Back in 2012, an assistant professor at the University of California at Berkeley released a study that tracked what wins by a university’s football program meant for that school’s enrollment and alumni giving the following year.

Among his findings: a one-win increase during a football season meant an additional $74,000 in gifts to the athletic programs, an addition 104 applications for admissions and an in-state enrollment increase of about 17 students.

A five-win increase in football meant a 28 percent jump in athletic donations, a 76-stu-dent in-state enrollment increase and even a 9-point increase in incoming SAT scores for accepted students.

Long story short — a winning football program gets a school noticed by everyone. Now, this study dealt mostly with larger schools with larger football programs. I’m certain the same line of thinking applies to a smaller school like Campbell. In fact, I think athletic success helps us out even more.

We all agree Campbell’s a great school. One thing it doesn’t have going for it though is an instantly recognizable national brand. Even with a unique mascot, the percentage of those outside of N.C. who know much, if anything, about Campbell is low.

Our sports programs helped change that a little in 2013-14. Our women’s golf team was by far the smallest and most “unknown” program in this year’s 32-team NCAA championship in Oklahoma. And our base-ball team’s trip to the NCAA regionals put Campbell on national TV three straight days.

A trip to the NCAA basketball tourna-ment ... a huge football upset ... another viral sports video — these would do wonders for Campbell’s national brand.

It’s reason enough for all of us to support our athletes and our athletic programs. It’s an exciting time to follow Campbell sports — and potential students are taking notice.

“I still talk about my experiences at Campbell all the time in my songs and with my friends. Be-ing able to say that I went there makes me Campbell Proud. I was changed because of the things I was able to do at Campbell.”

— Christian hip-hop recording artist Ernest ‘Applejaxx’ Owens, a 2004 Campbell graduate and current graduate student at Harvard

Last fall, Lt. Col. Edward Pethan (‘89) became only the second Campbell University graduate to become a

Professor of Military Science — the top po-sition — for Campbell University’s ROTC program.

The position was only temporary (Pethan filled in for a year until Lt. Col. Brian Scott was selected by the U.S. Army to fill the role), but the experience was a great one for Pethan. It was so great, in fact, that instead of returning to retirement, Pethan chose to remain at Campbell to join the university’s football staff in a leadership role.

A native of rural Wisconsin, entered the Army in 1984 straight out of high school and decided he wanted to pursue a degree while stationed at Fort Bragg. An average student when it came to science, math, English and the basics, Pethan excelled in Campbell University’s ROTC program.

He was an A student in his military cours-es and a member of the ROTC’s Ranger Challenge team that won the region’s annual competition of skill, physical ability and military knowledge.

“I’ll admit now that one of the reasons my GPA suffered was the time I put into the

challenge,” he says. “I spent every moment I had training for the rope bridge, patrolling night or getting ready for the 10K march. The whole experience taught me a lot about myself and what I can do. It’s the fondest memory I have of this ROTC.”

Pethan graduated in ’89, and two years later, he was deployed to Iraq for Operation Desert Storm. He later served in Haiti in ’95 and in Kosovo in 2001.

While in Kosovo — a peace enforcement mission that involved intercepting weapons and drug smugglers — Pethan met Presi-dent George W. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and presented a “fairly extensive briefing” on their mission to them.

Two months later, Pethan received news of commercial airplanes flying into the World Trace Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and into a field in Pennsylvania.

Pethan would serve in the Middle East again in 2007 and 2008 before his retire-ment. He returned to work for Fayetteville State and Campbell Battalion as assistant PMS before taking over the lead role last fall.

“The basic duty of a PMS is to oversee the program, make sure we’re recruiting quality cadets and make sure the cadre instructors are qualified and competent,” Pethan said in a Campbell Magazine interview last spring, before joining the football staff. “Teach-ing the MS4s (seniors) was the best part of this job. Don’t get me wrong, I love getting out and talking to new prospects or young cadets, but the opportunity to be in the classroom or on [field training exercises] with our seniors to coach, teach and mentor them … if I could do that every single day forever, it’d be my dream.”

