallace leave Mississippi confident William Carey would be successful with a medical school, he was also confident that Campbell could do the same thing. He soon learned about North Carolina’s problems with health care — how the state ranks 30th in the nation in physician density and how it and other states across the nation are facing a massive physician shortage in the next five to 10 years. In 2010, two years after approving a
new physician assistant program, Campbell’s Board of Trustees, at the urging of Wallace, voted to authorize a feasibility study on starting a school of osteopathic medicine.
Just over a year later, in December 2011, the university broke ground on the Levine Hall of Medical Sciences, a 96,500-square-foot stateof-the-art learning facility located less than half a mile from Campbell’s main campus. Less than two years later, Campbell celebrated its inaugural class of medical school students and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility.
“Dr. Wallace has a rare gift of vision and attention to detail and the ability to direct a project from conception to completion,” said Dr. John Kauffman, founding dean of the Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine. “The dictionary defines ‘vision’ as ‘the act or power to anticipate that which will or may come to be … an experience in which an event appears vividly or credibly to the mind, although not always present, often under the influence of a divine agency.’ I think that definition fits Dr. Wallace very well.”

If the Sept. 19 ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences — Campbell University’s 96,500-square-foot cornerstone of its new health sciences campus — took on a churchlike atmosphere, it wasn’t by accident.
From the organist’s hymnal that accompanied the march-in of 200-plus medical school and physician assistant students to the large white tent set up outside of the facility that gave the program a “big top revival” feel — and from the several speakers who spoke passionately about how “God’s will” played a big part in Campbell’s decision to launch
North Carolina’s first new medical school in 35 years to the scriptures offered by President Jerry Wallace to both open and close the ceremony — faith was the underlying theme on a day celebrated by more than 700 people in attendance.
“What we are celebrating on Sept. 19, 2013, is the Lord’s doing. And it is marvelous in our eyes,” said Wallace, a former Baptist minister, referencing Psalm 118:23-24. “This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
In addition to the students, faculty and staff
who had resided in the medical building for a few months, the big day’s crowd included university trustees and committee members, donors, local and state elected officials, state medical officials and North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, who spoke before the ceremonial cutting of the ribbon about the importance of Campbell’s health sciences initiative to the state in terms of both health care and the economy. McCrory said his first introduction to Campbell as a young man was the school’s basketball camps that brought in the likes of legends John Wooden and Michael Jordan. Those camps were the first of their kind, and

he compared Campbell’s foresight then to its goal today of helping a state that currently ranks 35th in the nation in physicians per capita and has at least 20 counties with no obstetrician or gynecologist, a factor in high infant mortality rates in those areas.
“From your law school that has had the highest [bar exam] rates in North Carolina to a medical school today, this is visionary leadership,” McCrory said. “Unless we convince doctors and those in the medical profession to make their home in North Carolina, we’re not going to succeed in rebuilding the rural areas of our state. This is what our state needs, and Campbell University is giving North Carolina what it needs.”
After the ceremony, McCrory added to his praise of Campbell.
“I’m impressed with the way this university has adapted to market needs,” he said. “That’s something I’ve been trying to promote to our state’s public universities. There’s a large number of students looking to enter medical school, and our state is in desperate need of a large number of doctors. Unless we have doctors or other medical professionals in these underserved parts of our state, those towns simply won’t be able to recruit businesses. What Campbell is doing will do wonders for economic development in those areas.”
Honored during the ceremony was Charlotte businessman, philanthropist and longtime friend of Wallace, Leon Levine, for whom the medical facility is named. The Family Dollar retail chain founder whose foundation has donated more than $100 million in the last 30-plus years called the ribbon-cutting event a “proud day” and expressed his joy in helping Campbell meet the state’s needs.
“For a long time, my foundation has had a deep interest in providing quality health care for all,” Levine said. “Without topnotch physicians, physician assistants and other health care professionals, we cannot even begin to solve this critical challenge. Campbell will go a long way in dealing with the challenges in rural North Carolina.”

Agovernor, a millionaire philanthropist, doctors and a few elected officials all spoke during the ceremonial ribbon-cutting event for the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences on Sept. 19. But perhaps the biggest impression on the crowd that day was left by a physician assistant student who will graduate in December.
Andrita Stokes represented the charter physician assistant class by sharing a personal story with the 700-plus gathered that day. She spoke of the many rejection letters she received before her acceptance into Campbell’s new program.
“It wasn’t because of my capabilities or because I couldn’t meet the demands of the rigorous program, but it was because it took a school like Campbell University to recognize and celebrate the total person,” said Stokes, “... one with an engineering degree and a biology degree. A wife, a mother and a woman with a strong faith and morals who represents the true essence of what it means to be Campbell Proud. It was [Campbell] where my dream came to fruition. It was within these walls that I was pushed to the limit to be and do my best and be the best physician assistant that I can be.”
After the ceremony, Stokes elaborated on her history pre-Campbell and likened the events leading up to her applying for the PA program to an Olympic track event.
“Along the way, there were various forms of preparation, hurdles to clear, wins and losses. It was no easy road,” she said. “I'd spent multiple years attempting to get into multiple PA programs. Rejection letters and waitlists were the bane of my existence for a few years.Then, there was a year when the acceptance letters finally started coming. It was like finding that golden ticket in the Willy Wonka chocolate bar. Then, I was faced with the decision to choose.”
Stokes chose Campbell, she said, because of its reputation — its pharmacy, law and other graduate schools “reigned supreme” and she was confident the PA program would follow the same model of success.
“I remember attending an open house prior to being interviewed for a seat in the charter class and during my visit, I felt at home,” she said. “In a sense, I chose Campbell because it fit me like a well-tailored suit. I wanted a school that saw the whole me and embraced it — varied educational and work experience as well as life experience.”
Two years and a few months later, she calls her time at Campbell an “indescribable experience.” “Though my race is nearing its end, I know that choosing to attend Campbell was undoubtedly the right choice and one of the best decisions I’ve made,” she said. “Whether I finish first or last in this race, I will be always be a Campbell PA.”
The Sept. 19 ribbon cutting and building dedication ceremony for the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences on Campbell University’s Health Science Campus featured speeches by about 20 people, including elected officials, medical professionals, Campbell University administrators, faculty and students with the university’s School of Osteopathic Medicine and physician assistant program. Below are quotes from a few of those speeches:
“For a long time my foundation has had a deep interest in providing quality health care for all. Without top-notch physicians, physician assistants, and other health care professionals we can’t begin to solve this critical challenge. Campbell’s plan to graduate 150 or more physicians and 40 physician assistants per year will go a long way in dealing with this challenging issue, especially right here in rural North Carolina.”
Leon Levine, The Leon Levine Foundation and Founder and Chair Emeritus of Family Dollar Stores, Inc.
“I have to be honest. When Dr. Wallace and Dr. Davis came in to my office about four years ago and told me about their idea for a medical school, I didn’t believe it. And now it’s payback. Every time I see that commercial with the camel going through the office . . . all I see is that camel saying, ‘We told you so. We told you so.’ I’m glad I was wrong.”
Robert W. Seligson, Executive VP and CEO of N.C. Medical Society
“We have a dream for a healthy North Carolina, and our dream is that every North Carolinian -- particularly those most vulnerable, particularly those in rural communities -- all will have easy access to high-quality primary care. We have a dream that North Carolina will someday have the problem of being overwhelmed with primary care physicians. The opening of this school helps us get one step closer to our dream come true.”
Dr. Karen McNeil-Miller, President of Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust
charter physician assistant class of 2013 and the School of Osteopathic Medicine class of 2017. First-year med student Melissa Davies, who received her undergraduate degree from Campbell in 2010, credited her classmates for working together as a team during their first month of med school.
“We have formed a community,” she said. “Instead of the usual competitive mentality found in medical school, here one will find cooperation and teamwork.”
Davies also incorporated faith into her speech, saying it goes hand-in-hand with Campbell’s health care goals.
“Coupling faith with medical training may seem contradictory to some, but it is actually enhancing the way we will practice medicine and care for our patients,” she said.
Following the ceremony, the students became tour guides leading hundreds through Levine Hall’s state-of-the-art simulation and manipulative medicine labs, as well as its stadium-seating classrooms and common areas.
Med student Ryan Pursley of Connecticut was helping his group through a demonstration of a 3D virtual reality program that guides students through operations and other nerve procedures. With medical “instruments” in hand, the students can poke and prod (for lack of a better medical term) virtual patients, and the machine provides resistance to make the experience “real.”
In between tour stops, Pursley talked about his first month of medical school.
“Nothing but fear,” Pursley said with a laugh. “But it’s really been a wonderful experience. The work load has been everything you’d expect from med school, so there’s been stress. But overall, the facilities have been great, and the faculty and staff have been amazing.”
Student Kimberly Imhoff, another Campbell alumna, said the physician assistant program has been equally demanding, but also a “wonderful experience.” She also raved about the star of the ceremony, the facility.
“The study rooms are beautiful and wellequipped with large computer screens, which is great because we can connect our laptops to them and study together,” Imhoff said.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony came 22 months after the groundbreaking event under a similar white tent on what was then a bare pasture where Levine Hall now stands. In December, Campbell will graduate its first class of nearly 40 physician assistants, and the 162-member charter class of the School of Osteopathic Medicine is scheduled to graduate in May 2017.
By 2020, Campbell will have graduated approximately 1,000 students between the two programs. In addition, the university continues to graduate pharmacists and clinical researchers and is currently seeking accreditation to begin physical therapy and nursing programs.

The patients on the second floor of Campbell University’s Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences have it rough — irregular heart beats, pneumonia, bowel problems, stroke symptoms and much, much more.
In other words, they’re perfect. And they’re a big reasons so many students have applied to Campbell’s new School of Osteopathic Medicine and its physician assistant program.
In October, the 160-member medical school charter class got its first hands-on look at Campbell’s standardized patient and high-fidelity simulation center, a six-room laboratory featuring robotic patients who breath, blink, talk, bleed, give birth and display symptoms of hundreds of illnesses or conditions, which are controlled by the school’s professors and highly trained staff. The labs — which were made possible by two $2 million grants in 2012 from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust and the Golden Leaf Foundation — resemble your typical operating rooms, emergency rooms, ICUs and birthing suites. And some of the new teaching
hardware and software is the first of its kind in North Carolina, according to Bob Schmid, Campbell’s SIM lab technical director.
“Since simulation is becoming a standard in medical education, many schools in the state have similar simulation systems. However, Campbell has some distinct advantages,” Schmid said. “Our facility was designed and built to be a SIM center and not a retrofit of an existing structure. That means Campbell’s academic curriculum is being designed to integrate simulated training experiences from the beginning.”
The “stars” of the lab are the robots, or Human Patient Simulators. SimMan 3G and SimMan Ess. breathe, bleed, react to drugs, can go into cardiac arrest and can perform a number of other functions to simulate real-life symptoms or a real-life emergency. During their second week of classes in the labs in October, students were using their stethoscopes to listen for murmurs and other changes in SimMan’s heart beat, which was being controlled in the next room by Dr. Michael Soderling, Campbell’s director of medical missions and global health.
First-year med student Flint Ray of Utah chose Campbell over five other medical schools, and a big sell for him was the facilities and the second-floor simulation lab. “It’s just the best way to learn. You can make mistakes here and learn from those mistakes,” he said.
His partner that day and another Utah native, Blake Taylor, also said the labs were a deciding factor for him to choose Campbell.
“It’s as close to lifelike as you can get,” he said. “It really is state of the art equipment. Just about anything you might come across as a physician, these [patient simulators] can do.”
As with all lectures in the med school, the students’ lab experiences are captured on video and made available for the students to evaluate themselves and their classmates.
“The video recording provides clarity for the student to make an introspective assessment of interactions,” Schmid said. “The patient evaluation helps the student appreciate how their clinical skills are perceived, and the faculty feedback highlights student strengths, insights and areas for improvement.”

