Dear Alumni and Friends, Graduation brings a time of reflection and remembrance. A time to think back on your years as a student and the memories made while you were here. I too cherish such memories and look forward to continuing to help our students cultivate moments to remember. This year’s graduation on May 11 celebrated the 44 members of the charter class of nurses who earned a BSN. I am exceptionally proud of them, the nursing faculty and staff, and all our recent graduates. We look forward to hearing all the great things our grads will accomplish during their careers. Learn more about all the exciting graduation events and the commencement ceremony in this publication. Our nursing program also reached another major milestone with the receipt of their official accreditation status from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Receiving accreditation in four and a half years is almost unheard of for a brand new program. I applauded the tireless efforts of program head Dr. Nancy Duffy and everyone involved in the process. That is an incredible feat and well worth distinctive recognition.

ursing took center stage at the 29th commencement for the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, with 44 nurses among the first class at Campbell to earn degrees and with the speaker the director of education and practice for the state’s Board of Nursing. But Crystal Tillman’s commencement address was valuable to all of the college’s graduates, stressing collaboration along all health care professions as the first of

her three “keys to success” (the other two: growth and gratitude). “Collaboration is the future of health care,” said Tillman, whose own clinical practice assists clients with addiction and opioid use disorders. “It’s about joint decision-making among teams and taking ownership of those decisions and a collective responsibility for the outcomes. In essence, it’s working across all boundaries in a complex health care environment. The industry is no longer about working in silos. It’s no longer us
versus them. It’s ‘we.’ We as a team to deliver the safest and best care possible, charged with being advocates to those in our care and speaking up for those who do not have a voice.” The ceremony awarded 98 bachelor of science degrees in pharmaceutical sciences, clinical research, general sciences and nursing; 50 master of science degrees in pharmaceutical sciences, clinical research and public health; 112 doctor of pharmacy degrees; and one doctor of physical therapy degree.

