Welcome to theAnna Gardner andRobert B. Butler Chapel

The Anna Gardner and Robert B. Butler Chapel is the fulfillmentof a lifelong dream for the late Anna Gardner Butler. A member ofCampbell’s Class of 1940, she longed for a place to worship with herfriends and colleagues on campus. This inspired her and husband,Robert, to give the first major gift to a chapel fund in 1997.Located on the Academic Circle adjacent to the Taylor Hall ofReligion, the 10,000 square foot chapel seats approximately400 people. The interior of the chapel includes a sanctuary,gathering hall, bridal suite and administrative office suite.Memorial Garden and FountainEnclosed by decorative brick walls and lush plantings, the memorial garden is a space forrespite from the daily activities of campus life. Located central to the memorial prayergarden, the fountain will enhance the sense of peace and meditation inside the garden.The meditation garden is a small secluded space within the Memorial Garden.It is furnished with a simple bench and garnished by rosemary hedges.Chapel Pipe OrganThe new organ for Butler Chapel is the result of two-year collaborationbetween Campbell and Cornel Zimmer Organbuilders. The facade pipesare designed to lead one’s eye upward and towards the magnificent stainedglass window. The exterior of the console is constructed of white oak witha natural finish. A unique feature of this console is the wooden keys.Bell Tower and CarillonThe Dinah E. Gore Bell Tower standsat approximately 300 feet tall and holds24 perfectly tuned bronze carillon bells,ranging in weight from 40 to 1,400pounds. The carillon is controlled fromthe Chapel Organ Console and a custombell computer system to provide fullyautomatic pealing, clock chimes andmelody, as well as keyboard operation.Creation Window and Resurrection WindowThe Creation Window and Resurrection Window are custom made stained glassartworks created specifically for the Chapel. The artists of Statesville Stained Glasssought to portray important spiritual truths and concepts about the Kingdom of Godthrough these windows.Central to the design of the Sanctuary’s Creation Window is a waterfall, representing theWater of Life as represented in Psalm 42:12: “As had the host (deer) panteth after thewater, so panteth my soul after THEE O GOD…” GOD provides reward to those whodiligently seek Him, and among the rewards are the resurrection of life and an eternalhome with God.The Resurrection Window in the Gathering Hall offers assurance to visitors as they leavethe Sanctuary that the resurrected Lord is their hope of eternal Salvation.Memorial PoolOn the north-south axis of the bell towerthere is a reflecting pool made up of twoparts, a 5’- 4”x 9’ “source” pool and a54’x 4’ linear reflecting pool. The poolsare flat and still with rounded river stonesplaced in the floors.Interior chapel photo by Bennett Scarborough.

College ofPharmacyandHealthSciencesNew Name,New Vision,Same ValuesThe School of Pharmacy is a thing of the past, well thename that is. Their new moniker-College of Pharmacyand Health Sciences (CPHS) better represents the trueofferings of the school, said Dean Ronald Maddox.P1 student Anthony Gregorio thinks the namechange reflects Campbell’s ability to stay ahead ofthe curve when it comes to health education.Gregario said, “Campbell recognizes the need for more health careprofessionals, and the new changes are a great representation of ourprogressive outlook. The College of Pharmacy and Health Serviceswill continue to garner a great reputation for the university.”Dr. Maddox has big plans for the future of CPHS.“My vision for the college very closely aligns with the developmentof the Harnett County Health Systems. We will develop thephysician assistant program (PA), move into physical therapy,nursing programs and closer affiliation for training with medicalschools. We can’t stop looking at the bigger picture,” said Maddox.With that bigger picture in mind, there isa lot of planning in the works.The Harnett Health System plans to build a new 50-bedhospital in central Harnett County. Dr. Maddox is chair of theHarnett Health System Board and is working on building arelationship with the health system and Campbell University.“This hospital will provide a greater opportunity to train students andfaculty. Campbell University, Central Carolina Community Collegeand hospital personnel would all be able to learn in the trainingfacility attached to the hospital,” said Maddox. “The ground breakingis scheduled for the first of the year. The training facility will be36,000 sq. ft. and ideally each group would get 12,000 sq. feet.”PA Program Hits the Ground RunningFinding time between name changes and hospital building,Dr. Maddox has hired Tom Colletti as the director of thedeveloping PA Program. Colletti is a graduate of the UnitedStates Public Health Service Physician Assistant Program inNew York City. He earned his Master’s in Physician Assistant