“For decades, Dean Burkot made Campbell College — now University — run like a well-oiled machine. He was a busy man, and the light in his office often burned well into the night, especially around registration and graduation.”
Leggett (‘63), writer and former editor of Campbell’s Creek Pebbles student newspaper
He was a master of languages. He taught five of them, could speak seven fluently and if you count those he could read, the number climbed to at least 12.
But even A.R. Burkot was stumped by the small piece of paper taped to the office door of James Jung, the chemistry professor at then-Campbell College from the 1960s and beyond. The paper read:
O simili si ergo
Fortibus ees enero
O nobili deus trux
Vatis ennum
Causan dux
If there was a language Burkot loved most, it was Latin — the root of all languages — yet Jung’s little poem came off as gibberish. Puzzled and somewhat angry with himself, Burkot took the paper off the door and approached Jung, almost demanding a translation.
“Turn it over,” Jung told him. Looking at the other side, Burkot read aloud:
Oh see Emily, see her go, Forty buses in a row.
Oh no, Billy, they is trucks. What is in em?
Cows and ducks.
“Oh, he was angry,” recalled Jung, now a professor emeritus whose years with Campbell number 51. “He turned around and stomped off in disgust.”
The front page photo of the Dec. 6, 1966, edition of Creek Pebbles, Campbell College’s student-run newspaper at the time, showed the ear-to-ear grin of Leslie Hartwell Campbell — Campbell’s second president and the son of founder James Archibald Campbell — as he stepped off a train in Dunn at 2:30 a.m. after the long trip back from the conference in Miami Beach that raised the status of Campbell to a fully accredited senior institution.
“Campbell Returns Exultant” read the headline in three-inch bold print. Six hundred students and a band greeted the returning president at the train station to celebrate the news.
Pictured behind Campbell is Alexander Roman Burkot, holding up a “No. 1” sign with his right hand … his smile (or smirk) showing more exhaustion, relief and pride than pure joy.
“For Dean Burkot, Dr. Campbell’s first lieutenant of 30 years standing,” read the article, “the high-spirited, after-midnight turnout was recompense for much of the midnight oil he had given to the detail work of winning for Campbell College that coveted credential — ‘fully accredited.’”
The accreditation was a huge step for Campbell and the culmination of years of work by Burkot, who’d held dozens of titles at the school in his 30 years before taking on the role of vice president for academic affairs and provost. Before that, he was a professor, the registrar, the director of admissions, the academic dean and the dean of men. In the 50s, he served as president of the North Carolina Junior College Athletic Association.
When he wasn’t involved with Campbell, he taught Sunday school at the local Baptist church for nearly 50 years.
From 1935 until his death in 1984, Burkot did it all at Campbell. Leslie Campbell said as much early in Burkot’s career in the 1946 edition of the Pine Burr yearbook — “A history of Dean Burkot’s duties and areas of service is impossible to list.”
Not even Burkot’s son, Jerry Burkot, who grew up on the Buies Creek campus can remember all of his father’s jobs and titles.
“Dr. Campbell’s job was to go out and raise money,” Jerry Burkot (‘63) recalled, thumbing through old articles about his father at his home in New Bern. “So dad was … well, he was basically in charge of anything academic at the college. And then as dean of men … well, he was also in charge of anything student-related at the college.”
“Our purpose has been not to supply all the answers, but to insist that there are many which you do not know. Continue in the quest and whisper an occasional word of thanks for us who are your friends.”
A.R. Burkot, his message to students in the 1956 edition of the Pine Burr yearbook
“He was the answer to everybody’s problem,” added Dorothea Stewart Gilbert (‘46), who took French under Burkot in the early 40s and returned to Campbell as his colleague on the faculty several years later. “And he was as responsible for the success of Campbell as any president. He was a professor, an administrator, a friend and one of the strongest supporters Campbell’s ever had.”
Most importantly, Gilbert added, people loved him.
“They loved him whether they agreed with him or not,” she said with a smile. “Though I can’t imagine anyone ever disagreeing with him.”
A.R. Burkot arrived at Campbell College in 1935 at the age of 26, hired as a foreign languages professor and dean of men. He and his wife Velma moved to Buies Creek before classes began that fall and lived in a small apartment in Layton Dorm, which once stood near where Butler Chapel stands today. Campbell paid Burkot a paltry $500 a year, in addition to free housing and meals.
Before coming to Campbell, Burkot taught at a high school in Redding, Pa., and as was the

case with most young teachers, he also had to coach a sport. Burkot coached boys track, and ever the perfectionist, his team won the state track meet in Philadelphia in 1934.
The Burkots had their first son, Michael, in 1938; and Jerry came along in 1941. They lost Michael at the age of 5 in 1943 to encephalitis, according to Jerry, who was 2 at the time. His sister, Betty, was born in 1946. Both Jerry and Betty would go on to earn degrees at Campbell.
Jerry said Burkot’s relationship with the school and the Buies Creek community helped him through the loss of his oldest child. A.R. Burkot returned the favor with his leadership in
“He was kind of like a father figure to a lot of these rough-and-tumble guys, especially the ones coming back after the war,” Jerry said. “Early on in his career at Campbell, he just endeared himself to the school and the community. And he was so much more than a teacher or a dean.”
The personal testimonies to Burkot’s influence in Buies Creek are numerous. But in terms of growing Campbell as a respected academic institution, two of Burkot’s major contributions reside in the school’s securing
greeted their tired and sleepy eyes went far to rejuvenate them,” Pearce wrote.
Campbell College would become Campbell University 13 years later in 1979 with the graduation of the Norman A. Wiggins School of Law’s charter class.
Sometime between the late 1950s and the early 1960s, A.R. Burkot went from a slender man to … well, a not-so-slender man.
The reason for the noticeable weight gain had little to do with diet, according to Jerry Burkot. A.R. packed on the pounds, instead, because in his early ’50s, he finally learned to drive a car.
“People who knew Dad later on often wondered why he was so skinny in his earlier pictures,” Jerry said. “Even though he cooked a lot and ate a lot back then, he didn’t have a driver’s license. He walked everywhere he went.”
Living on campus and later very near campus, the elder Burkot walked to work, even in foul weather. Eventually, middle age caught up to him, so when it came time to learn the art of driving (at least enough to do it legally), he sought out the best possible coach — Fred McCall, the legendary Campbell basketball coach who co-founded the nation’s first basketball camp in 1956 (a camp that featured instructors like John Wooden) and inventor of the McCall Rebounder.
“He thought it strange that he could be paid for something he would willingly have done for nothing.”
the late Glen Rasmussen on why A.R. Burkot never left Campbell for higher-paying jobs
In the outfield of Taylor Field, Burkot, McCall and Ora Cansler (another faculty member who piggy-backed on the free lesson) tore up the outfield grass learning proper turning signals and how to park.
“I guess they figured Dad couldn’t hurt anybody without going through a fence first,” Jerry said, laughing. “Of course, when he got his license, he finally became a well-rounded person. Or he lost some height, as he liked to put it.”
A.R. Burkot’s father was a Polish immigrant who crossed the Atlantic to find work mining coal. After settling in Kaska, Pa., he sent for his bride-to-be, Pauline, and the two started a family. A big family.
A.R. was the oldest of 13 children, nine of whom made it to adolescence and eventually adulthood. Three of his siblings are alive today; one of them is Sister Doris Burkot, a Catholic nun who lives in Shenandoah, Pa.
Kaska — located just minutes from Pottsville, home of the country’s first brewery (Yuengling Beer) — attracted immigrants from all over Europe because of its plentiful
job opportunities in the early 20th Century. Germans, Scots, Irish, Armenians, Lithuanians, Greeks, Swedes … the town was a melting pot of customs and languages.
It was the kind of town where one could easily pick up on another language or two. Or three. Or 12.
“Alex,” as he was known by as a child, was the star pupil of his small town. He graduated high school at the age of 15, already fluent or familiar with Polish, French, German, Spanish, Czechoslovakian, Russian and, of course, English. One of his teachers in high school, Mrs. Poff, recognized young Alex’s brilliance and encouraged him to apply to Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., where her husband, the Rev. Nils Poff, taught.
Alex spent two years working in the coal mines to save money for Dickinson. During those two years, he studied a lot at home to become fluent in all seven languages.
In 1927, at the age of 17, Burkot enrolled at Dickinson. He earned a degree in “romance languages” and roomed with a young man whose cousin — Velma Susan Wood of South Carolina — caught Burkot’s attention.
A.R. Burkot’s service extended beyond the realm of Campbell College and eventually Campbell University.
He was a big part of the Buies Creek and Harnett County communities as well.
He was a member of the Harnett County Schools advisory committee and served as a member of the Commission of Colleges and Universities of the Southern Association for several years. He chaired or was a member of 20 visiting committees throughout the region, and served on a dozen committees for the N.C. State Committee on Teacher Education to high schools. He also took part as a member of 10 visiting teams for the Southern Association for the Accreditations of Schools and Colleges.
For three years, Burkot was state chairman of the N.C. Secondary School Committee of the Southern Association.
In service to the community, Burkot was a past president of the Lillington Rotary Club and the Buies Creek Civic Club. He spoke in many churches and at many commencement ceremonies, and he received several invitations to speak at clubs and other events each year.
He was a past moderator of the Little River Association of the Baptist State Convention and served as teacher of the Buies Creek Baptist Church Adult Men’s Sunday School class for 45-plus consecutive years, and also served as a deacon of the church.