ancy Duffy will likely see hundreds and hundreds of students earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing degrees before her career is over. But that first class will always hold a special place in her heart.
“I know them by name, by face and I can probably tell you a story or something interesting about every single one of them,” said the director of Campbell’s nursing program. “That will certainly be difficult to do in the future — to maintain that level of familiarity every year. But I’m going to try.” The Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing’s first commencement comes nearly two years after the program accepted its first group of juniors at the new Tracey F. Smith Hall of Nursing & Health Sciences in fall 2016. Unlike most majors within a university system, Campbell Nursing does not enroll students until they are juniors or have met all the program requirements and fulfilled all program prerequisites. Getting the general curriculum out of the way allows the students to focus on the rigorous nursing curriculum that involves patient care and clinical 4 SUMMER 2018
experiences during their junior and senior years. According to Duffy, 46 students started the program back in 2016 — only one student left the program and another will graduate at a later date. She called Campbell Nursing’s first retention rate “remarkable.” “It’s a testament to our faculty working with the students continually,” she said. “We had a volunteer, Dr. Pam Jenkins, who sat at a table in the back of our classrooms and helped students in their transition into nursing. And yes, she was a volunteer … not a paid employee. We were just so lucky to have her.” Duffy also credited the team-based learning approach that she said encouraged her students to form a closeknit bond. She compared this first class to one giant family. “Within our community or family, we saw that these connections facilitated engagement and motivation,” she said. “Students would say, ‘If they can do it, I can do it.’ Connecting with other students gives them a greater chance of being successful. And I loved having
a smaller class, because you can’t always use this approach with a class of 245 students.” According to Duffy, 100 percent of her graduates who actively sought nursing positions right after graduation have landed a job. Hospitals and agencies have worked with the school over the past two years to recruit students and promote their programs. Seniors this year also performed a 120-hour capstone practicum, where a number of them proved themselves worthy and were offered positions as a student. Most valuable in their education, Duffy said, was learning the three things all nurses need: a brain, a mouth and a spinal cord. The brain to figure out what is happening to a patient, the mouth to speak for that patient and the spine to advocate for that patient and see to it that their needs are always met. “They didn’t know what this meant on the first day, but they get it now,” Duffy said. “We’re all about patient advocacy and clinical reasoning. And I’m satisfied that they understand this and are ready to integrate it into their practices.”
GRADUATION 2018 PHARMD GRADUATION DINNER The Doctor of Pharmacy faculty and staff hosted the PharmD Class of 2018 and their guests on Wednesday, May 9 for a special graduation dinner to celebrate and highlight the students’ accomplishments. “The event was a great opportunity for all of us to gather together as a family one last time before we graduate,” said Doug Currington, senior class president. After a catered meal served by our PharmD faculty, Dean Michael L. Adams, ’96 PharmD, PhD, welcomed everyone and shared some interesting facts about the class: • 112 Doctor of Pharmacy degrees will be awarded at this graduation • 82 students call NC home, while the remainder reside in places as close as South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, and as far away as Arizona, Alaska, the Caribbean, Saudi Arabia and Ghana • 33 hold an undergraduate degree from Campbell • 21 earned a dual degree Dean Adams presented honor cords to 52 students graduating with cum laude, magna cum laude and summa cum laude status.
Campbell’s First Nursing Pinning Ceremony
C
ampbell University’s first class of nursing students held a pinning ceremony on May 10 in Butler Chapel on main campus. Dr. Nancy Duffy, director of Nursing, presided at the auspicious event, which was attended by Mr. Luby Wood and Mrs. Catherine W. Wood, namesake of the Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing. After a welcome from Dr. Duffy and greetings from Dr. Michael L. Adams, dean of the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, Pam Jenkins delivered the keynote address. Jenkins is a member of the nursing department’s Community Advisory Board and a department volunteer. She reminded the cohort that during their time at Campbell they learned the true value of teamwork and through teamwork is delivered the best patient CP H S.CAMP BE LL.EDU
care. Jenkins welcomed the group into the profession of nursing. “We pass the torch of nursing for you to take over at the patients’ bedside.” Each student selected a family member, friend or mentor to place the pin on their white coat. After each student received their pin, Professor Lori Byrd led the charter class in the Florence Nightingale Pledge. The Pinning Ceremony marks the passage from the student role to the practice role. The pin of each school of nursing is unique, and only graduates of that school may wear the pin as a statement that they have completed that program. Campbell University Catherine W. Wood School of Nursing’s Inaugural Class of 2018 designed the pin.
Dr. Scott Asbill, associate dean of Academic Affairs, presented senior awards to 12 deserving students. One of which was Haley Webster who said, “The graduation dinner was a great opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our class with family, friends, and faculty! I am truly honored to have received an award, especially when there are so many deserving individuals within our class. It means a lot to be recognized for hard work and perseverance by receiving the Brian Rodgers Memorial Award.” Following remarks from Currington, Class Treasurer Justin Jones announced a class gift to the Matthew Ryan Tucker Memorial Pharmacy Endowed Scholarship. Alissa Loo, coordinator of Alumni Relations, welcomed the class as members of the Alumni Association, while the Alumni Association Board of Directors’ President, Drew Kessel, ’07 PharmD, ’07 MBA, led the students in taking the Oath of a Pharmacist. All pharmacists present participated in the recitation to reaffirm their commitment to the profession. After closing remarks by Dean Adams, senior class chaplain, Chase Barnes, provided the benediction. Students, their family and friends, and the faculty and staff who challenged and encouraged them during the past four years all gathered to take photos and share stories one last time before graduation day.