He’ll get an opportunity to continue to mentor and teach young men — this time athletes — in his new role.

Dr. Glenn Jonas’ book on First Baptist Church, Raleigh’s 200th anniversary was so well received, Raleigh’s First

Presbyterian has asked him to pen their bicentennial publication

Dr. Glenn Jonas’ book commemo-rating the bicentennial of Raleigh’s oldest Baptist church was so well

received and appreciated, the church just down the street wanted Jonas to write one for them as well.

“Nurturing the Vision: First Baptist Church, Raleigh, 1812-2012,” chronicled the 200-year-old church decade by decade from North Carolina’s growth as a fairly new state to the Civil War, through World War II and into the 21st century. Jonas,

a professor of religion and chairman of Campbell University’s Department of Re-ligion and Philosophy, published the book through Mercer Press in 2012 after roughly four years of research.

“I think it’s different from other books on church history,” Jonas said. “While many may focus solely on the church, I wrote in each chapter about what was go-ing on in the nation at the time — or the city of Raleigh at the time — and intersect-ed that with what was going on with the church. Those interested in Raleigh history, North Carolina history or Baptist history in general will find something interesting in this book.”

The book — in addition to several peer-reviewed articles, essays, book chapters and reviews during the 2013-14 academic year — earned Jonas the D.P. Russ Jr.

and Walter S. Jones Sr. Alumni Award for Research Excellence, now in its second year. Jonas said he was honored to receive the award and even more so because it recog-nized research.

“I’ve always felt like the ideal faculty member is a person who can balance good teaching with good scholarship,” Jonas said. “We as professors are deficient if we’re just teaching the same stuff over and over again. Research in our fields allows us to keep what we’re teaching in the classroom updated and fresh. To have been recognized for teaching in the past and now research is very fulfilling for me, professionally.”

ROUND TWOShortly after “Nurturing the Vision” was

published, Jonas was approached by church leaders from First Presbyterian in down-

town Raleigh, located “just a few churches” down from First Baptist. First Presbyterian will be celebrat-ing its bicentennial in 2016 and has worked with the First Baptist church leaders on several projects over the years.

Jonas said he was hesitant at first to take on another project the magni-tude of his previous book, but the more he thought about it, the more exciting the idea became.

“I had just climbed Mt. Everest with the last book, and originally I told them I didn’t want to turn around and start climbing back up again,” Jonas said. “And I knew it’d be more of a stretch for me to write about a Presbyterian church, since I had so much background knowledge of the Baptist church going in to the first book.”

But Jonas soon realized that much of First Baptist’s history — how it survived wars and the role it played in other important parts of North Carolina and American history — would mirror First Presbyterian’s. And the differences in those histories would prove to be equally fascinating, Jonas said.

“I’ve learned a great deal about the two pastors from the churches during the Civil War era,” Jonas said. “Lately, I’ve been wondering about just how well these two men — very promi-nent and well-known ministers — knew each other. Did they see each other and work together a lot? Did they go and have coffee? What was the nature of their relationship? Little things like that have made this more fun to do.”

Jonas has taught at Campbell Uni-versity for 20 years. He has received numerous “professor of the year” and Dean’s Award accolades and recently had the Pine Burr Yearbook dedicated to him. Dr. Barry Jones, who nomi-nated him for the research award, called Jonas “a model of collegiality.” Dr. Adam English, who presented him the trophy at the Senior Awards Banquet in April, said, “Dr. Jonas mentored me as a young professor with wisdom and professionalism. For that I will always be grateful.”

Diminutive in stature and soft-spo-ken, Dr. Yu-Mong Hsiao stands tall and is heard loud and clear in her

classroom. Recognized for willingness to experiment

with teaching styles and her meticulous tracking of student learning and perfor-mance, Hsiao was honored with the D.P. Russ Jr. and Walter S. Jones Sr. Alumni Award for Teaching Excellence in 2014.

