Campbell University

History Throughout its 127-year history, Campbell University has been driven by its mission to educate and serve.

ince its founding in 1887, Campbell University has strived to the meet the changing needs of its community and state.

Consider there were no schools in Harnett County, North Carolina, when 25-year-old James Archibald Campbell founded Buies Creek Academy in the rural community. At the time a Wake Forest University student, the Baptist minister opened the co-educational boarding school in a small church on Jan. 5, 1887, by leading 16 students in the hymn “Jesus, My Savior, Pilot Me.” By the end of the first term, the school enrolled 92 students. Since then, the academy has evolved to become Campbell Junior College (1926), Campbell College (1961), and Campbell University (1979). Today, Campbell University offers more than 100 undergraduate, graduate, and

professional degree programs across eight academic divisions and enrolls nearly 7,000 students, including nearly 4,200 on its main campus in Buies Creek. Throughout these transformations, the University has remained true to its founding president’s vision to prepare students for Christian service and to address the region and state’s most pressing needs. The university, for example, established the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law in 1976 when more than half of the lawyers in North Carolina were located in only seven of the state’s 100 counties. Nine years later, Campbell opened the first pharmacy school in the United States in nearly 40 years and became the first to require community-based pharmacy rotations. A chief aim of both schools is to produce

professionals who go on to practice in the state’s rural and underserved areas. In recent years, Campbell has leveraged the success of its law and pharmacy schools to expand its mission to address the shortage of professionals in other critical fields, including health care and engineering. The University opened the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine in 2013 and has added degree programs in physical therapy, physician assistant, public health, and nursing. The Board of Trustees also approved in the spring of 2014 the establishment of a Bachelor of Science in Engineering program, which the University plans to initiate in the fall of 2016. Each of these new programs complement the University’s rich offerings in business, education, pharmacy, law, divinity, the liberal arts, and other fields, making Campbell one of the most academically diverse private institutions in North Carolina.

In addition, with a student-faculty ratio of 20 to 1, Campbell provides small learning environments. This allows students to develop deep relationships with their professors and instructors and receive individualized attention. Campbell students, consequently, pursue personalized learning experiences that result in a richer education. Guided by these principles, and a commitment to excellence, Campbell has built a reputation on par with other leading private institutions of higher education. The Core Curriculum

Campbell has a rich history in the liberal arts and sciences. All undergraduate students, for example, are expected to develop six essential competencies that are introduced through the General College Curriculum and reinforced through their academic majors. These competencies are reading, mathematics, critical thinking, communication, clarity in value formation, and use of technology. Reflecting the University’s Christian heritage and mission, an academic program called Connections seeks to nurture the spiritual life of students and build a sense of community through a variety of programs, such as worship, service projects, and courses related to spiritual

formation and personal development. Undergraduates are also required to participate in Connections for at least one semester and up to four semesters, depending on their status when they enter Campbell. Through Connections, the General College Curriculum, and courses within their majors, students receive an education that touches on all three of Campbell’s hallmarks of faith, learning, and service. The Seven Colleges & Schools

Campbell’s seven colleges and schools fulfill the University’s mission by providing value-added education and producing skilled and service-minded graduates. College of Arts & Sciences. The custodian of the core curriculum, this college is Campbell’s oldest and largest. It’s home to nearly 100 programs, fields and concentrations, including nearly a dozen preprofessional tracks, such as pre-law and pre-medicine. The college also houses the Army ROTC program, which has commissioned more officers than any other civilian school in the nation since it began in 1971. College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences. The pharmacy school, repeatedly named among the best in the nation, was the first to open in the U.S. in nearly 40 years when it was established in 1985. The school was renamed the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences in 2011 to reflect its expansion into other health programs, including physical therapy, physician assistant, public health, and nursing.

Since moving to downtown Raleigh, the state’s capital, in 2009, the law school has moved into the top-tier in the national rankings. School of Education. The school’s professional education, social work, and psychology programs produce graduates who serve others. The school is among the largest suppliers of teachers to central and eastern North Carolina. Its graduates are also among the most prepared. Education students have a 100 percent passage rate on the licensing exams while counseling students have scored above the national average on national exams for the past six years.