And soon, his affection for Velma sent him south — broke and unemployed until an opportunity opened for a language teacher and dean of men at tiny Campbell College. Immediately Burkot became a local favorite, and his language knowledge amazed the students, many of whom had never been outside of North Carolina.
“One of the high spots of my school life was to be in his class,” recalled alumnus William Shearin. “I think every student was in awe, as I was, of his ability and his unbelievable knowledge of language. Also most impressive was the fact that he could call the name of every student he ever had at Campbell. I believe this continued until he was no longer in the classroom.”
Burkot’s memory was indeed the stuff of legends.
out each student’s schedule at the beginning of every semester. According to Gilbert, Burkot was mostly a one-man show during registration.
“He would gather us in Turner Auditorium, and would shout out, ‘How many of you have had Miss Powell for English?’ We’d raise our hands, and he’d put us in a group and say, ‘Good, you have Miss Strickland this year,’”
but Ms. Stewart,’ which was me. Of course, I was standing right there, and she didn’t realize that. We all got a good laugh from that.”
Burkot did this for 30 years, until 1965 when the whole process became a bit more modernized.
“If you went to Campbell during that time, you went through my dad,” Jerry Burkot said. “He scheduled you for everything and did it all with a pencil and index cards. He had a system and a master plan that only he knew. I was just amazed at how he was able to know where everybody belonged. And there were rarely any scheduling conflicts. And if there were, it was probably the student’s fault.”
“A.R. Burkot has been called a ‘20th Century embodiment of a 19th Century American legend.’ But he is more. His students will attest to the fact that Dr. Burkot is always there when he is needed. He is, to any who so wish, a very good friend.”
April 11, 1978 Creek Pebbles editorial
“It was phenomenal,” said W. Earl Britt (’52). “We had around 400 male students back then, and before the year was over, I think he knew every one of them on a first-name basis.”
Burkot’s ability came in handy as registrar when, in the days before computers, he wrote
Gilbert said. “When I returned as a teacher, this was still well before computers, and he was doing the same thing in Carter Gym. I remember he signed in one student, and she told Dean Burkot, ‘I want anyone for English
Britt recalled crossing paths with Burkot in 1960, eight year after he left Campbell, at a groundbreaking ceremony the two attended for the new Southeastern Community College in Whiteville. Britt made it a point to greet Burkot at the event, but before he could say a word, Burkot smiled and shouted, “Hi, Earl!” … “as if we’d seen each other the day before,” Britt recalled.
Then 20 years later, Britt — a U.S. District Judge by that time — presided over a trial involving the Harnett County Board of Education. Burkot was a witness in the trial, and before he took the stand, he looked at Britt, smiled knowingly and greeted him with a, “Good morning, your honor.”
“I took recess after his testimony so we could speak informally,” Britt said. “And he appeared to be just as sharp then as when I was a student. I will always cherish his memory with appreciation for the opportunity that I had to sit at his feet and learn.”
Orron Dixon ran one of the few “filling stations” in Buies Creek in the 40s and 50s, and because he walked everywhere he went, Burkot was a regular customer.
Carroll Leggett was editor of Creek Pebbles in the early 1960s and today is a columnist for Metro Magazine in Raleigh. He’s frequently written about his days in Buies Creek, and on more than one occasion, he’s written about Burkot. In a 2006 column called “Guys in the Kitchen,” he wrote about Burkot and Dixon’s “business relationship.”
[Burkot] and Mr. Dixon were old friends, and like many folks in Buies Creek, Dean had an account with him. But the way they did business was different, according to Ivan Strickland, Mr. Dixon’s son-in-law.
“Dean was the only person I’ve ever seen who kept his own account,” Ivan said. ”He would come in and get his groceries, pull the ledger book out from under the counter and record everything himself. Then on payday, he would come in, add everything up, count out what he owed, and put the money in the cash register. That’s the way they did business.”
Gail Goodman (’66) was a 21-year-old mother in the mid-60s who wanted to resume her education after a lengthy maternity break, and the man she turned to for advice was Dean Burkot. He counseled her personally, Goodman recalled, and encouraged her to apply for a National Defense Loan, which she received.
During her senior year, Goodman and her husband found themselves in “dire financial straits,” and Goodman was convinced she would need to drop out again.
Again, she sought her mentor.
“Dean Burkott, I know this is my last semester, but I have to drop out due to finances,” she told him. “But I will finish later. We can’t even pay the babysitter this week.”
Goodman remembers well Burkot’s response.
“Without a moment’s hesitation, he pulled $20 from his pocket and asked if this amount would tide us over,” she said. “This was the late ’60s, when this amount was equivalent to about $100 today.”
Goodman was able to pay the babysitter and get through the next few weeks. That spring, she graduated with the Class of 1966.
In 2005, Goodman returned to Campbell University with a master’s degree to teach freshman English for five years after a 32year career teaching in North Carolina public schools.
“Indeed, there are numerous others who feel a depth of gratitude to this wonderful gentleman of ‘the old school,’” Goodman said. One of them is Rick Allen (’71), who returned to Campbell after serving three tours of duty with the Navy in Vietnam to finish his senior year and “get on with my life.”
“Trouble was, I needed a final class in German [to graduate], and it wasn’t being offered in the spring semester,” Allen said. “I went to Dean Burkot for advice, and he personally ran a special German IV class for me alone.”
“When the sap rises, the saps rise.”
A.R. Burkot, in a 1974 Creek Pebbles article about that spring’s increased number of campus streakers
Allen went on to teach high school English in New Hampshire for 36 years, borrowing from many of the teaching techniques he learned from Burkot.
“I had taken his class on word origins, where we mastered Greek and Latin origins of English words, and in turn, I passed on what I'd learned to my seniors,” Allen said. “Invariably, when one of my former students would return to visit me, they would comment on how helpful the word origin lessons had been to them in college. That’s how one person's influence can go far beyond any classroom.”
Jerry Burkot said these stories about his dad are countless. Growing up, he said it wasn’t unusual for students and their parents to show up at his family’s front door with a country ham or some other token of thanks for Dean Burkot’s efforts.
Now retired, Jerry was co-owner of a successful school supply company, Bender-Burkot, which led him to travel throughout the state on a regular basis. Everywhere he’d go, he said, he’d run into somebody with a connection to Campbell. And ultimately, that person had nothing but praise for Jerry’s father.
“They’d say, ‘I was on the verge of dropping out, and your dad went out of his way to make sure I made it,’” Jerry said. “He did those oneon-one classes a lot, especially for those seniors who lacked a few hours to graduate on time. I don’t know how many colleges would do that or do that today, but my dad did it regularly at Campbell. And many of those people went on to do quite well.”
Robert Kautzman (’68) was one of them. Kautzman remembered the stories his uncle, Wilbert Kautzman (’38) told about Campbell in the ’30s and the new young dean everybody loved.
“Whether it was because they were both originally from Pennsylvania, the fact that Campbell was a small junior college at that time or whatever, my uncle got to know Dean Burkot very well,” Kautzman said. “My uncle always said Campbell would not be Campbell without Burkot, and that he was a man of integrity and deep commitment to his school.”
Kautzman wasn’t the best student in high school and didn’t have any prospects for college until his uncle called Burkot one day and put in a good word about his character.
“Dean Burkot said, ‘Send him down to summer school, and we’ll see what we can
do,’” said Kautzman, who went on to earn a degree in geology, went to graduate school and worked 30-plus years in the petrochemical industry in Texas before retiring to teach geology at LeTourneau University. “I have both my uncle and Dean Burkot to thank for opening a door to what has turned out to be a fantastic career. For that, I will never forget either of them.”
Marie Mason (’41) was Campbell’s first registered nurse in the early ’40s, a title she held while a student seeking a liberal arts degree. She shared a suite in Layton Dorm with the Burkot family at the time, and often babysat his oldest son.
Mason, now 97, said in addition to Burkot’s many official titles, his most important “nonofficial” title was Mr. Fix-It.
“I don’t care what happened on campus, you called Dean Burkot,” she said from her home in Raleigh. “If something was on fire, you called him right after the fire department. If something was leaking, you called him.”
Jerry Burkot said his father responded to all cries for help, no matter how trivial.
“The guys would plan panty raids on occasion, and to make it easier for them, the girls in Treat Hall would just throw their underwear out of the window so the guys wouldn’t go through their things, I guess,” Jerry said. “Of course, there’s my dad out there climbing the trees and taking it all down. He was a fast little fella then … and his job was to put a stop to all of that nonsense. You couldn’t do that in Buies Creek.”
One of the few tangible legacies of Alexander Roman Burkot at Campbell University is Burkot Hall, a three-story dormitory built in the 1970s that houses female students today.
But his real impact lives on in his students, many of whom jump at the chance to talk about their memories of “Dean Burkot.”
“When I think of those who have most influenced me and my life, Dean Burkot is near the top of my list,” said Catherine Hodges (’68), a former French major who also benefited from a one-student summer class in 1968 in order to graduate a semester early.
“Strong, yet compassionate,” wrote Burkot's friend, the late Glen R. Rasmussen, “Dean Burkot loved and remembered his students, and
they loved and remembered him. Indeed, he had a deep appreciation and respect for all people in all walks of life. And they admired and respected him.”
Former Major League pitcher and Cy Young Award winner Jim Perry (’59) called Burkot a mentor and one of the men responsible for his success. Gilbert credits Burkot with setting her on the path to become a teacher. And Shearin said he’s convinced that were it not for Burkot, “Campbell would have folded during the Depression years.”
Sure, Burkot had chances to go elsewhere. He was once offered an academic dean position at UNC-Chapel Hill, according to Jerry Burkot.
“My sister Betty actually made more money the first year she taught middle school in Raleigh than Dad made as a vice president at Campbell,” he said. “So he certainly didn’t stay at Campbell for the money. He stayed because he loved it. He loved what he did.”
Burkot fought pancreatic cancer for almost a year before he died on Nov. 8, 1984. According to his son, he hid his diagnosis from the general population at Campbell and worked all the way up to a few months before his death. The 1984 Pine Burr yearbook, published six months before his passing, wrote of his tenure: “At 73, Dr. Burkot is still going on strong. He views teaching as being good for his health, keeping his faculties alert. He says, ‘In the absence of the routine I have had, I very easily would fall into idelness.’”
Now 72, Jerry Burkot still has a shed full of articles about his father and books, files and other artifacts from his father’s nearly 50year career at Campbell. Little of it has been organized, Jerry Burkot admits, but that’s fitting, because A.R. Burkot was never a very organized person.
When asked about his father’s legacy and what he meant to Campbell and its students, he immediately recalls a time when he was a child, still living in the dorms, and his father became a father to hundreds of young men.
“The cafeteria back then closed on Sunday evenings so employees could go to church,” Jerry Burkot said, “which meant students often had to fend for themselves. Dad’s students at Layton Hall were a bunch of growing boys with great appetites, so every weekend, he’d go to Mr. Dixon’s store and get what he needed to make a big pot of stew. Dad cooked for that whole dorm. And that made an impression on those boys — he treated them like family. Those who worked with dad or were his students, they didn’t see him as just a professor or just a dean — he was family. And my mother, too … everybody loved her.
“That was their legacy at Campbell. That’s what people remember all these years later.”

My granddaddy had the gift of feeding people — both in the spiritual and culinary sense. I’m fortunate enough to have inherited his love of cooking. As a little girl, I spent hours in his tiny, humid kitchen watching him stoop over the sink peeling apples for a pie or washing cabbage leaves for one of his polish specialties. He had a cake tin on top of the fridge that usually housed his infamous creamy cheesecake. He taught me how to spit watermelon seeds as you’re eating a slice and what goes into a “fizz” (ginger ale and vanilla ice cream). When my family moved to California, he would visit us with two suitcases — one of which was entirely dedicated to food.
In all my kitchens, a handsome picture of a 30-ish Dr. Burkot has sat near my stove, and I find myself talking to him when I need a wise cook’s advice. My uncle, Jerry Burkot, gave me his original cheesecake pan, which I treasure more than any fancy piece of cookware.
Now that I’ve relocated back to my Southern roots, I feel especially connected to him, whether it’s stopping at a roadside farm stand or walking into a hole-in-the-wall barbecue joint thinking, “Granddaddy would really appreciate this.”
My Granddaddy passed away when I was too young to truly appreciate all the things I could learn from him. But now I honor him whenever I cook tasty food for people I love.