Studies from the University of Nebraska and earned aBS in Biology from the City College of New York.He is certified by the National Commission on Certification ofPhysician Assistants, and licensed by the North Carolina MedicalBoard. He is an Assistant Consulting Professor at Duke UniversityMedical Center. Additionally, he is a member of the North CarolinaMedical Society, American Academy of Physician Assistants,the North Carolina Association of Physician Assistants, and thePhysician Assistant Education Association. Most recently, Collettiwas the Physician Assistant in General Orthopedics at TriangleOrthopedics based in Durham, N.C. He also served as lead preceptorfor PA students. Tom has practiced Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine,Student Health, Urgent Care and Sports Medicine. Before practicingat Triangle Orthopedics, he served from 2001–2006 as the AcademicCoordinator for the Duke University Physician Assistant Program.“I am extremely pleased to be appointed Director for the PA Programat Campbell. During the interview process, I was impressed bythe extensive research and planning that evidently went into thedecision to develop a new PA Program,” said Colletti. “As director,I will focus on developing an outstanding educational opportunityfor our students and graduate highly skilled Physician Assistantswho will exemplify Campbell’s ideals and uphold its reputation.”No time has been wasted since Colletti has been hired.“We are working on the accreditation process right now,” he said.“There is a list of standards we have to follow according to theAccreditation Review Committee for Physician Assistants (ARC-PA) standards; this procedure will include submitting a formalapplication and developing a self-study to demonstrate the college’spreparation and qualifications to launch a successful PA program.”“The College of Pharmacyand Health Services willcontinue to garner a greatreputation for the university.”– Anthony GregorioVisitation of the accreditation team for the provisional accreditationis scheduled in October 2010 and will be acted on at the March 2011meeting. The PA Program is expected to launch in the fall of 2011.According to Jim Roberts, VP for Business and Treasurer,the university is planning to utilize the Carrie Rich MemorialBuilding and the additions for the Health Sciences buildingthat will include the Physician’s Assistant program andother health science programs to be added in the future.The program’s curriculum will be divided into two phases:educational training in classrooms, laboratories andclinical facilities; and a clinical training segment.Students will be trained at the Harnett Health Systems’ twocampuses as well as WakeMed Hospital. Physician offices andmedical clinics will also be utilized. During their clinical segment,With a new name and a renewed vision, the College of Pharmacyand Health Sciences is committed to preparing a new generationof health care professionals for North Carolina.training year, students will be exposed to clinical experiencein emergency medicine, family medicine, general surgery,geriatrics, internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics andpsychiatry. Graduates will receive the Master of Physician AssistantStudies degree upon successful completion of the program.“The new PA program will introduce excellent healthproviders to the field, just as the pharmacy program has beendoing for almost 25 years,” said P1 student Gregorio.Why Campbell?Dr. Maddox is proud of the alumni and the currentstudents and thinks CPHS provides the best preparationfor health care professionals in North Carolina.“We emphasize patient concern and involvement because a majorpart of health care is the caring and concern of people,” he said.But he isn’t the only one that thinks highly of the school.P4 Jennie Hewitt said she first became interested inpharmacy because of the knowledge and kindness of hergrandparents’ pharmacist, who was a Campbell graduate.“CPHS has an excellent reputation in the field of pharmacy, notonly among other medical professionals but also among patients.I did a lot of research about the way Campbell’s program wasset up compared to other programs in the state and the class flowjust seemed like a better fit for my learning style,” said Hewitt.“All it took was one visit to meet the faculty and staff and thenI was hooked. I knew Campbell was the right place for me.”Gregario said, “I chose Campbell because of their commitment totheir students and the supportive learning environment. I talked withmany alumni of the pharmacy program, and they all enjoyed theirexperience here and highly recommended going to Campbell.”With a new name and a renewed vision, the College ofPharmacy and Health Sciences is committed to preparing anew generation of health care professionals for North Carolina.– By Shannon Ryals, Assistant Director of Publications