Her colleague, Dr. Mark Steckbeck, nominated Hsiao for the award, noting that he’s regularly observed her going out of the way to assist students her may be struggling in her economics or quantitative methods courses.

Now in her 30th year at Campbell, Hsiao said it was a “huge surprise” when she learned of the honor. “I could not believe what I heard until Dr. Steckbeck reassured me it was real,” she said.

She was doubly surprised that she was also the recipient of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business’ Dean’s Excellence award, presented to her this spring by Dean Keith Faulkner.

“Over the past 30 years, she has risen to the rank of professor, obtained tenure and taught a broad range of courses in account-ing, business administration and economics at both the undergraduate and graduate level,” Faulkner said. “Both current students and alumni alike will testify to the demand-ing nature of Professor Hsiao’s instruction style. She is an advocate for setting high expectations and for providing students with the tools to achieve the standard.”

ENCOURAGING THOUGHTIn her Economics 201 course, Hsiao

offers the well-known “prisoners’ dilemma” to her students … a lesson in strategy in social science that helps students understand what governs the balance between coopera-tion and competition in business, politics or social settings.

The scenario reads: “The police have caught two suspects (A

and B) involved in a bank robbery case, but only have enough evidence to imprison each for 1 year. The police question each in sepa-rate rooms, offer each the following deal:

If you confess and implicate your partner, you go free.

If you do not confess but your partner implicates you, you get 20 years in prison.

If you both confess, each gets 8 years in prison.

If you were Suspect A, would you confess or not?”

These thought-provoking scenarios often lead to lively discussions. As does Hsiao’s regular use of music and movie clips at the beginning of class to illustrate economic concepts. An example is the Disney-Pixar short, “One Man Band,” which provides a fun lesson in monopolies and duopolies.

Hsiao has embraced technology in her teaching methods as well, regularly using Blackboard to manage her courses and post-ing all of her lectures and assignments online via Tegrity software.

“Her students consistently score higher than the national average, offering proof that her interactive teaching and learning strate-gies are highly effective,” Faulkner added.

She has been awarded a Certificate of Achievement for the Teaching Innovation Program from the American Economic As-sociation, and each year, she attends teaching workshops in order to remain current on the best practices in the teaching of economics.

A North Carolina Certified Public Ac-countant, Hsiao earned her Ph.D. and Master of Economics from North Carolina State University, an MBA from Mississippi State University, and her BA in economics from the National Taiwan University.

Hsiao earns dean’s award,alumni award for teaching

Wesley D. Rich, Ph.D., has been appoint-ed chair of public health and associate dean of administration at Campbell University’s College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences, effective June 1. He is currently the college’s assistant dean of administration and assistant professor of public health.

Rich joined Campbell in 2007 as the director of assessment for CPHS and was appointed assistant professor in the college’s clinical research program in 2009 and served as interim chair in 2011. He was later ap-pointed assistant dean of administration and assistant professor of public health in 2011. He received the Dean’s Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2013.

During his time at Campbell, Rich has provided evaluation services for the Doc-tor of Pharmacy program and was heavily involved in the college’s ACPE self-study for

accreditation in 2009. In addition, he led the college-wide strategic planning efforts in 2010 and the feasibility study and imple-mentation efforts for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program, which is currently accepting students for the fall semester.

Rich holds a Master of Education from Campbell and received his Doctor of Philosophy in Research and Policy Analysis from North Carolina State University.

The public health program at Campbell was announced in 2011 with the purpose of addressing the shortage of public health professionals in the community and the state with a focus on rural health care dispari-ties. The college offers several dual-degree program options that allow students to earn their Doctor of Pharmacy, Master of Physi-cian Assistant Practice, or Juris Doctor along with a Master of Science in Public Health.

The Campbell University Lundy-Fetterman School of Business unveiled a new logo as a part of a strategic re-branding exercise implement-ed by Dean Keith Faulkner and the faculty.