When Campbell University announced publicly on Nov. 8, 2012, that it was going to expand “Greek Life” to include social fraternities and sororities in 2013, the response from students and alumni was passionate. About half of those who took to social media wrote the equivalent of “It’s about time.”
The other half, however, were against the idea. Some appeared to be very against it.
Joseph “Miles” Wobbleton, a native of Greenville who was beginning his sophomore year at Campbell when he first heard the news, leaned heavily at the time against the idea. His impression of fraternities as a whole had been molded by movies like “Animal House” and other depictions that associated Greek Life with heavy drinking, heavy partying, poor grades and farm animal mascots living in frat houses.
What a difference a year makes.
Today, Wobbleton is not only one of about 60 Campbell students set to be initiated into what will soon become Campbell’s first chartered fraternity — Kappa Sigma Fraternity — he’s president (or “grand master”) of the local colony and now one of the university’s most vocal proponents of the new Greek Life system.
“I get the concerns people have, because I had them, too. But I gave it a chance, and once I started learning about what Campbell’s trying to do here, it changed my mindset,” said Wobbleton. “Some fear Greek Life will change Campbell for the worse. I just see things differently now … these organizations bring many new possibilities for our school to grow and become a better experience for students.”
Two fraternities — Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta — and the Sigma Alpha Omega sorority make up Campbell’s first social Greek organizations. Already, about 100 students total are involved in the organizations, and
future semesters should mean the inclusion of more Greek organizations, according to Dennis Bazemore, vice president for student life at Campbell and the man tasked with making sure Greek Life at Campbell doesn’t live up to the stereotypes visible on some campuses.
Bazemore said the idea was nothing new to Campbell’s administration. Every year since he became vice president in 2003, he has been approached by students asking why Campbell doesn't have fraternities or sororities. A 1977 graduate of Campbell, Bazemore said he’s very aware of the concerns many have with the idea, but the constant inquiries were what led him to at least consider introducing Greek Life.
“It comes up with students being recruited to Campbell, it comes up with admissions, [and] it comes up with students who are here,” he said. “I took on the task of researching other schools … and we saw that a large majority of schools, many of which are just like
Campbell, have Greek Life on their campuses. We decided that for recruiting and retention and for a continuing enhancement of campus life, this would be another initiative to help the university continue to grow.”
Suitcase campus. Two words — assigned to schools with so little to do on the weekends, many of their students pack their suitcases and head home — few growing universities want to be associated with.
Yet, for all that Campbell has going right for it in recent years, “suitcase campus” is one label it can’t seem to shed. Kendall Tart, president of Campbell’s first social sorority, thinks Greek Life will go a long way in making weekends in Buies Creek attractive enough for students to stick around.
“Is it going to completely solve all of Campbell’s suitcase problems?” said Tart, who heads Sigma Alpha Omega, a Christian sorority founded at North Carolina State in 1998. “No, but no one organization will. This is just offering another way and opportunity for students to get involved.”
Sigma Alpha Omega, like Kappa Sigma, is having success attracting students in its first year. With 24 chapters nationally, the sorority averages between six and 10 members for each founding class. Campbell’s chapter has the largest founding class in the sorority’s history
with 24 members.
One of the “sells” to the new members is the chance to get involved on campus. Already, SAO is planning campus-wide events like a 5K to raise money for cancer research organizations and other events that will not only promote philanthropy, but friendship and “sisterhood” as well. In early November, all 24 girls spent a weekend retreat at Topsail Beach, where they cooked dinner together, painted, played games and shared their testimonies … all in the spirit of bonding, said Tart, a junior from Benson.
“Until then, the whole semester was about checking things off a list and trying to get everything up to standards,” she said. “It’d been all business and no play, but the retreat allowed us to get to know each other better on a personal level, not just an academic one.”
Until this semester, weekends in Buies Creek for Will Greene, a sophomore from Mooresville, were sadly repetitive.
“On a typical weekend, you sit in your room and watch TV,” Greene said. “You can go to the football games if there's a home game, and that's about it. You always hear college is supposed to be the most fun four years of your life … and it wasn’t like that for me [my freshman year]. That’s some of what we’re trying to do here — make college fun.”
Founded in 1869 at the University of Virginia, Kappa Sigma has 316 active chapters and colonies in North America In 2012, the fraternity pledged more men than any other fraternity in the U.S. Currently, 60 male students make up the founding pledge class of Campbell’s Kappa Sigma colony. The fraternity is expected to earn its charter in early December and will begin recruiting its next pledge class in the spring.
Founded in 1998 at North Carolina State University, Sigma Alpha Omega has 24 active chapters nationally. A Christianbased sorority, the group focuses on setting good moral examples for their peers and their communities. Campbell’s Sigma Alpha Omega earned its charter on Nov. 15. The charter class consists of 24 members.
Founded in 1848 at Miami (Ohio) University, Phi Delta Theta has 169 active chapters and colonies in 43 state and five Canadian provinces. It initiated more than 228,000 men between 1848 and 2007 and has 142,000 living alumni. The fraternity is expected to begin recruitment at Campbell University in the spring.
Greene, along with Wobbleton, is one of five members of Kappa Sigma’s “executive council.” Like SAO, Kappa Sigma is focusing on philanthropy (community service is one of the many prerequisites for the colony to earn its charter), but the group is also trying to turn around the university’s “suitcase campus” image.
“I have friends at other schools who live 10 minutes away from their parents, and some of them haven’t been home all year,” said Keith Boyette, a Garner sophomore and member of Kappa Sigma’s executive council. “That’s because there’s always something to do, and we’re trying to help change that here. We want our fraternity and other Greek Life organizations to be the reason why people choose not to go home over the weekends. We want there to always be something going on, and we’re talking events for everybody.”
Already, the organizations are visible across campus. They shared a Greek Life float during the 2013 Homecoming parade, and Kappa Sigma has run a well-attended tailgating tent at football games this season.
“I think the more opportunities Campbell gives to students to get involved, the more willing they’re going to be to stay [on campus],” said Tart. “If you feel a connection with a group, you’re not going to want to leave the group, therefore you aren’t going to want to leave Campbell. So I think sororities, and just Greek Life in general, are a niche for people like myself who hadn’t really found that one particular group they fit in with.”
Bazemore said he believes with more organizations joining Campbell’s Greek Life system, more students will have fuller social schedules. Many of those events, he said, will have a positive impact on the university.
“We will see them as a body of brothers or sisters at various athletic events and other university events in a very supportive way,” he said. “And I think we will see them in some competition with each other, which will bring an interesting dynamic to the university from time to time. They’ll have both formal and informal events, which will be different for us as a university, but I think will be a good sign of the kind of work they are doing. Their engagement will just add to the retention of these students on our campus.”
The Nov. 8, 2012, Greek Life announcement on Campbell University’s Facebook page garnered 42 comments from alumni and current students. Thirty-eight of the 42 comments expressed an opinion that day, and of those, 18 had something positive to say about the news, while 20 comments expressed concern or flat-out discontent.
One of those “against” commenters was alumna Danielle Cooley (‘03 MBA, BBA), today a financial advisor in Durham. Cooley said she feared Campbell was “heading in the wrong direction” and choosing student retention over a quality education. Almost a year later, her view is unchanged.
“Fraternities and sororities bring negative
images of bullying, hazing, binge drinking and elitism,” said Cooley, who was a member of the business fraternity Alpha Kappa Psi while at Campbell. “I remember Campbell fondly as a place that focused on quality friendships and quality education. I don’t think Campbell can avoid the negative impacts of Greek Life, because no one can. I think they will quickly discover that Greek Life does not fit on the main campus. And if I’m wrong, good for Campbell.”
According to a 2012 article in the USA Today, there has been at least one hazing-induced death per year across college campuses since 1975, and the majority of those deaths were a result of binge drinking. Movies like “Animal House” in 1978, “Revenge of the Nerds” in 1984, and, more recently, “Old School” in 2003 depict fraternities and sororities as party-heavy, alcohol-abusing groups with very little thought of succeeding academically.
Bazemore is well aware of the concerns of students, alumni and administration. He knows the stereotypes. He also believes the policies put in place by the university will keep the “negatives” at a minimum.
“From the time we first talked about it until now, there have been questions raised about how negative Greek Life could be for Campbell or how the stereotypes of Greek Life will cause some to worry that those things will happen here,” Bazemore said. “We put together a Greek Life task force early last year, and that task force worked throughout the academic year and developed a very
Last year’s announcement that Campbell would allow social fraternities and sororities on campus after 126 years of Greek-free living sparked a debate on social media. On Facebook, the responses were decidedly mixed. The following are just a few examples of those “for” and “against” the idea (edited for length and clarity):
“Campbell keeps improving the experience for the students! I'm proud to hear that and think that this will add to the diversity of the university. I'm thrilled for the students and must admit a tad jealous of the experience of current students and that which awaits future students.”
— Tim Prentice
“I think this is great. It gives us students something else to do and it doesn't mean Campbell is going to go down hill. This will build better relationships with students and get more activities going on at campus. This is is a win-win for everyone.”
— Shelby Hakes
“I am not a fan. Campbell is not known for Greek Life. We're known for our Baptist roots and academics. That is why I wanted to be a student of this university.”
— Amber Long
“This is not the Campbell I fell in love with on my first visit. It is not the place that felt like home. I love Campbell and can't see myself anywhere else, but I don't like the changes that have been made.”

lengthy and thorough policy manual for Greek Life on our campus. It’s very detailed with all kinds of guidelines for the fraternities and sororities that will be here.”
Bazemore said every national organization the school has hosted thus far has agreed to work under the university’s policies should they attempt to seek a charter at Campbell.
“Our Greek Life policies sort of supersede anybody else’s policies or they will work together hand-in-hand,” he added.
According to Wobbleton, Kappa Sigma’s “check list” to earn a charter includes extensive community service and charitable work hours, mandatory study hours, involvement in organizations outside of the fraternity, a certain accumulative GPA and attendance at several workshops and other “character-building” programs. A process that has taken previous chapters up to two years to complete, Campbell’s Kappa Sigma colony is expected to finish its prerequisites in early December — exactly three months after its founding date.
“They really expected us to be done in March,” he said, “but we made our community service hours in under a month.”
Wobbleton said Kappa Sigma will be adamant in donating more to charity than other campus organizations and doing more community service than the average Campbell group, because he knows it will take that kind of effort to change people’s minds about Greek Life in Buies Creek.
“I’ve been told we’re going to be under strict scrutiny, since we’re the first,” he said. “If anything happens, we’ll be called into Bazemore’s office, so to speak, the very next day. And that’s good. We’re ready for that responsibility. We’re going to hold ourselves accountable.”
Sigma Alpha Omega goes a few steps further in its requirements with mandatory Bible studies and an outright ban on alcohol, according to Tart. For those worried about stereotypes, she said SAO was a good choice to become Campbell’s first sorority.
“SAO’s morals, values and ethics align very closely with Campbell’s; it is a highly spiritual, Christian organization,” she said. “So it was easy for them to say yes to Campbell, and it was easy for Campbell to say yes to them. It was just a good fit.”
The aforementioned USA Today article also points out several positives regarding Greek Life. Since 1825, all but three U.S. presidents were members of a fraternity. About 85 percent of Fortune 500 executives were part of Greek Life. The first female astronaut and senator were Greek.
And college graduation rates are 20 percent higher among Greeks (which number about nine million nationally) than non-Greeks.
As with the stereotypes, Bazemore is well aware of these numbers, too.
“I think that the data from Greek Life shows us that these students are strong academically,” he said. “We also will see in Greek Life opportunities for leadership development, community service, philanthropy. We’re teaching young men and women leadership skills, we’re teaching them to be good community citizens and we’re teaching them to give something of themselves to the community. Many of them graduate on time because there is an academic component of a GPA requirement with these groups. So I think it’s going to be positive for Campbell in many different ways.”
A third group and another nationally strong fraternity, Phi Delta Theta, has announced it will begin recruitment at Campbell next spring. The initial Board of Trustees vote in 2012 stated that up to four fraternities and sororities will be allowed on campus through
the 2013-2014 year.
SAO Paddle Committee Chairman Kristen Radtke said her sorority will welcome new sororities and will only make Campbell’s Greek “community” stronger.
“Only having one sorority makes it harder for some girls to find what they like or find a place where they feel comfortable,” she said. “One sorority really limits girls to feeling like they have to choose between being in one or not. Students should have the chance to choose the right Greek organization that fits them well.”
In the meantime, Radtke said her sorority is taking it upon itself to set a standard at Campbell. Setting the right tone is on Wobbleton’s mind as well.
“To whom much is given, much is expected,” he said. “We feel a lot of responsibility, as Campbell has given us so much to make this happen.”
Being first and carrying the label of “founding father” adds to the responsibility, but Wobbleton and his new brothers like the idea they’re making history.
“A friend of mine told me that for years, future pledges will know our names and where we’re from because we started it,” he said. “We’re a part of history — we’re the guys who started Greek Life. That’s pretty cool, too.”
Becoming drummer for one of music’s hottest acts didn’t happen overnight for Mike McKee (’06), it was a process built on practice, networking and determination
BY BILLY LIGGETT
The haunting, rattling chains of ‘Bottom Of The River’ and booming bass drum beats of ‘Dance In The Graveyard’ really came to life during the band’s show at New York City’s Irving Plaza last night, and brought a new sense of energy to the crowd that was, at times, a bit restless.

