FACULTY & STAFF ACHIEVEMENTS
CPHS 2021 Faculty & Staff Awards
Campbell strives to provide a transformational learning experience that prepares students for servant leadership and equips them with the skills and habits to make a difference in the lives of others. Faculty and staff play a monumental role in cultivating leadership, professionalism, integrity, and diversity both in and out of the classroom. This year, six CPHS faculty and staff were recognized for their exemplary work, research, and student support.
CPHS Professors of the Year This award is voted on by the students and recognizes faculty members who leave a mark on student lives. Kathleen Jones
Dr. Bridget Eubanks
The recipients for the CPHS Professor of the Year Awards were KATHLEEN JONES, instructor of Nursing, and DR. BRIDGET EUBANKS, assistant director of Clinical Education and assistant professor of Physical Therapy.
Jones shared, “I will admit I was shocked to see my name nominated. I was truly honored and amazed that I was even considered this being my second-year teaching in a University. I felt badly that my students had to endure learning in a pandemic with limits to our clinicals, less socialization between their peer group due to social distancing, and the always ever-changing schedules of all their classes. I wanted their time to be spent wisely but fun, so I designed several games to concentrate on comprehension, while we saved analysis and application work for lecture, lab, and SIM. I was very proud of their effort while maintaining their sense of humor and community of
kindness they displayed to one another. They were easy to teach because they were willing, and I could not have asked for a better group of young men and women to one day call my colleagues! This was a wonderful blessing to have received this award.” Eubanks commented, “I was completely shocked to win this award. It was totally unexpected, but was equally touching. I feel so grateful and humbled to have been recognized for this award, especially given the company of previous awardees. I truly appreciate the opportunity to work with our students and my fellow colleagues at Campbell.”
Outstanding Student Organization Advisor of the Year This award is presented to an advisor who demonstrated a deep commitment to student advocacy and enhancing the student experience. The 2021 recipient showed an interest in students’ personal and academic achievements, was available and responsive to student needs, and displayed strong communication skills.
The students voted that
DR. PAIGE BROWN (’06), assistant dean
of Interprofessional Education, receive the Outstanding Student Organization Advisor of the Year Award. Brown advises Christian Pharmacists Fellowship International (CPFI), North Carolina Association of Pharmacists (NCAP), Phi Delta Chi Pharmaceutical Fraternity (PDC), and Student Leadership With IPE (SWIPE). “Receiving this award was a wonderful surprise and a great way to wrap up the
academic year. Working with students is what makes me love my job the most. Advising students as they serve in leadership roles for student organizations is a blessing and a gift. I have the opportunity to watch them grow personally and professionally as they become leaders of the pharmacy profession and witness firsthand the impact they are making in the lives of others. It is an honor to work with each student organization and get to celebrate their accomplishments,” Brown shared.
2021 Excellence in Research Award This award is given to a faculty member who makes a unique contribution to science with arguably the most impactful research he has conducted. The Dean appoints a selection committee who then reviews the nominations. The nominations are blinded from the nominee. C P H S .C A M P B E L L . E D U
DR. STEVEN JOHNSON, associate profes-
sor of Pharmacy Practice, received the Excellence in Research Award for his work on Clostridium difficile infections. Johnson’s nomination letter stated, “this research is significant, valuable, hypothesis-generating, and practical. When you recognize that a CPHS pharmacist faculty was the primary researcher on a collection of work of this magnitude, you must call it ‘remarkable!’”
“I am extremely honored to be recognized for this award,” Johnson said. “Since the start of my career, I have wanted to make an impact with my research and improve quality of care for patients. I am grateful for the mentors and collaborators who have made this work possible.”