The new logo, designed by Raleigh-based Winnow Creative, maintains visual continuity and brand recognition with the institution’s previous mark by highlighting an updated rendering of the cupola atop

the Campbell Business building.“Our new logo provides us with a fresh

look that pays homage to our deeply-rooted history,” said Faulkner. “This is a time of positive change and growth, for Campbell Business and the university as a whole, and this logo captures those sentiments perfectly.”

The goal in developing the new logo was to create a distinctive and identifiable image that builds upon the solid founda-tion of Campbell Business, while projecting growth and new beginnings.

Sorority to host national convention in 2015Campbell University’s Alpha-Xi chapter of the

Sigma Alpha Omega sorority was told to “dream big” when it came to what they wanted for their chapter. Now, one of those “big dreams” has become a reality with Alpha-Xi being selected to host the 2015 National Sigma Alpha Omega Convention.

How did Alpha Xi President Kendall Tart react when she found out Campbell had been selected to host the 2015 national convention? “I was flabbergasted,” Tart said, “but we are honored to have the opportunity to host the convention at Campbell and look forward to having the sisters of Sigma Alpha Omega in Buies Creek.”

Law School 1 of 16 in national mock trial tourneyCampbell Law School has received an invitation

to the National Institute of Trial Advocacy’s Tour-nament of Championships mock trial competition.

One of the premier mock trial competitions in the country, only 16 law schools are invited to the Tournament of Champions.

“This is a great achievement for our advocacy program,” said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leon-ard. “This invitation further publicly solidifies the success that our program has enjoyed, as well as the bright future ahead for our students.”

Campbell Law last received an invitation to the Tournament of Champions in 2001.

Pharmacy, Business announce 2 dual degreesThe College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences

is expanding its partnership with the Lundy-Fet-terman School of Business to offer two new dual degree programs at Campbell University this fall. Students may now earn a Master of Business Ad-ministration (MBA) while simultaneously earning a Master of Science in clinical research or Master of Science in public health degree.

This new expansion will allow more students from the health sciences programs to cultivate management skills, gain exposure to relevant areas of business, and expand their problem-solving abilities.

Law School in Top 22 on National Jurist list Campbell Law School has been named to a list

of the top 22 private law schools in the country for best value by The National Jurist. In selecting in-stitutions for inclusion, the publication considered a number of academic and financial variables, including price of tuition, student debt accumula-tion, employment success, bar passage, and cost of living figures.

The complete list is available via The National Jurist.

“The National Jurist is publicly expressing a sentiment that we’ve known for quite some time,” said Campbell Law Dean J. Rich Leonard.

Briefs

Campbell University has secured the services of Dr. Paul Kauffmann, professor emeritus of engineering at East Carolina University, to serve as a consultant as it works toward launching the proposed Bachelor of Science in Engineering program that the Board of Trustees approved this past spring. Kauffmann will help Campbell ad-vance and hone its early feasibility study for the engineering degree and provide guidance on program development.

“Paul has an outstanding pedigree, and he’ll be an incredible resource,” Campbell Provost Mark L. Hammond said. “He’s looking at finances and facility plans. He’s going to help us understand our lab space and square footage needs. He’s going to help us finalize what should be the size of the program and the type of concentra-tions we should offer at the onset.

“Paul is going to help us take the steps we need to take to begin building this program from the ground up in a manner consistent with ABET accreditation.”

Kauffmann has experience in starting B.S. in Engineering programs. He joined East Carolina in 2003 to establish its engineering program, which welcomed its first students in 2004. Prior to that, Kauffmann was an engineering professor at several other universities, including Old Dominion University, and worked as an engineer at Phillip Morris for 20 years. He earned his bachelor’s in electrical engineer-

ing and master’s in mechanical engineer-ing from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in industrial engineering from Pennsylvania State University.

“I see Campbell’s vision for an engi-neering program as a huge positive for the university and for the state of North Carolina,” Kauffmann said. “The program will help fill a need for more engineers and a more globally-competitive workforce in North Carolina. Engineering will also add to Campbell’s portfolio of excellent sci-ence- and mathematics-oriented programs. I’m glad to be a small part of the univer-sity’s efforts and to help with this planning process.”