Growing up, Mike McKee (’06) liked to hit things. Anything. Pots and pans, garbage can lids, box fans, various kitchen appliances — you name it. If striking it with a stick made a neat sound, 11-year-old Mike included it in his “drum set” and wailed away.
And instead of discouraging their son and his racket, Mike’s parents — both piano teachers — liked the imagination he showed and were happy to see him find his musical identity.
“He showed a keen ability with sound and discovering different kinds of sounds and different rhythms,” said Mike’s father, Richard McKee, today an associate professor of music at Campbell University. “So as he got older, he began putting his own drum kit together … piece by piece, as economically as possible.”
Fast forward to June 2012 — Mike McKee is the drummer for Durham-based Delta Rae, a band making its national television debut on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They’re performing their hit, “Bottom of the River,” a song that would score the band millions of new fans a year later by its inclusion in the trailer for HBO’s ratings beast, “True Blood.”
There with his four bandmates on the Tonight Show stage is McKee, donning his signature black fedora. Instead of drums, McKee is standing behind an overturned trash can, rattling it with a thick metal linked chain.
McKee is once again that 11-year-old boy making music with items you’d likely find in a tool shed. The only difference is his audience, which on this night had grown by just a few million.

So, have you ever wondered what would happen if you took the sweet male-female harmonies of Fleetwood Mac, the grittiness of Mumford & Sons and then blended them with the stompy fervor of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" and some bluegrass twang? OK, we actually have wondered that, and we can now confirm that the answer is Delta Rae. — mtv.com
Like his early drum set, Mike McKee’s rise to Delta Rae didn’t happen all at once.
It was the product of years of practice, his fair share of failures and lots of networking.
As teenagers, McKee and his younger brother Mark (who played bass) formed a band with Mike’s friends and practiced in their parents’ home, since the drummer is typically the guy who has to host rehearsals (it’s tougher to move drums around). Mike enrolled at Campbell in 2002 and juggled playing
music (with bands ranging from country to Christian rock), working and going to school (switching majors from business to Spanish early on).
He also managed to meet his wife Melinda. The two met as freshmen in a Spanish class and started out as simply friends, Melinda recalled. That friendship became stronger when the two played together in a band called One Less Frame as sophomores.
“I remember some friends teasing me about him being interested [beyond friends],” Melinda said, “but I swore they were wrong. That was a constant theme throughout college — our friends declaring we were going to end up together, and me hearing none of it.”
Three years after graduation, the two were both living in Raleigh. By this time, Mike was asking Melinda about dating. Even then, she was hesitant.
“After a few months of awkwardness, I found myself thinking a lot about what a smart, talented, handsome and incredibly compassionate guy he was, and a switch just kind of flipped.”
The two married in 2010, eight years after meeting in that Spanish class. And at that time, Mike McKee was still trying to build a career in music, whether that meant playing gigs or “running sound” at events or parties. It was the latter that led to his first contact with Eric Hölljes, one of the founding members of Delta Rae.
McKee was working a fraternity party at Duke University, and Hölljes was playing keyboard for hip hop artist Mike Posner at the party. Posner had a Top 10 single in 2010 with “Cooler Than Me,” but McKee came away from the gig focused on Hölljes.
“I just thought he was fantastic,” McKee recalled. “I found him after they played, and said if he ever wanted to do anything else, I was interested in making music with him. And so I gave him my card.”
A year and a half later, Hölljes, his brother Ian and sister Brittany (along with vocalist Elizabeth Hopkins) formed Delta Rae in Durham. Needing a drummer six months in, Hölljes found the “drummer-for-hire” card McKee gave him and invited him to audition. McKee said it took only the first few notes on the demo tape he was given
to convince him Delta Rae was the band he needed to be in. The gig he was destined for.
“There’s a certain spark music can ignite in you,” McKee said. “You can hear something really good and like it, but there are other moments where it hits you in a place you didn’t expect. It grabs you and takes you somewhere else. This band did that for me, and I knew immediately I had to be a part of it. Before the audition, I learned the material more thoroughly than anything I’d learned before.”
That band was Delta Rae, and Stein took a listen simply as a favor. The story goes — he was “blown away.”
The Hölljes siblings, Hopkins, McKee and bassist Grant Emerson had released a fivetrack EP in 2009, and with their new record label, they released their debut full-length album, “Carry the Fire,” in June 2012.
Soon came the Tonight Show. Then a tour with budding artist ZZ Ward. Later a single featuring Fleetwood Mac guitarist
In theory, Delta Rae’s music is Americana folk rock. In practice, it’s a bit more complicated: bluesy and soulful, sometimes gentle and melodic, sometimes aggressive and visceral —and always rich with textured four-part harmonies. From howling gospel-inspired choruses to mellow bluegrass-tinged guitar riffs, everything’s fair game.
— Time Magazine
The story goes that legendary music mogul Seymour Stein — the vice president of Warner Bros. Records, chairman of Sire Records and the man who signed Madonna, Depeche Mode and other huge names — was at Duke University Hospital in Durham with his daughter, who was being treated for a brain tumor. He developed a rapport with his daughter’s doctor, and a month later, the doctor brought up a local band during a conversation.
Lindsey Buckingham. Then another Tonight Show gig. The “True Blood” partnership. Performances in mammoth music festivals like Austin City Limits, the Life is Good festival in Boston and VooDoo Fest in New Orleans. Recently, the band played Conan.
It’s the kind of success many bands strive for, but very few achieve. Still, McKee is humble about the band’s current fame and said it still has a long way to go before he's content.
“It’s nice, but it definitely doesn’t feel ‘big’ yet,” McKee said. “We still travel in a van. We eat at Subway. We’re still humbled by our rooming situation sometimes.”
But the ride has allowed McKee to play the same venues and the same festivals as some of his music idols. In Gulf Shores, Ala., he met Steve Ferrone, Tom Petty’s drummer and, as he put it, McKee “acted like a total fanboy.”
In an interview with a Milwaukee paper over the summer, rocker Melissa Etheridge called Delta Rae “the new Fleetwood Mac” when asked about the bands she currently listens to.
“The critics aren’t always as nice, but to hear something like that from someone like Melissa Etheridge — veterans of this industry — and knowing they like your art … that’s fantastic,” McKee said.
Four strong vocalists, oozing with spine-chilling harmonies and paralyzing percussion, Delta Rae embodies gospel to rock, drenched with folk.