an age in which romanceis so hard to do well.”Above: Dr. Kenneth Morefield serves as a movie reviewer atthe Toronto Film Festival for “Christianity Today.” Right:Cover of the program from the Toronto Film Festival.Morefield Covers theToronto Film FestivalDr. Kenneth Morefield, assistant professor of English at CampbellUniversity, has also become somewhat of an international moviecritic. Morefield, who studies film and has published a bookabout it, served as a movie reviewer for “Christianity Today”from the Toronto International Film Festival, Sept. 10-19.Of the 260 new films screened at the Festival, Morefield wasable to see and review 20 for the publication. His favoritewas an obscure film called “Lourdes,” directed by AustrianJessica Hausner. Based upon the story of a group of religiousbelievers on a pilgrimage to Lourdes’ famous healing watersin France, the movie appears at first to be a satire, but quicklydevelops into a serious examination of religious faith.“The film takes the characters seriously. It examines faith in general;it probes a lot of questions, like why do some people get sickwhile others don’t, and it avoids pat answers,” Morefield said.Morefield found commercial blockbuster “Bright Star,”a story of the love affair between Romantic poet JohnKeats and Fanny Brawne, to be a tender love story, welldone and very appropriate for Christian audiences.“It was refreshing to see romance that is more about love thanattraction and desire,” Morefield said. “It is a really sweet film inToronto is the largestand most prestigiousfilm festival in NorthAmerica. It is uniquebecause it screens bothcommercial and independentfilms from all overthe world unlike the Sundance Film Festival, forexample, which screens only independent films.“Festivals like Toronto are important for foreign films because itmay be the only way for films like these to get distribution,”Morefield said.The film that got the most buzz, “Precious,” produced by OprahWinfrey, won the Cadillac People’s Choice Award at Toronto.In his classroom, Morefield uses film as a means of teachingcritical thinking skills to students.

School of EducationRoukema explained that studies have shownstudents can learn more by participatingin active learning experiences than justreading the information out of a textbook.“We were looking at methods of gettingour students up and moving out of ourclassrooms and into the out-of-doors toactively engage their brains and their bodiesin the learning process,” said Roukema.The camp staff taught the Campbellstudents several lessons includingone on American Indians. During theEducation students participate on a group problem-solving activity.Campbell Students LearnOutside the ClassroomBy Shannon Ryals, Assistant Director of PublicationsCampbell University School of Educationprofessors, Dr. Lorae Roukema and Dr. MaryEllen Durham, took their Social Studiesmethods and science methods students ona field trip to Camp Agape EnvironmentalEducation Center in Fuquay-Varina.“Our intent was to expose our teachingcandidates to the realm of possibilitiesoffered by outdoor educationalcenters, not only in close proximityto Harnett County, but in such centersall over our state,” said Roukema.“Our intent was toexpose our teachingcandidates to therealm of possibilities.”– Lorae Roukemalesson, the group built survival shelters.Cooperative games, soil and water testinglessons were also taught.

College of Pharmacy & Health SciencesHelp Wanted: PharmacistsBy Andrea Pacheco, Associate Director of Alumni RelationsThese days the words recession and healthreform have become household terms. Inbetween all the uncertainty, we’re going toleave the sub-prime melt downs and healthcare policies to the folks at CNBC and shed apositive light on the profession of pharmacy.While the recession has claimed millionsof jobs, pharmacy positions are one of thefew that remain on the help wanted signs.As the U.S. population is taking moremedicine and pharmacists are spendingmore time with patients to help manage theirchronic diseases, it is easy to understandwhy the United States Department ofLabor indicates pharmacy employment isexpected to increase by 22% in the next10 years; which is much faster than theaverage rate of growth for occupations.But even with the projected employmentincrease for pharmacists, will this wobblyeconomy and the heated discussionson health care support the career’sgrowth? Here, in their own words, arewhat three 2009 Pharm.D. graduateshad to say about entering the professionduring these uncertain times.Ijeoma Uwakwe, Pharm.D. ’09Staff Pharmacist, CVS/pharmacy“The economy has played a very big rolein my decision to accept a position atCVS/Caremark. My initial desire was towork with the commissioned corps butwith the state of the economy, it will behard for my husband to find another jobin his field if we relocate. I also took intoconsideration the cost of driving to work andthat is why I was glad when I got a positionin my hometown store in Wilson, N.C.As it is now, I still believe there are alot of opportunities in the pharmacyprofession even in this economy. Withthe new health care reform proposed bythis administration, preventative medicineand care will play a larger role. Thepharmacist will have more opportunitiesin the community to undertake weight lossprograms, smoking cessation, diabetescontrol, cholesterol management, etc.I am actually excited and looking forwardto some of the changes that will