Newsletter Employee Giving Campaign aims to top record year BUIES CREEK — Employee giving helps Campbell University far beyond the monetary reasons. In addition to building pride among the faculty and staff here, having a high percentage of employees who give back helps the University in its request for grants. And businesses, corporations and foundations are more likely to support a school whose employees have a high rate of support as well. These are some of the important points being driven home by annual fund director Peggy Mason, who has launched the 2013 Annual Employee Giving Campaign. A record 89 percent of Campbell employees gave back in 2012. FULL STORY

Minter brings with him a history of winning By Billy Liggett Right away, Mike Minter knew his foot was broken. With just over a quarter remaining in the biggest football game of his life, and with his Carolina Panthers trailing a New England Patriots team looking to start a dynasty, the Panthers’ safety hit tight end Daniel Graham — who outsized Minter by 5 inches and 60 pounds — with everything he had six yards from the end zone to prevent a score. The collision was violent. But it was the moment before impact — Minter planting his foot into the artificial turf at Houston’s Reliant Stadium — when the pain hit. “I felt a pop,” Minter recalls nine years later. “When you’re playing and the adrenaline is flowing in a game like that, you don’t feel the pain. When the play’s over? Ha … it was throbbing. Go back and watch it again, and you can see me hobbling around after every play. “It was pretty bad.” When sharing the legend of Mike Minter — the Carolina Panthers’ all-time leader in tackles, fumble recoveries and defensive touchdowns — it’s paramount to mention his performance in Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004. Six of his careerhigh 18 tackles in that game came after the broken foot, and his performance helped the Panthers nearly pull off one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history (the Patriots won on a last-second field goal). Minter remembers telling the trainers to simply tie his shoe tighter after the break. He even refused painkillers, rely-

ing instead on that adrenaline to get him through. Passion. Grit. Heart. Leadership. These are but a few of the adjectives used to describe not only his career-defining game, but the entirety of Mike Minter’s nine-year NFL career. And those words found their way to Buies Creek on Nov. 27, the day Minter was named head coach of Campbell University’s football program. “Mike’s spirit, passion and will to win were evident to me from our very first conversation,” Campbell Athletic Director Bob Roller beamed before a packed room on the day of the announcement. “I am convinced that Campbell University and Camel football is about to experience a transformational change.” ‘RUN THROUGH A WALL ...’ It’s early February ... almost nine years to the day of his Super Bowl experience — and nearly three months since being tabbed to turn around Campbell’s struggling football program. Minter is still settling into his somewhat bare office that looks out over the under-renovation Barker-Lane Stadium. FULL STORY
Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Mark Kitchell will present his latest film, “A Fierce Green Fire: The Battle for a Living Planet,” at Campbell University at 7 p.m. on April 11 in the School of Business’ Lynch Auditorium. The film will be followed by a question-and-answer session, presented by the University’s Lecture Symposium Committee and 1 More Film Blog. Kitchell will be introduced by Dr. Kenneth Morefield, Campbell University English professor and Christianity Today film critic. “A Fierce Green Fire” is a history, told in five acts, of the environmental movement from the 1960s to the present. It is narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep, Ashley Judd, Van Jones and Isabel Allende. According to the Los Angeles Times, Kitchell’s new film “brings to light the vital stories of the environmental movement where people fought – and succeeded – against enormous odds.

ANNOUNCEMENTS NEW: National library week coming to CU Daily, its faculty and staff strive to make Wiggins Memorial Library an invaluable resource for the Campbell community. Annually, National Library Week affords them an opportunity to shine just a little brighter, to bring a little extra fun and attention to the institution. Elizabeth Dobbins, Wiggins Library circulation manager, explains the excitement of a special Library observance. “The events we are hosting during National Library Week allow us to actively engage the Campbell community and pique students’ curiosity and exploration of library resources,” she said. This year, the National Library Week celebration kicks off on Monday, April 15, with a week-long scavenger hunt and, from 2-4 p.m., the popular Edible Book Festival. Entrants in the Festival – who can be students, staff and faculty, individually or in groups – will concoct literary-themed savories and confections inspired by a favorite book title or theme. Their entries will be displayed and judged in several categories, with student winners receiving a Barnes & Noble gift certificate and others receiving … well, bragging rights. All are welcome to enter (go to guides.lib.campbell.edu/edible for rules and entry form) or just come vote and earn a door prize and a slice of cake. Other special events during the week include a Tuesday Poetry Jam outside the Library (or on the third floor in case of inclement weather), in honor of the concurrent National Poetry Month. Passersby may chalk up a verse on the sidewalk, read an original or classic, or just relax and enjoy refreshments, door prizes and the poetic vibe. The library staff invites our readers to find more details on the Library’s website and Facebook page, and to stop by and enjoy the fun, fellowship and refreshments served up during National Library Week.

ItAllCounts funding program benefits Alumni Endowment and Annual Fund. A new fundraising tool provides money to Campbell University and rewards Campbell alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends for shopping online. Through the program, called ItAllCounts, users can sign up for free and shop at a range of nearly 700 online stores including stores like Kohl’s, Home Depot, Best Buy and Walmart. A percentage of the sale is then donated to Campbell University, and another percentage is credited to the user. “For example, if a store’s contribution is 4 percent and you make a $100 purchase, you get $2 and $2 goes to the University,” said Doug Jones, AVP for Alumni Relations. The purchaser has the opportunity to support the Alumni Endowment which will provide resources for funding alumni events or the Campbell Annual Fund. When you shop online through the ItAllCounts portal, you can build up a refund for yourself and help the University at the same time. “It’s a great way for people to get involved,” Jones said. “Some people want to help the University but don’t like writing out a check, so this way they can help Campbell as well as save a couple of bucks on the products they normally buy.” Campbell alumni, employees, students and friends of the University may join the program at any time and participate whenever they would like. To see the list of participating stores and sign up for ItAllCounts, visit https://www. itallcounts.com/campbell.