“Bottom of the River,” at its conception, was intended to be a cappella.
No chains. No trash cans. McKee wasn’t having that. “I just said, ‘I gotta lay into this song,’” McKee said. “I couldn’t sit on the sidelines and be there when this song blew up.”
Trash cans and chains have been done before, so McKee wasn’t reinventing the wheel by including them. But he knew it was the right sound for this song.
You can’t argue with the results.
“We’re very proud of Mike, and I guess you can say we’re amazed as well,” Richard McKee said. “We’re not amazed that things have worked out, because we knew he’d be successful. But it’s his absolute persistent diligence — doing what needs to be done to succeed. Whether it’s networking, making people feel at ease around him or his willingness to do what it takes to improve himself and his band. Step by step, he’s built this career, and none of it was easy. So we’re amazed with Mike. Maybe there’s a better word, but I’ll stick with that one.”
His wife has another word — inspirational.
“I don’t think I could be more proud of him,” she said. “People don't tend to think about how hard his kind of life can be. Living out his dream also means accepting a lifestyle that is pretty grueling physically, mentally and emotionally. But every single day he dives after it with passion, grace and the most intense work ethic I think I've ever witnessed.”
J. Rich Leonard became a father again and wrote his first book in his 50s. Now he's ready for another challenge as the new dean of Campbell Law.
BY BILLY LIGGETT
At age 62, J. Rich Leonard is without a doubt the oldest father in the room dancing with his 8-year-old daughter at her ballet recital.
He's also having the most fun.
“If there's anything that keeps you from being rigid, predictable or frozen in time, it’s having small children,” Leonard says.
Becoming a dad again this late in life also helped prepare Leonard to make another lifealtering decision this past year. After a 32-year career as a U.S. judge (nearly 20 of those years as a U.S. bankruptcy judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina), Leonard became the fifth dean of Campbell University's Norman A. Wiggins School of Law in Raleigh, following Melissa Essary (2006-12) and Interim Dean Keith Faulkner (2012-13) on July 15.
Like fatherhood, becoming dean of the only law school in North Carolina’s capital city was viewed not only as a challenge, but an adventure for Leonard, who had served as an adjunct professor for Campbell and other law schools in the region in recent years.
“You look at your life and realize you only go around one time, so you want as many exciting adventures as you can find,” Leonard says. "I was a judge, I was good at it, and I loved it. I don’t think anybody loved it more than I did. But the [deanship offer] came, and I saw it as refreshing and invigorating. The more I thought about it, the more excited I got about taking on this challenge and giving it my all.
“And so far, it feels like I made the right decision.”
At a time when law schools across the nation are seeing sharp declines in enrollment and employment opportunities for new graduates, Campbell Law remains steady enrollment-wise and is still enjoying the fruits of the school’s decision to move its campus from Buies Creek to downtown Raleigh in 2009.
“I think all the moves this school made in the last few years have been solid," Leonard says. “The decision to move to Raleigh was made for the survival of this law school ... If you look at polls, most new law students say the
biggest deciding factor in choosing their school is location. Where you go for three years is important. Being in Raleigh has been critical for this school's success."
Leonard’s focus in his first few months on the job has been the curriculum. He believes a student’s third and final year should be less about academic electives and more about courses and degree paths that provide more opportunities post-graduation. One way to do that is to add more to Campbell’s growing list of dual degree programs. Campbell Law currently offers six such programs, including two with North Carolina State University, and most recently added a Law/Divinity program in August.
“There will always be a place for traditional law practice, and we’ll train you better for that than anyone else,” he says. “But law is changing, and lawyers need to be trained to do many different things.”
Leonard also wants to expand Campbell Law’s externship program, which already ranks 27th in the nation when it comes to the percentage of students who participate, according to The
J. Rich Leonard, former United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina, assumed the role of dean at Campbell University’s Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law on July 15.
A native of Davidson County, Leonard is a 1971 graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he was a Morehead Scholar. He earned a master's degree in education from UNC-Chapel Hill in 1973, and then earned a law degree from Yale Law School in 1976.
He has served as a United States Bankruptcy Judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina since 1992 acting as Chief Judge from 1999 through 2006. Prior to that time, he was a United States Magistrate Judge (1981-92) and Clerk of Court of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (1979-92). Leonard worked as an adjunct professor for North Carolina Central University School of Law (1985-86; 199598); UNC School of Law (1994-95); and, most recently, Campbell Law (2009-13). In 2012, Campbell Law’s Delta Theta Phi Fraternity presented him with the Judge Everett Award for Legal Excellence.
Leonard is married to Dr. Whitney Jenkins Cain, an associate professor of psychology at William Peace University. He is the proud father of three sons and two daughters.
National Jurist. The school is ideally located just blocks from every branch of state government, and the opportunities abound for students to go out and get real world experience.
“Campbell’s curriculum, both the rigor and the emphasis on advocacy, is fine,” he says. “We’re not going to back away from that. But what I think, and I think Dean Essary would agree, where the law school is beginning to make strides is how we’re using the City of Raleigh and the Research Triangle as a lab to train lawyers. I think that’s what I can do for this place — retain the rigor and retain the core elements that distinguish Campbell grads, but also find all sorts of unique and intriguing educational opportunities for our students. Get them out in the community in externships and give them a much clearer eye of what practicing law is all about. This will differentiate us from what you’d get from your average academic setting.”
His aunt told many times the story of the day Leonard declared to the world he wanted to get into law. It’s an account Leonard has no recollection of, he admits, but the story is a good one and one worth hanging on to.
It was a hot, dewy August morning, and Leonard was 11 or 12 years old, working several back-breaking hours in the tobacco field at his parents’ home in Davidson County. Fed up with the work, Leonard stood up and told everyone, “This is for the
birds! I’m going to law school.”
Leonard says he probably wanted to be a doctor around that time, but he’ll never question his aunt. Regardless, one thing about the story is true — Leonard knew he wasn’t cut out for farm life.
“I’ve never been remote from my family, and the family farm is still there and is still my favorite place on earth,” he says. “It was just very clear to me at an early age that that’s not what I wanted to do. I wanted to be something else. And I think, objectively, I’ve had a pretty good career.”
Leonard was the first student from North Davidson High School to win a Morehead Scholarship from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and four years later, he graduated at the top of his class at UNC. He was then accepted into Yale Law School, considered by most the most difficult school to get into.
He credits his public education and his love for reading any and every book placed in front of him for his academic success early on.
“I had a couple of remarkable teachers, which is why I’m a huge fan of public education,” he says “My high school English teacher, whom I had three of my four years, was one of those remarkable people. She was just magical. She’d ask things of us no teacher ever asked before. We wrote daily every single
day for three years in her class. We wrote in every perspective … it was just brilliant the time she was willing to put into us.”
Leonard earned his master’s in education from UNC in 1973 and his law degree from Yale in 1976. He was turned down after his first interview to be a law clerk in New Bern when the judge there learned he “had the audacity to attend Yale,” but a more “forgiving” judge, Judge Franklin Dupree, took him on as a clerk for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
From there, the doors kept opening.
After practicing law for a few years, Leonard became a United State magistrate judge in 1981. He remained a clerk of court through 1992 before serving as a U.S. bankruptcy judge for the Eastern District of North Carolina in 1992. He was the chief judge from 1999 to 2006. For over a decade, Leonard also acted as a consultant to the U.S. Department of State, working with judiciaries in many developing countries, primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
In 2012, Leonard put his love for reading and writing to another use — he penned his first fictional book, “The House by the Creek,” a 95-page truth-based tale set in North Carolina about his ancestors during the Revolutionary War. The book has been met with good reviews, including nice writeups in The News & Observer and Our State magazine, and its success has convinced Leonard he may have what it takes to write another book or two.
with the Gertrude S. Carraway Award of Merit from Preservation North Carolina for his work in spearheading the restoration of the historic Century Station Federal Building on Fayetteville Street in Raleigh.
The building, which serves as the home to the downtown Raleigh post office and the federal bankruptcy court, was where Leonard previously presided as bankruptcy judge.
“[The building] had fallen on hard times, but we have really put it back to its original splendor,” Leonard says. “And that’s been exciting. I spent three years camped in basement office, essentially holding court in borrowed courtrooms, working on daily basis with all folks doing the work.”
During his first few weeks on the job, Leonard admits to a few “full-blown panic attacks.”
“Sure, there were a few ‘What have I done?’ moments,” he says with a laugh. “But those have been abated. I’m beginning to feel like this is where I’m intended to be.”
“I come from people who tell stories, as I suppose most rural Southerners do,” Leonard says. “My kids’ favorite stories are about stuff that happened long ago — on the farm when grandpa was a little boy and so on. So this started out as a story for my kids, but as I looked a little deeper into my family history, I found out about my greatgreat-great-great grandfather who was a bit of a minor Revolutionary War hero who fought in the Guilford Courthouse battle and was assassinated by Tories [Americans who favored the British side during the war] for rallying German immigrants to fight for the patriots.”
Leonard is also an award-winning preservationist. In October, he was presented
The faculty, he says, is learning that he’s as transparent as they come. Leonard says he learned early on as a judge not to pretend to know things, because that can get you in trouble on the bench.
“I’m quick to say, ‘Whoa … I don’t understand that.’ I haven’t spent a lifetime in academia,” he says. “On the other hand, what I bring to this job is a judge’s ability to look at all sides of an issue and make a decision. And in many instances, there are many decisions — not just a right one or wrong one.”
Campbell University announced several changes in key academic and administrative positions in 2012 and 2013. Among the major announcements:
Mark L. Hammond
Provost, VP of Academic Affairs
Mark L. Hammond was named vice president of academic affairs and provost in August. Hammond, who was dean of the College of Arts & Sciences since 2001 and a professor of biology at Campbell for 21 years, succeeded Dwaine Greene. As vice president of academic affairs and provost, he serves as the chief academic officer over all campuses.
Michael Wells Dean, College of Arts & Sciences
Michael Wells was named dean of Campbell’s College of Arts & Sciences in August, replacing Mark Hammond. Wells joined Campbell in 1996 as an adjunct professor of chemistry. He became an assistant professor in 1997, and was promoted to associate professor in 2002. Wells became the chair of the Department of Chemistry and Physics in 2007. A year later, he was named the Edna Queener Proffit Chair of Chemistry.
Keith Faulkner Dean, School of Business
B. Keith Faulkner was named the new dean of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business in July. He will replace retiring dean Benjamin Hawkins effective Jan. 1. He first joined Campbell’s law school in 2004. Before becoming its vice dean for administration and external relations, he had held the positions of executive associate dean for academic affairs and administration and associate dean for external relations. Faulkner also served as interim dean of the law school during the 2012-13 academic year.
Campbell University’s football team began the 2013 season in a completely overhauled BarkerLane Stadium on Sept. 7. Gone were the temporary stands and press box that filled in for the program’s first five seasons. In its place stood 25 rows of 3,000-plus additional permanent seats and a two-story tower that houses a modernized press box and a presidential suite level.
The additions double the stadium’s permanent seating capacity to about 5,200, and the additions have added to the atmosphere of fall Saturdays in the Creek.
“From our student-athletes and coaches point of view, this is such a tremendous source of pride,” said Campbell Athletic Director Bob Roller. “Barker-Lane Stadium is now at or near the top of all Pioneer Football League stadiums and many FCS stadiums. We are so grateful to the generous support of Campbell alums and fans who have made this possible.”
Campbell opened the stadium on a definite
high note — a 56-21 win over UVA-Wise, which also marked the first win for new head coach Mike Minter. The attendance for that opener was 5,538, which at the time was the second-biggest crowd in Campbell history (5,845 fans were on hand for Campbell’s first game in 50-plus years against Birmingham Southern in 2008). The following week, Campbell topped even that. A record crowd of 6,044 watched the Camels take on Charleston Southern.
“I played in the stadium last year, and the atmosphere is completely different being on our home sideline with the big stands behind you and the crowd right there,” said junior quarterback Dakota Wolf. “I'm really excited to see the games going forward and the big turnouts if we continue to win. I think we're going to pack this stadium out.”
While the additions have been part of the plan for the stadium since the stadium’s birth, construction on the new home side didn’t begin in earnest until June of this year.
Construction crews from T.A. Loving worked 24 hours a day almost every day from June to the season opener to get the stadium fan-ready. In October, Campbell dedicated the new press tower to sponsor Carlie’s C’s Hometown Proud IGA, a local supermarket chain.
According to Jim Roberts, vice president for business at Campbell University, the new grandstands were built with the football fan in mind. Added legroom means fans won’t always have to stand up to let somebody walk by, Roberts said, and the bleachers are twice as steep as the visitor’s and student seating side, meaning views won’t be obstructed when a taller fan sits in the row ahead.
“It’s the way football was meant to be seen,” Roberts said. “We don’t have a track around our field like some stadiums, so we were able to build this in such a way that our fans — no matter how far up they’re sitting — are close to the field. I’ve been to other college football stadiums [in North Carolina], and the view from our seats beats them all.”
annual homecoming parade. The Dunn native is president and CEO of Warren Oil Co. Inc., and in 2012, he earned the Ernst & Young Carolinas Region Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The W. Irvin Warren Athletic Center at Barker-Lane Stadium bears his name.
With a new coach and a fairly new roster, Campbell University’s basketball team has to work to earn respect in the Big South Conference.
The Camels were picked to finish fifth out of six teams in the conference’s North Division for the 2013-2014 season. Campbell finished 13-20 overall and 7-9 in the league the previous year. High Point and Charleston Southern were picked to defend their division titles.
“When you’re picked high, it’s a compliment, but it kind of puts a target on your back,” said first-year Campbell head coach and former Richmond University assistant head coach Kevin McGeehan.
“When you’re picked low, it’s kind of a motivation. But being new to the league, I really haven’t thought a lot about (preseason) polls. I'm just excited about working with our group, making progress and getting a little better. I think we’ll surprise some people in the Big South this year.”
Former Campbell cross country runners Ken Frenette and David Pitaro were named to the first-ever Big South All-Decade Teams to recognize the student-athletes and coaches who excelled in their respective sport since the conference's founding in 1983.
Frenette established himself as one of the University's top distance runners during his career from 1984-88. He was a two-time Big South Conference cross country individual champion and earned all-conference honors four times, and was a four-time cross country MVP who also earned track MVP honors once. Frenette coached cross country at Campbell for 23 years and was named the Big South Coach of the Year in 1991.
Pitaro ran for Campbell from 1990-93, and won the Big South Championship as a freshman and was named the 1990 Big South Runner of the Year. He was a three-time all-conference nod after sitting out his junior year due to injury.