comewith the new health care reform beingproposed. As talks are being made abouthaving head-to-head drug trials in themarket and reducing the number of drugsin the same class, pharmacists will playa big role in interpreting these studiesfor patients and providers as well.”Bryan Turner, Pharm.D. ’09Staff Pharmacist, Cape Fear Valley Hospital“As graduation approached in May,I was very interested in finding a jobsooner rather than later. I began makingcontacts in early fall and accepted myjob offer at Cape Fear Valley Hospitalin Fayetteville, N.C. in December andactually started training before graduation.The current economy really did not affectmy decision to work at Cape Fear; italmost seemed surreal that everyone wasgetting laid off and I was turning downjobs for six figures. While searching fora job, I was shocked to find that someof the retail companies did not need anypharmacists in the areas of the state thatworked for me. I definitely think it is anadvantage to be available to relocate.I’m not completely sure of all the ins andouts of the new health care reform, but Ido know if 48 million people have newinsurance plans then pharmacists will bein even greater demand which leads tojob security. It may even turn out to be aspringboard for pharmacists to play an evengreater role in the overall health care team.”Nicole Panosh, Pharm.D. ’09Pharmacy Administrative Resident,Duke University Hospital“Although I had already decided to applyfor residency before the economic downturn,the current market did solidify mydesire to obtain post-graduate training.During my rotations, I saw the differencebetween clinical pharmacy positions atacademic institutions and that in communityhospitals. I liked what I saw in academicsettings because I like the idea of having anintegral role on a multi-disciplinary team.I truly believe this model is in the bestinterest of the patient. For me, a residencywas the best way to obtain a position thatallowed me to work with a team in this way.It is definitely harder to enter a careerin health care since the down-turn inthe economy. I believe this has been asurprise to some who may have thoughtthat health care was somehow insulatedfrom what is going on in the economy.Health care reform will also have animpact on pharmacy. Even though no onecan be sure what that impact will be, weall must pay attention and make sure wecollectively speak up in order to allowthe practice of pharmacy to continueto progress as it has been. The role ofpharmacy, at least in the health-systemsetting, has changed significantly in thelast several years and it is important wedo not lose what has been gained.”22College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences

School of Lawthe life of Campbell Law School, we are apart of the second big dream,” said Essary.Dr. Jerry Wallace acknowledged CampbellLaw’s storied past while looking forward toa bright future in Raleigh. “The beginningof the Law School was a new era forCampbell University. The rest of the storyhas been the growth, success, vision andhistory of the Norman Adrian WigginsSchool of Law,” he said. “We are goingto miss the Law School in Buies Creek,but the move to Raleigh will help all theprograms at Campbell University.”The School of Law held a closing ceremony on Aug. 21 before their move to Raleigh.Law School Holds ClosingCeremony in Buies CreekBefore Move to RaleighBy Julie Lechner, Assistant Director of Development & CommunicationsProfessors Margaret Currin and Pat Hetrickshared their memories of the early daysof the Law School and how they ringfamiliar even now. “Touring the newfacility with a hard hat on reminds me oftouring Old Kivett with a hard hat on,”said Professor Currin. “Even in those earlydays, we knew we were getting a top notchlegal education. That has not changed.”Professors Tom Anderson and CharlieLewis also participated in the program.Campbell University’s Norman AdrianWiggins School of Law held a closingceremony on Aug. 21 to celebrate its34-year history in Buies Creek and welcomethe new traditions to be created at theLaw School’s new home in Raleigh.On hand were members of the LawSchool faculty and staff, as well as specialguests from the Campbell Universityadministration, including: Dr. JerryWallace, President; Dr. Dwaine Green,Provost & Vice President of StudentAffairs; and Mr. Jim Roberts, VicePresident for Business & Treasurer.Dean Melissa Essary opened the programby quoting Johann Wolfgang von Goethe,“Dream no small dreams for they have nopower to move the hearts of men.” Shecontinued by talking about the dream ofDr. Norman Adrian Wiggins, to createa leading school of legal education atCampbell and how, in 1976, that dreamwas realized. “As we enter a new phase inWhitfield Gibson, the SBA President,acknowledged that while the Law School ismoving to Raleigh, “Many things are goingto come with us. Hard work, professionalresponsibility, ethics and a sense ofcommunity developed here at CampbellLaw will come with us to Raleigh.”Dean Essary closed the celebration ceremonyby reflecting upon the dream in 1976 tocreate a Law School at