ALUMNI
Five Minutes with... the Alumni Association President The best thing about working at Campbell University is... watching students matriculate through the same curriculum I experienced and watching them transform from students to pharmacists. Plus, I work with awesome people and that’s never a bad thing. My favorite memory from pharmacy school is...one Christmas, Chris Evans (PharmD ’06) and I decided I needed Christmas decorations for my apartment. We went to Walmart in Erwin and purchased a six foot Christmas tree. After stuffing it into the back seat of my Mustang, Chris had no choice but to ride the whole way back to campus half leaning into the dashboard and half hanging out of the window. Being an active alumnus is important because...you get to give back to students, watch them grow professionally, and provide a networking system to help launch them into the world of pharmacy. It’s also a great way to reconnect with classmates and bond with other Campbell grads. My goals for the Alumni Association this year are...to grow membership, expand the offering of events and programs throughout North Carolina, and provide a wider array of continuing education and professional development programs for our alumni. My favorite Alumni Association event is...Homecoming. Unless I get to golf on the same team as Leigh at the golf tournament.