The odds are long, and the process is grueling to become one of only 125 golfers in the world to earn a PGA Tour card each year. So what are the chances that two of the PGA’s 125 best hailed from a small Baptist university in Buies Creek, N.C., in 2013?
“You probably could have made a safe bet in Vegas that you’d see two Camels here at the same time,” said Brad Fritsch, a 2000 graduate of Campbell. “The odds are long, but hey, a lot of talent goes through that program.”
Fritsch and David Mathis (’97) were a few years apart and just missed out on being teammates at Campbell, but the two have traveled together, roomed together and even teed off in the same pairing together in the past year. And in the process, they’ve shared stories about their days in the Creek. “Lots of stuff goes on on those golf trips, and most of it is pretty funny,” Fritsch said in August at the Wyndham Classic in Greensboro, N.C. “Both his era and mine, it was a good time.”
Mathis was a two-time Big South AllConference performer at Campbell who spent five seasons on the Canadian Tour before earning two wins on the Web.com Tour to secure a spot on the PGA Tour in 2009.
“I always felt like I was going to reach a greater level as a player when I was at Campbell,” Mathis said. “I always believed in myself and had people around me who believed in me as well. Hanging out with Fritsch [on the PGA Tour], I’ve learned he had a similar experience at Campbell.”
Both Fritsch and Mathis experienced a roughat-times 2013, each having to scratch and claw to retain their Tour cards for 2014.
Fritsch, a rookie at 35 and the first golfer from Ottawa to become a PGA Tour regular, missed the cut in Greensboro and finished just outside of the Top 125 (129th) at season’s end. But he came on strong in late September in the final event of the Web.com Tour Championship in Florida — a playoff, of sorts, for players on the fringe — and finished second overall in the tournament and keep his spot on the Tour. His stunning final round (a 4-under 66) came after
missing the cut in the first three of four Web.com tournaments.
Mathis, who at 39 has played on the PGA Tour for four of the past five years, didn’t have quite the same comeback ending as Fritsch in 2013. Despite making the cut and shooting just 1-over at Wyndham, he finished the year ranked 165th in the FedEx Cup rankings and 173rd on the PGA Tour money list. Like Fritsch, he needed to finish strong in the fourevent Web.com Tour to retain his card, but he missed two of the four cuts and finished 30th and 52nd respectively in the other two events.
It’s a spot Mathis has been in before, and he’s confident in his ability to climb his way back into the “big leagues” … a confidence both golfers say they developed at Campbell.
“From a golfing standpoint, as a school where you can learn and really better yourself, [Campbell] is hard to beat,” Mathis said. “Getting here was hard work, and I learned that by constantly believing in myself, I was going to get better. And by God’s grace, I finally made it here … and now it’s a matter of staying.”

Basketball Watkins earns 500th win as Lady Camels head coach
Campbell head coach Wanda Watkins notched her 500th career victory on Nov. 16, with a 73-60 win over Western Carolina inside Gore Arena.
She joins a group of 27 active coaches in Division I with at least 500 wins. Watkins, who was the Camels’ first female scholarship student-athlete, is one of six coaches that has completed 32 seasons at the same institution.
"This is an amazing moment for the history of the Lady Camels' program," Watkins said. "I am honored to have been given the opportunity to have an impact on all the student-athletes and coaches that have worn the Orange and Black. Campbell is a place that I hold dear to my heart and have been grateful for the opportunity that I was given 33 years ago to lead this program."
Following the game, Director of Athletics Bob Roller congratulated coach Watkins and unveiled a banner commemorating the milestone. Before becoming coach, Watkins played for Campbell (1975-79) and served as the team's captain as a senior and earned MVP honors in 1977-78.
Editor's Note: Campbell Magazine will feature Watkins in its upcoming Spring 2014 edition

With all five golfers among the top 11 individuals, Campbell won its Fighting Camel Fall Classic for a sixthstraight time on Oct. 29 at Keith Hills Country Club.
Kaylin Yost shared individual medalist honors, and Campbell set a tournament 54-hole record by finishing at 23-over-par to claim a 10-stroke victory over runner-up Old Dominion in the 11-school field.
A senior from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Yost defended her 2012 FCFC crown and won her third collegiate individual title in the process. She became the fourth Campbell player to win her school's invitational, joining Mara Larrauri (1997, 1998), Laura Torrisi (2000, 2001) and Maite Ortiz de Pinedo (2007, 2008). Campbell won its home tournament for the 15th time in 19 years and for the 13th time in the last 14 occasions the event has been held.
Campbell sophomore Mary Crema tallied 17 digs in the Lady Camels’ 3-0 win over South Carolina State on Oct. 29 to break the program’s single-season digs record with seven regular-season games remaining.
The match put Crema’s season total for digs — a “dig” is tallied when a player stops and successfully passes a hard-driven kill attempt from the other team — at 545, passing Melissa Harvey on Campbell’s all-time list. Harvey set the mark of 539 in 2006. The Loveland, Ohio native finished the season with 682 digs, the fourth-highest by a Big South player in league history.

Like many sisters do, Ashley and Marissa Hartert fought nonstop when they were younger — each too competitive to let the other win.
“We would always do everything together like working out and running,” said Ashley, who is 15 months older. “I remember we would literally try to trip each other so that one person wouldn’t finish before the other.”
Today, the two are best friends who share a unique bond that was brought together by playing soccer for Campbell.
“Being at the same school has been a huge factor in bringing them closer together,” said their mother, Lisa. “Marissa said to me one of the first weekends we came to visit, ‘regardless of the soccer, this is the best decision I’ve made — to be with Ashley. I’d never want to give that up.’”
Although there have been several sisters who have played soccer for Campbell at one time or another, even in back-to-back years, Ashley and Marissa are the only sisters who have ever played Campbell soccer together. But that wasn’t always their plan.
“We played on the same team when we were young, in elementary school, but not again until we were in high school,” explained Ashley, who is a junior studying communications. “Then when we went to college, we went different directions but ended up at the same place.”
Both graduated a semester early from Marvin High School — Ashley in December 2010 and Marissa one year later in December of 2011. Ashley, who plays forward, went on to the University of Tennessee, where she suffered injuries her freshman year and took a redshirt. Marissa, who plays midfield, was recruited by Mercer University. The sisters transferred to Campbell to get more time on the field.
Not only does playing on the same team allow the sisters to challenge one another to become better players, it also challenges their friendship, and makes it stronger. Although the pair only has one class together, after accounting for soccer, studying and the occasional meal together, the sisters spend an average of 10 hours together each day, and that is just when they are in the same location.
“We are constantly texting each other,” said Marissa, the younger of the two who is a sophomore studying pre-pharmacy. “If we’re not texting each other, we’re in a group text together. We don’t live together, but even then, sometimes she sleeps at my place.”
Teammates like junior Alexis Prada enjoy the dynamic that the duo brings to the team.
“They’re best friends and it works with the team because their personalities are completely opposite so they balance out the team and compliment each other,” Prada said. “If I had a sister that I was playing with, I think it would be awesome. There would be no greater joy than sharing something we truly love, and I think they would agree with that.”
The Harterts definitely do agree.
“My biggest soccer memory was in high school winning the state championship, and she was part of that,” Ashley said. “My favorite thing about being on the same team is having Marissa be in the memories that I’ll cherish for the rest of my life.”

Oscar Harris (’65) believes strongly he wouldn’t be where he is today without Campbell University.
The four-term mayor of Dunn, former twoterm North Carolina state senator and owner of accounting firm Oscar N. Harris & Associates says college would have never been possible had it not been for what was then Campbell College in the early 1960s.
“It was the only college I could afford at the time,” said Harris, a native of nearby Spivey’s Corner. “I was a day student — in fact, I was president of the Day Students Club — and I had to drive back and forth from home each day. Had it not been for Campbell, I doubt I would have even gone to college.”
In the nearly 50 years since his college days, Harris has remained close with his alma mater. The former president of Campbell’s alumni association currently serves on the university’s Board of Trustees. He has also served as chairman of the founders’ committee for the newly launched School of Osteopathic Medicine, and one of his proudest moments as a Campbell alumnus came in September at the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the school’s new home, the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences.
Campbell has raised more than $32 million for the school, North Carolina’s first new medical school in 35 years, and the committee served as an advisory board for the fundraising efforts. In three years time, the committee’s fundraising goal jumped from $10 million to $20 million and eventually $30 million, a goal achieved before the start of classes for the medical school’s charter class in August. Campbell President Jerry Wallace said Harris’ leadership was a big reason the school was able to meet its goals.
"Oscar tirelessly advocated for a new medical school at Campbell University and hundreds of alumni and friends stepped forward to make this project a reality,” Wallace said. “We could not be more proud of the results and the leadership of one of Campbell's favorite sons."
Campbell has come a long way since Harris’
time as a student, and he’s thrilled to be a big part of the history being made today.
“This medical school is not only a big deal for Campbell, but for Harnett County and the state of North Carolina as well,” says Harris, who served as a speaker for both the groundbreaking and ribboncutting ceremonies for the new 96,500-squarefoot facility.
“We’re educating doctors who’ll focus on becoming primary care physicians and serving in communities where they’re needed most. And at the same time, this school will be an economic engine for our area and the state. It’s a win-win situation. How can you go wrong in helping people?”
Reaching the $30 million goal was not only the result of hard work by many involved in launching the school, according to Harris, but also the willingness of donors to give — and give more than they were accustomed to.
“Some of those who gave had never given that amount of money to the university before,”
Harris says. “But they did it because of their love for the university and their desire to help our region and our state’s health care industry in any way they could. They could see the benefits this school will have. We’re enhancing the opportunities for students, all while providing better health care. This school is attracting smart students from all over the country, and people are taking notice.”
In his multiple roles at Campbell, Harris is helping the university open doors for students who may otherwise not have had the chance to practice medicine … much like the rural little college opened doors for him as a teenager.
“If you would have told me we’d have a medical school … if you told me back then Campbell would become a university, I would have been amazed and incredibly happy,” Harris says.
“From [presidents] J.A. and Leslie Campbell to Dr. [Norman] Wiggins and Dr. [Jerry] Wallace, Campbell has been blessed with incredible leadership. They’ve done a superb job in developing this university to what it is today. I think Campbell has made its alumni proud, and in turn, the alumni have made Campbell proud.”
Harris also commended the work of his co-vice chairs, Henry Smith and Annabelle Fetterman, in addition to the rest of the committee. He said the entire committee was grateful for the work and leadership of Britt Davis, vice president for university advancement.