Clinical Research Program in the Spotlight at National Conference
O
ur Clinical Research program was a major sponsor of the 2018 Association of Clinical Research Professionals’ (ACRP) 2018 annual conference, taking the lead with the WiFi and App sponsorship along with the Meet Your Match game sponsorship.
PA DAY AT NC GENERAL ASSEMBLY PA faculty and students visited with legislators on May 30 during PA Day at the NC General Assembly in Raleigh. Our group talked with Rep. David Lewis, a Campbell alumni, about the impact of the PA profession in NC and shared details about our program. Laura Gerstner, director of Clinical Education and assistant professor of Physician Assistant Practice, commented, “The event at the NC General Assembly was eye-opening and inspiring to be able to talk with legislators about our profession. We were thrilled to have two faculty and seven students from the Campbell PA program in attendance amongst PA leaders from across North Carolina.”
6 SUMMER 2018
“The sponsorships allowed our program to be prominently featured during the entire conference. We benefited greatly from the national exposure to clinical research professionals who may be interested in pursuing a master’s degree. It proved we are ready to help them accomplish their educational and professional goals with our 100% online program,” said Bill Pickard, chair of the Clinical Research department. A contingent of 10 clinical research students traveled with department faculty and staff to the conference, which was held in National Harbor, Maryland. They attended presentations, met with exhibitors and potential employers, interacted with the other conference attendees as well as the faculty and staff in a professional, outside-of-theclassroom setting.
"Attending the ACRP conference was an experience I will never forget,” said Emilee Evans, BSCR ’18 Candidate. “I was honored and humbled to have had the opportunity to attend as an undergraduate student. The new advances in clinical research, as well as the passions of those currently in the field, are truly inspiring." Two of our faculty, Dr. Charles Carter and Dr. Mike Jiroutek, were presenters at the national conference. Kate Eberle, clinical research program coordinator, and Kimberly Whitted, CPHS director of Admissions, were stationed at the Meet Your Match game booth where they greeted attendees and provided more than 1,000 game participants with information about our program. They even took photos of the “matches” on a custom background with our Clinical Research logo so that the photos could be shared on social media. The department also had four custom videos sent through push notifications to all conference attendees and the name of our program was the WiFi password. It was a great event and the program hopes to reap the benefits of participation for a long time to come.
BETTY LYNNE W. JOHNSON NAMED THE NEW DIRECTOR OF PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT PROGRAM Betty Lynne W. Johnson became the new Director of the Physician Assistant Program on June 1. “We are very excited to have Betty Lynne step into this role,” said Michael L. Adams, ’96 PharmD, PhD, dean of the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. “She has been a leader in CPHS for several years and brings a passion for educating future healthcare providers and a love for the physician assistant profession.”
New Pharmacy Curriculum First Year Success “At this rotation site, my whole P1 year really came to life.” said Sai Wright, rising P2, about her community pharmacy rotation. “That is exactly what we hoped when we set out on this journey with our new integrated curriculum, where students experience a more holistic approach to pharmacy from the beginning of their P1 year,” said Dr. Scott Asbill, associate dean of Academic Affairs and professor of Pharmaceutics. “Students may not understand at first the integration aspect of the new curriculum, but by the end of the first year they appreciate the integration of the material and how it’s presented in a practical approach. They want to be pharmacists, and we are exposing them to the profession early on during their didactic education. “I believe our P1s are performing at a very high level in terms of their knowledge base and skills,” he continued. “They are on par with students at the P2 and P3 level in other programs. This first year of the new curriculum was truly a success. “These future pharmacists are in the Pharmacy Practice skills lab giving immunizations, using a glucometer, etc. during the first block of pharmacy school. That was unheard of and unthinkable until recently, but here we are giving them true hands-on experience that will
CP H S.CAMP BE LL.EDU
benefit them through their four years of study and into their professional career.” While the first year of the curriculum was a success, there were adjustments made along the way to better fit the needs of our students, such as shifting of exam schedules. But, ironing out wrinkles was expected. “We held regular listening sessions with faculty and students during these past two semesters to get candid feedback so we could make changes to improve and enhance the curriculum,” said Asbill. “This will be an ongoing process as we want a dynamic curriculum that is adjusted based on changes in the pharmacy profession and changes in healthcare. “We owe that to our students – to provide them with the most current, ahead of the curve information so that they stay competitive and ultimately provide the best care for their patients.” As we look at our next steps, the faculty plans to add courses on health outcomes and informatics, along with pharmacogenomics to make our graduates even more competitive for residencies and jobs. Asbill concluded, “Our goal with the new curriculum is to produce a competent healthcare professional to serve patients with skill and compassion.”
Johnson has served as associate professor in the department since 2011 and has held various roles including director of Pre-Clinical Education. She most recently has served the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences and the University as assistant dean for Interprofessional Education and interim director of the Physician Assistant program. She is a "double-camel" having earned both her undergraduate degree (’79) as well as a Masters of Education (’86) from Campbell University. Johnson was trained as a physician assistant at Bowman Gray School of Medicine at Wake Forest University. Johnson is the daughter of former Campbell President, Dr. Jerry M. Wallace and Mrs. Betty Wallace. She is married to David N. Johnson (’79) president of Johnston Community College in Smithfield. The couple has two sons, D. Wallace Johnson ('11) married to Ashley H. Johnson ('11) and Isaac N. Johnson. They have twin grandchildren, Lillie Grace and Liam James Johnson.
MINISTERS' HEALTH SUMMIT Lauren Stens, MSPH candidate, helped coordinate the Ministers' Health Summit held June 7 on main campus. The summit is an opportunity for faith leaders throughout North Carolina to come together for a day centered on their health and well-being. The event offered interprofessional health screenings by our Nursing, Doctor of Pharmacy and Physician Assistant faculty and students, along with yoga and meditation techniques from our Doctor of Physical Therapy faculty.