Faculty Campbell is a teaching institution grounded by top-notch faculty who prepare students for success and a life of service.

t’s the goal of all faculty at Campbell University to not only educate and prepare students to find success, but to encourage a life of service and desire to make the world a better place. The doctors who instruct in our new School of Osteopathic Medicine are training students to work in medically underserved parts of our state and region. Our law school professors work to develop lawyers who possess moral conviction and social compassion and who view the practice as a calling to serve. Whether the Arts & Sciences, Divinity, Business, Education, or Pharmacy & Health Sciences school, the mission is the same. Campbell University is a teaching institution first and foremost, which means students are treated like individuals and not a number. Faculty members know their students by name and have both the knowledge and time to help educate their students and prepare them for life after college. Since 1887 — when then Buies Creek Academy began with three instructors and 16 students — Campbell has built a stellar faculty of engaged scholars and creative artists who excel both in and out of the classroom.

The University supports faculty members in their research and grant initiatives. The D.P. Russ Jr. and Walter S. Jones Sr. Alumni Awards honor two professors each year, one for teaching excellence and the other for research excellence. Also annually, each school — as well as extended campuses and the library — honor top-performing faculty with the Dean’s Award for excellence in teaching and research. Students’ performance is a direct result of not only the hard work and dedication of the faculty, but the faculty’s qualifications as well. Ninety-two percent of Campbell’s 218 full-time faculty member hold the highest degree in their discipline. And Campbell professors have a strong presence in the classroom — classes are not led by teacher assistants or graduate assistants. Equally important is the faculty’s open-door policy, ensuring their students never lack an expert to answer their questions, a mentor to offer guidance, or a professional role model to lead the way.

Campus and Beyond Campbell’s location in the prestigious Research Triangle Region has helped fuel the University’s growth.

ampbell University’s location in the heart of North Carolina has allowed the university to pursue its national and global mission while also serving the needs of the state and region. The University’s main campus spreads across 1,300 acres in the Harnett County community of Buies Creek. In recent years, Campbell has executed an ambitious master plan. Major construction and renovation projects include the 109,000-square-foot John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center, Robert B. and Anna Gardner Butler Chapel and the Wiggins Memorial Library. The Health Sciences campus — located less than a mile from the main campus — is home to the state-of-the-art Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences, which houses the medical school and physician assistant program. Construction on the next phase of the Health Sciences campus, which will add 70,000-square-feet faculty for the new nursing and physical therapy programs, will begin in early 2015. In addition to the main campus in Buies Creek and the Health Science Campus, Campbell’s law school sits in a prime location in downtown Raleigh, where it relocated in 2009. Campbell has extended campus programs near the Raleigh-Durham International Airport in the Research Triangle Park (RTP); on the Army base at Fort Bragg; and on the Marine Corps base at Camp Lejeune.

Finances & Fundraising On the heels of an eight-year campaign, Campbell is positioned well financially for the future.

trategic financial management and oversight has allowed Campbell to develop new academic programs, strong athletic teams, a dynamic student life, and community service programs. Though the University has built more than a half-dozen facilities and residence halls and renovated numerous others since 2005, Campbell has maintained a superior physical plant to such a level that there is no structural deferred maintenance. The University’ law school was relocated from the main campus to an 110,000-square-foot building in downtown Raleigh in 2009. Additionally, the University has completely renovated numerous residence halls, the university library, undergraduate science building, dining hall, various athletic facilities, and other structures. These achievements owe a good deal to careful management of operating budget surpluses, vigorous fundraising efforts, budgeted repair and replacement programs, and well-planned borrowing. During and since the national financial crisis of 2008, Campbell has not taken any economic-related workforce reductions. Contributing to the financial success of the University is a conservative budgeting process that is closely managed by the vice president for business and treasurer with the full participation of the president’s senior staff. The University has ended every fiscal year in recent memory with an operating surplus, including the fiscal year that concluded May 31, 2014. Campbell’s operating budget for the fiscal year ending then was $249 million. The new fiscal year operating budget stands at $258 million.