Campbell University honored David R. Lewis and Daphne Snell Perry for their professional accomplishments and service to their alma mater with Distinguished Alumni Awards in October during the university’s annual Distinguished Alumni Dinner.
David R. Lewis
Lewis, who received a bachelor’s in business administration from Campbell in 1994, is a tobacco and cotton farmer and resides in Dunn. He was first elected to the N.C. House of Representatives in 2002, and is currently serving his sixth term, representing N.C. District 53.
In the House, Lewis is chair of both the Finance and the Elections committees and vice chair of the Agriculture and Regulatory Reform Subcommittee on Long Government Committees. He’s also a member of about a half-dozen House committees and subcommittees, including Ways and Means, Health and Human Services, and Regulatory Reform. Beyond his service to the House, Lewis is a member of the Central Carolina Community College Harnett County Small Business Advisory Board; the Dunn Kiwanis Club; the Greater Dunn Jaycees; and the Angier, Coats, Dunn, Erwin and Lillington Chambers of Commerce. The Greater Dunn Jaycees presented him with its Distinguished Service Award in 2006.
When he was a student at Campbell, Lewis served terms as student government president, student
government vice-president, sophomore class president, freshman class president and chairman of the Student Government Research Committee.
Daphne Snell Perry
When Perry, a Roper native, graduated from Campbell in 1960 with a degree in business education, she received the Outstanding Student Award and the Vivian Dawson Massey Music Award.
While a student, she was co-captain of the women’s basketball team, the librarian for the Campbell Tour Choir, and a member of the New House Council, Beta Club and May Court.
She also met her husband, Jim Perry, at Campbell. He played basketball for the Camels from 1956 to 1959 and pitched one season. They married in 1960, and Jim went on to pitch in the Major Leagues for 17 years and won the 1970 Cy Young Award when he was with the Minnesota Twins. While they lived in Minnesota, Daphne was a homemaker and taught Sunday school and served as president of the Minneapolis Christian Women’s Club associated with Stonecraft Ministries.
Today, Daphne and her husband live in New London, and they are members of the First Baptist Church in Asheboro. Both are also involved with numerous charitable organizations and events that address societal issues and help disadvantaged individuals, such as victims of sexual exploitation.

Bethany Anne Lind (’04) is quickly gathering a list of distinguished film credits, with roles in "Flight" and "Mean Girls 2," along with countless theater roles over the past few years. Most recently, she’s the lead actress in the Jeff Foxworthyproduced independent film, "Crackerjack," which premiered Sept. 13 in Myrtle Beach.
"We’re hoping a distributor will pick it up to go to a wider southeastern release,” Lind says. “ I saw the final cutting last weekend in Myrtle Beach and I was really happy with [how] it turned out. The audience seemed to enjoy it.”
Lind recently spoke with Campbell University about “Crackerjack,” her background, upcoming projects, and her time at Campbell.
Tell us about the new film Crackerjack. Crackerjack, an independent film executively produced and narrated by Jeff Foxworthy, is about a lovable loser named Crackerjack. [His] girlfriend, the character I play, gets pregnant; and he has to decide if he’s going to face his newfound responsibilities. He stumbles upon this church softball league [while] drunk one nigh and gets involved with them. It’s a wonderful comedy of what he’s going to do with his life from there.
How did your role in "Mean Girls 2" a couple years ago help your career?
I think being in “Mean Girls 2” — and having a good-sized role in that — gave me a bit of legitimacy. In “Crackerjack” I play an actual adult, not a teenager anymore, and that’s good to get me in those doors. And “Crackerjack” is a feature length film, and I had a lead role. Now I’m trying to shift more into TV and film work, but I still do a lot of theater.
What are your aspirations as an actress?
I used to want classic roles, like Emily in “Our Town” or Nora in “A Doll’s House.” But there are so many great young playwrights these days [and] roles I haven’t even thought of. I used to say I just wanted to keep working, and that’s true; but again, keep it all in perspective. It’s great that I have these opportunities right now, but I know they can be taken away at any time. There’s lots of non-working actors out there, and I’m so grateful to be working right now.
Your husband, Eric Mendenhall, is also a Campbell graduate and actor who has appeared in the movies “Trouble With the Curve,” “What to Expect When You’re Expecting,” “Lawless” and the Jackie Robinson biopic “42.” How have you two influenced each other?
We definitely spur each other on. This business can be really tough and discouraging. You have to learn to deal with rejection. We help each other keep it in perspective, and know that each job isn’t the end of the world. It’s good to have someone who is going through that with you.
How did Campbell help prepare you for your acting career?
I was on the main stage fall of my freshman year [and] anyone who goes to a bigger university can’t say that. You don’t get onstage until your junior year. [Faculty at Campbell] were always giving me opportunities to grow and learn. I don’t know if I would have gotten that individual attention if I went to a bigger university, which was pivotal for me and the career that I have now.

When Jason Butler (’01) agreed to plant the Transformation City Church in Milwaukee, Wis., six years ago, his goal was to establish a hipster urban church that had great music. But after he moved to the city, “everything changed,” he says, when he “heard the cry of the city.”
There was 12-year-old Mimi, for example. A couple in Butler’s church had moved from the suburbs to a dangerous neighborhood in the city, where they got to know her. The couple discovered that Mimi, who was struggling in school, couldn’t see well. They took her to an eye exam. She needed glasses. The church bought her a pair.
“And her whole life turned around,” Butler says. Her grades improved. Butler baptized her. And she’s now a member of Transformation City.
“For 12 years, she struggled, and then someone got close enough to understand that all she needed was glasses,” Butler says. “Through living close to people who are hurting, we discover all sorts of situations that need love, grace and mercy. That’s what we try to provide as a church. We are called to fight injustices.”
How Transformation City fights injustices is the focus of Butler’s book, “Dangerous Presence: Following Jesus to the City,” which the Wesleyan Publishing House published in October.
“We all live near cities, no matter where we are, and they all have the same stories of brokenness and injustice,” Butler says. “My hope would be to put us on as a journey to ask, ‘What can I do in my back yard that will make a long-term impact in the lives of the poor and oppressed?’”
Though Butler was called to the city, he grew up in the small town of Pearisburg, Va. He knew early he wanted to work in the ministry and received his undergraduate degree in religion from Campbell University. He went on to attend the Asbury Theological Seminary.
He followed that by serving for two years as a missionary in Russia, where he met his wife, Alya. There, he saw children eating orange rinds because they didn’t know when their next meal would come. “I felt I needed to engage in difficult situations where people were suffering,” he says.
The conviction deepened when he moved to Wisconsin. After a short stint as a youth pastor, a district superintendent with the Wesleyan denomination encouraged him to plant a church in Milwaukee. Transformation City held its first service in 2007. “We started wanting to be a cool urban church with great music,” Butler says. “But when I began hearing stories of injustice, I felt so compelled by the Spirit. We had to be a church that dedicated itself to the brokenness of the city.”
In 2009, Transformation City purchased an abandoned duplex in one of Milwaukee’s most dangerous neighborhoods. The church renovated it and turned it into an intentional living community where several church members moved to so they could fully invest in building relationships with marginalized people. Out of that grew Inhabit, a nonprofit Transformation City founded that buys abandoned houses and renovates them to form other intentional living communities.
In addition, in 2012, Transformation City took the lead in founding Exploit No More, a multi-church coalition working to end child sex trafficking and exploitation. The partnership plans to build a safe house to serve the estimated 200 underage girls in the Milwaukee metro area sexually exploited each year.
Transformation City, which today has about 300 members, is also looking for ways to help connect incarcerated African American youth with lawyers. “When I see an injustice,” Butler says, “I feel like the sky is falling and . . . we can’t rest until we’ve dealt with it.”

Alumni who graduated from Campbell University in the late 1950s — a group known for decades as the Polecats — have established the Polecats Endowment to provide financial assistance that supports the university’s Athletic Department and studentathletes.
Specifically, funds from the endowment will support Athletic Department needs not generally considered usual and customary routine expenditures.
It’s expected that this specialized fund will provide support to Campbell Athletics over the next five to seven years with threshold capital of $25,000 and a long-term goal of $100,000. The Polecats Endowment will remain intact in perpetuity with its investment earnings awarded year after year to support the university's student-athletes.
Pledges and contributions from Polecats and their friends to support the endowment began on April 2.
The endowment was the idea of John S. Byrd of Wilson, one of the three co-chairs of the
Polecats Endowed Fund Committee. The other co-chairs are Johnnie D. Strickland of Middlesex, and Henry B. Howard of High Point. All three men graduated from Campbell in 1957.
Jerry C. Wood, assistant vice president of institutional advancement and planned giving at Campbell, guided the development of the Polecats Endowment and prepared the necessary documents to establish the endowed fund as an official entity of the university.
Byrd, Strickland and Howard signed the formative documents at a Polecats gathering at Campbell's Marshbanks Dining Hall on March 26. That same day, the baseball stadium at Campbell was named in honor of fellow Polecat Jim Perry. Perry is a 1959 graduate of Campbell who pitched in the Major Leagues for 17 years and who won the 1970 Cy Young Award when he was with the Minnesota Twins.
Other Polecats attending the meeting when the endowment was signed were Gerald Edwards of Middlesex, George Kornegay Jr. of Mount Olive, Charlie Lindy Mace of Sanford and Douglas Perry of Zebulon.

Staff Sgt. Steven Walther (’13) got the patriotic itch, he says. He was 25 and working in sales in Raleigh, N.C.; his father, brother and two uncles were in the military; and the U.S. was at war in Iraq and Afghanistan. “I was a young, abled-bodied adult,” he says. So he joined the U.S. Army in 2005 and entered an accelerated training program for the Special Forces (aka the Green Berets). He eventually served in Afghanistan in 2009 and 2010 as a medic.
In Afghanistan, he helped set up and operate health clinics and aid stations. That included providing dental exams to Afghans. “That’s where I learned about dentistry and about gum recession,” he says. And that’s what ultimately led him to invent and patent a new toothbrush: the “toof-inger brush.”
“The idea came to me while I was reading a book about body language," Walther says. "There was a section that talked about the human subconscious and how it drives so much of our behavior … how we literally brush away our gums, even though we know that is a bad thing. When I started to think about why we don’t just stop ourselves from brushing too hard, I realized that the source of this issue had the do with the handle of the tool we use to clean our teeth.”
The “toof-inger brush” has a shorter and wider handle with finger grooves that make the brush easier to rotate and encourages users to apply less pressure when brushing their teeth. The brush, consequently, helps prevent gingival recession (or receding gums) and abrasion, which can be caused by over-aggressive brushing, says Walther, who started a small business F.T.G.G. — to market, sell and distribute the “toof-inger brush.”
Currently, Walther’s brush is being piloted by a dental practice in Wake Forest; and this fall, he began selling them on his company’s website. For each toothbrush he sells, he donates one to Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic.
At the same time, he’s using what he’s learning as a Master of Business Administration student at Campbell University’s Research Triangle Park to manage his start-up.
“I couldn’t imagine a better situation to gain clarity and for checks and balance for what I’m doing,” says Walther, who left active duty, transitioned to the Army Reserves in 2011, and went on to work as a health care consultant in Chapel Hill, while completing a Bachelor of Applied Science degree through Campbell’s RTP campus in May 2013.

Each year on the first Saturday of May, Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Hope Mills gathers to celebrate the season and support Campbell University. The church’s annual Spring Festival, which turned 25 last spring, raises money to support Christian higher education and theological education at Campbell and the Divinity School. All proceeds from the event support two scholarships: the Rufus Warren Johnson Scholarship, which provides financial aid to undergraduate students and students in various
grad programs; and the Howard Daniel Williams Scholarship, which aids graduate students in Campbell’s Divinity School.
The festival, which dates back to 1988, raises funds by selling barbecue plates, homemade crafts, fresh strawberries and antiques. It also hosts a car show, and the church’s youth group takes donations through a car wash.
The Rufus Warren Johnson Scholarship is named for the son Jean Johnson and the late Rufus Johnson of Grays Creek. Jean still regularly attends Mount Pisgah. Rufus Warren Johnson died in a car accident in 1976. The scholarship bearing his name has been awarded 130 times.
The Howard Williams Divinity Scholarship is named for the late Howard Williams, who died in 1978. His wife, Eunice Hill, still attends Mount Pisgah. Their granddaughter, Sarah Williams Trexler, of Raleigh, is a Campbell MBA/Trust graduate and current law school student.