be granted accreditation, but until the official word comes down there is always the thought in the back of your mind that maybe the news will not be good. We are thrilled that our news was good!” The program was very aggressive in pursuing accreditation. Receiving accreditation only four and a half years from the start of the process is especially hard to accomplish for a brand new program. “Many potential employers offer Residency Programs and will accept only those BSNs from accredited

programs. Students who wish to continue their education at the graduate level must come from an accredited program,” explained Duffy. “We wanted to ensure our students had every advantage after graduation.” “We look forward to staying competitive and on the forefront of healthcare,” continued Duffy. “We are constantly seeking feedback from our faculty, students and colleagues in the nursing field to stay current and to keep our curriculum fresh.”
PUBLIC HEALTH ALUMNI EVENT Our Public Health department hosted its first alumni event on May 17 in Smith Hall. This event was an opportunity for the program to share the good news about its recent accreditation, begin working on possible collaborations between current students and alumni, and establish scholarship funds to help future students who plan to matriculate into the program.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENTS
Pharmacy Residency Match Rate Above National Average at 81.5%
C
PHS continues to match student pharmacists seeking residency training at a rate above the national average. Eighty-one and a half percent of students and alumni from Campbell successfully matched with residencies in 2018, which is well above the national match rate of 65 percent.
Campbell’s 32 residency matches include 22 fourth-year students matching with a PGY1 residency and 10 alumni matching with a PGY2 residency. In addition, one 2018 graduate will complete a Fellowship Program at Roivant Sciences in their

Clinical Pharmacology Department located in Durham, NC. “Over the years, as the competition for residencies has increased, Campbell student pharmacists have beaten the national rate for match percentage,” said Byron May, PharmD, chair of pharmacy practice. “This year’s 81.5 percent match rate is one of the highest in the country for pharmacy schools and is a reflection of the quality of the students seeking post-graduate training. Working with our outstanding faculty who prepare them for their careers after graduation, Campbell pharmacy graduates are seeking out
high-quality PGY1 and PGY2 residency programs and are having great success. I congratulate all our students for their accomplishments and thank our faculty for their commitment.” More than 4,830 pharmacy residency positions were available for the 2018 American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) residency match. During the last five years, more than 190 fourth-year student pharmacists and alumni have matched with PGY1 or PGY2 residencies in 22 different states.

Alumni Activities
The Rho Chi Honor Society at the Campbell University College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences welcomed 27 new student members during the annual ceremony held March 15 at Campbell’s Maddox Hall. “Being a member of Rho Chi is a great honor. It is rewarding to be recognized for academic achievement,” said JENNA GRAGO, ’19 PHARMD/MSPS candidate and president of the Gamma Iota Chapter of Rho Chi. “I hope our chapter can continue to grow and perhaps do more in the coming years to encourage and promote leaders in pharmacy.”
After learning about hypoglycemia in DR. BETH MILLS' (center) class, first-year pharmacy students, SAVANNA SCOTT and CHELSEA GREGORI, knew how to help an elderly man who collapsed in a local store. The students assessed the situation and spoke with the man’s wife to learn he was diabetic. They opened a container of sugar and instructed the wife to put a small pinch of sugar in the man’s cheek. The man woke up and EMS personnel arrived. Chelsea commented, “This experience made us both realize how easy it is to take our knowledge for granted because this poor lady had no idea what to do with her husband, and no one around knew what to do either.”
Golf Tournament The 17th Annual Alumni & Friends Golf Tournament was held Friday, April 20 and raised more than $10,000 profit for direct aid scholarships, the alumni senior award, and the CPHS Alumni Association Endowed Scholarship. Seventy-two players participated in the tournament, which featured food and prizes from our generous sponsors. The Jordan Lake Christmas Tree Farm team, comprised of pharmacy faculty, DR. RILEY BOWERS, DR. ANDY BOWMAN, DR. SCOTT PERKINS and DR. DUSTIN WILSON, won the tournament.
Class Notes TIM BROWN, ’93 PHARMD, was recently named Ohio Health System Pharmacist of the Year and also won the Medical Education Leadership Award due to his passion for excellence in cultivating, maintaining and implementing sound patient management decisions.