Governance Campbell’s economic health has been supported by the successful “Time is Now” campaign, which spanned from June 1, 2005, to Dec. 31, 2013.

Final campaign results total $120 million, exceeding the initial goal by more than $35 million. More than 50,000 unique gifts were received during the campaign, including nearly 40 gifts of $1 million or more. The campaign also brought in the largest expected estate gift ($12 million) and largest outright gift ($4.5 million) in university history. The University’s endowment totaled $91 million at the beginning of the campaign in 2005 and ended the campaign in 2013 at a value of more than $185 million.

OPPORTUNITIES & CHALLENGES FOR CAMPBELL’S NEXT PRESIDENT

ATTRIBUTES CAMPBELL SEEKS IN ITS NEXT PRESIDENT

he next President of Campbell University will lead an institution of enormous momentum and energy, poised to capitalize on the dramatic accomplishments of recent decades. Entrepreneurial and strategic in pursuit of its mission, Campbell has at the same time been prudent in managing its resources, providing the incoming President with an unusually strong foundation for the future. The President will lead the University community in addressing the following opportunities and challenges: Leading Campbell with energy, creativity and vision through the fast-changing landscape of higher education: Two of the most powerful forces in higher education today are a new sense of global interconnectedness and a desire to enhance learning through innovative use of technology. Campbell’s next President will provide strategic guidance for the University’s further investments in both of these areas. Campbell’s commitment to global education dates back to 1979 when it created a partnership with Tunku Abdul Rahman University College (TARUC) in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and continues today with the introduction in January 2014 of a new partnership with the University of Reading. Campbell opened its first extended campus program in 1976 at Fort Bragg and began offering online classes as early as 1999. Thus while Campbell was an early adopter in both global and online education, it recognizes that it must continue to evolve in both areas in order to remain competitive in today’s rapidly changing higher education landscape. Overseeing at the highest level continued growth in enrollment: Campbell is proud of the gains it has made in the recruitment and retention of traditional full-time undergraduates in recent years, but like all tuitiondependent institutions, the University must continue to expand and strengthen its appeal to an even wider range of prospective traditional and online students, both at the undergraduate and graduate level. Identifying ways to further the University’s regional and national partnerships and visibility: In recent decades, Campbell has launched a number of professional programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level that are of critical importance to the economic growth of the region and the nation. The new President will build

Campbell University

upon these successes by creating even more productive and powerful relationships between Campbell and other organizations such as governmental entities, foundations and non-profits, corporations, and other institutions of higher education regionally, nationally, and globally. Providing leadership for the development and implementation of the University’s next strategic plan: Campbell’s most recent strategic plan was approved by the Board of Trustees in 2006. Since that time, the pace of the University’s growth has outstripped that original document and created the need for renewed conversation about Campbell’s chief priorities. The next President will have the opportunity to bring the University community together in a broadly inclusive strategic planning process and to launch new initiatives and capital projects based on regional, national, and global needs. Ensuring excellence at the undergraduate level in balance with the University’s performance at the graduate level: Similar to higher education institutions nationwide, Campbell is engaged in thoughtful conversation about how best to balance the enduring value of the liberal arts with students’ and parents’ desire for professional preparation, particularly in the context of traditional, residential undergraduate education. The new President will lead efforts to identify and deliver the resources needed to produce continued gains in academic quality, student satisfaction, faculty development, and other key measures. Attracting additional resources to allow the University to fulfill its mission: The next President will find Campbell well-resourced in the context of today’s challenging higher education environment. But engaging alumni, friends, foundations, and other key partners in order to strengthen the University’s endowment and resource base is an ongoing responsibility. The President will be a persuasive, compelling, and articulate leader of Campbell’s next comprehensive campaign, anticipated to begin its public phase in 2017; and,
