THE BAND’S ALL HERE

After the pandemic all but wiped out marching band appearances in 2020, the Sound of the Sandhills Marching Band returned to start its fourth year in June. The band resumed appearances at Fighting Camel football games and other Campbell events in the fall. The band is currently at 100-plus members, and in addition to football games, smaller pep bands perform at both men’s and women’s basketball games, and different winter groups represent Campbell in competition.

Dr. Miranda van Tilburg’s work on ‘gut-brain connections’ in children is widely known, thanks in part to her influence on social media. Van Tilburg was the recipient of the 2021 D.P. Russ Jr. and Walter S. Jones Sr. Alumni Award for Research Excellence.