Campbell. “Ourobligation is to continue and grow the dreamand mission of Norman Adrian Wiggins andthe law school he created,” said Essary.Applications to Campbell Law Up25 Percent: Move to Raleigh Having ImpactBy Julie Lechner, Assistant Director of Development & CommunicationsThe announcement of Campbell LawSchool’s fall 2009 move to Raleigh notonly energized current students, facultyand staff, it also had a direct impact onthe number of applications coming fromprospective students. Through summer2009, total applications to CampbellLaw were up 25 percent over the prioryear while applications to law schoolsnationally were up just six percent.Since October 2007, when CampbellLaw first publicized it was planningto relocate to Raleigh, applicationsfor admission have steadily increased.However, the most dramatic surge hascome in response to the entering class of2009, the first class that will completeall three years of their law schooleducation in the new Raleigh location.Commenting on the increase inapplications, Assistant Dean forAdmissions Lewis Hutchison said,“Today’s students want to be in anurban environment where they cangain experience and see the law inaction. Being within walking distanceof the state legislature, appellatecourts, state agencies and dozens oflaw firms and corporate offices, meansour students will be able to do both.”School of Law23

College of Arts & SciencesAfricaNext Destination forStudy Abroad ProgramBy Susan Welch, Staff WriterDr. Debora Weaver holds a child during her visit toAfrica to explore future study abroad sites.Bordered by Kenya and Uganda to thenorth, Zambia, and Mozambique to theSouth, Tanzania is the home of majesticMount Kilimanjaro, Lake Victoria and thesource of the River Nile. But CampbellUniversity professors Debora Weaverand Donna Waldron didn’t travel to theAfrican continent for beauty. They wereon a mission to launch an intensive newservice-oriented Study Abroad program.Weaver, an associate professor of biologicalsciences and Waldron, assistant professor ofEnglish and director of Campbell’s StudyAbroad program, were scouting out potentialsites that would provide pre-med and AlliedHealth students with extensive “service”or “experiential” learning opportunities.“We want to take small groups of studentsover so that they can do service learningin a clinical setting,” said Weaver, wholived in Tanzania in 1991 and taughtbiochemistry to medical students in themain referral hospital in Dar Es Salaam.Campbell places great emphasis on theservant leadership role in society andencourages students through activities andacademics to apply this model to theirown lives.“The objective of the Study Abroad programat Campbell is to develop these types ofeducational enrichment programs forstudents,” Waldron said.The professors flew to Moshi near theKenyan border and took a bus aroundLake Victoria to Musoma. There theyidentified two sites that would beappropriate for pre-med and Allied Healthservice learning experiences, one atShirati and another at the City of Hope.The other site, the Sota Medical Clinic,is located in the rural village of Shiratiin northwest Tanzania bordered by LakeVictoria near the Kenya-Tanzania border.“Both of these sites would provide studentswith a variety of opportunities,” saidWeaver. “They can work in the clinics, inagriculture, conduct educational workshopson general health, teach English as a secondlanguage and in many other areas.”This Study Abroad program will bepart of a one-month academic coursetargeting health and science majorstaught during spring semester.“I really like this idea because it exposesstudents to cultures and issues in developingcountries where the Study Abroad programhas never been before,” Weaver said.“It also helps the university expandon our mission—using our academic,intellectual and physical abilities toserve the needs of the world,” Waldronadded. “This will be a different kind ofinternational experience for students.”After Weaver and Waldron present theirfindings and the program undergoes furtherclarification, the Tanzanian Study Abroadprogram should be set to launch in 2010.“This is not a tourist program,” Weaverwarned. “We are interested in studentswho are academically rigorous andserious about service. We hope to buildan ongoing relationship with these sitesand return to them in future years.”New General ScienceMinor OfferedA new minor will be offered in GeneralScience in response to the needs ofstudents and the community. The GeneralScience minor will not only recognizestudents who have completed study inthe major branches of science, physics,chemistry and biology, but enable them tomeet minimum admissions requirementsfor a variety of professional schools.“The General Science minor is forthe student who is not a sciencemajor, but would still like to pursuestudies at a professional school suchas medical, dental, veterinary orphysician assistant,” said Dr. MichaelLarsen, chairman of the department ofBiological Sciences. “There is a definitedemand for health professionals inour community, state and nation.”24School of Arts and Science
