A STRONG SEASON

The Big South Conference regular season champion Campbell baseball team won two games in its opening round NCAA Regional tournament — slugging out big wins over Samford and Virginia Commonwealth — before ultimately ending its season with a hard-fought 6-5 loss to the seventh-ranked team in the nation, Mississippi State.

The loss ended Campbell’s season at 37-18, tied for the fourth-most wins in program history. Campbell’s two regional wins were the fourth and fifth in program history.

And the future is bright, as for the first time in program history, Campbell had two players named Freshman allAmericans in the same season. Thomas Harrington and Zach Neto were each tabbed to the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Freshman All-America team.

DR. CAMERON JORGENSON

Associate Professor of Christian Theology and Ethics Dr. Cameron Jorgenson is the director for Campbell Divinity’s recently launched Master of Arts in Faith & Leadership Formation program, which provides intellectual and spiritual formation for those whose ministry is their work in the world.

“We knew we needed to build something for everybody, even if they haven’t been called into full-time service, but instead have been called to live out their faith in a variety of places that God has placed them,” he said. “We built a degree for that.”

Jorgenson has served as theologian in residence for the Campbell Youth Theological Institute. In 2021, he was the recipient of the D.P. Russ Jr. and Walter S. Jones Sr. Alumni Award for Teaching Excellence.