Campbell announced in May that its trustees approved the establishment of a B.S. in Engineering program, which will initially emphasize preparing students to be general engineers. Concentrations may grow after the launch, particularly in Campbell’s health sciences programs.

Hammond said Wednesday the feasibil-ity study will be fleshed out and refined over the summer and early fall, with the re-cruitment of the new dean for the program beginning later this fall. He anticipates the dean arriving in the summer of 2015, with the first engineering students enrolling in the fall of 2016, pending approval by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges.

Paul Kauffmann, professor emeritus of engineer-ing at East Carolina University, was on Campbell University’s main campus on Wednesday, June 25, to meet with administrators and faculty about Camp-bell’s proposed Bachelor of Science in Engineering program. He spoke to Campbell.edu about why this degree program is needed and why Campbell is well-positioned to add it.

What are your impressions of Campbell?I’m impressed with the faculty and the people. I’m

impressed with the synergy, commitment and focus that everybody has to make the university the best it can be for the students. And I’m impressed with the vision. Obviously I’m a little bit pro-engineering, but the vision of adding engineering seems to be a great move. It’s perfect timing for it, and it’s what the world and what North Carolina needs.

Why does the state need Campbell to start this engineering program?

North Carolina is not producing enough engineers. You can look at the Bureau of Labor statistics and various ratios. You can look at the number of B.S. in Engineering degrees produced in North Carolina versus in Virginia as an example. North Carolina is behind in these statistics. None of us can predict the global economy and the future, but there is broad agreement that we need a larger percentage of the population and those newly entering the workforce to have more technical, quantitative skills. That’s why I think this is the right time and the right place.

What makes Campbell the right place?We can start geographically with its location in the

middle of the state. It’s in a very good position in rela-tion to Charlotte and eastern North Carolina, with the Research Triangle Park and Durham above us, and with Fayetteville and Wilmington within reasonable distances.

More importantly, there’s a basis of solid programs at Campbell that the engineering program can inter-relate with. That’s really a critical thing. And the faculty being willing to collaborate and to make the sums of the parts better than the individual parts -- that’s a unique attribute I see here. The Campbell community wants to see the best for the university. It’s great if the program doesn’t have to grow in a vacuum and if it can grow in a collaborative effort. I see that as being a high likelihood that it’ll happen here.

What have you learned about what it takes to build a solid engineering program?

A key thing I’ve learned from East Carolina is that the program needs to be human, which is obviously not a problem for Campbell. When I say “human,” I mean we need to care about students and give them an opportunity and not let them get hemmed by pos-sible hiccups in high school. At the same time, you need to let them know that engineering careers are tough. I see that support system here.

Also, understanding the mission of the university is critical, as well as the idea of collaboration. The op-portunities that can come with collaborating with the medical school and with the pharmaceutical sciences here are all wonderful. It’s important to build those relationships as soon as you possibly can. I definitely see the openness and willingness here to do it.

Campbell Pride reached a whole new level with Campbell University’s employee giving campaign this

year. Now in it its seventh year, the cam-paign had 806 donors and reached a record 94 percent participation rate, up from 78 percent in 2013.

“This campaign serves as an opportunity for our employees to invest in Campbell’s future,” said Sarah Swain ’05, director of annual giving. “Our success exemplifies the level of loyalty and commitment we have towards seeing Campbell thrive.”

Campaign contributions supported the Fund for Campbell, Campbell’s annual fund, academic programs and scholarships, athletics and capital campaigns.

“My gift. My impact.” was this year’s campaign slogan. “We chose that tag line because it emphasizes the importance of every gift, by every individual,” Swain said. “Campbell already has a strong culture of

generosity. We wanted to create a sense of ownership and empower our employees to make an impact on our students’ lives and the Campbell community.”

The campaign kicked off with an em-ployee ice cream social on Feb. 28 with 34 percent of employees already contributing. Over the next four months, 27 depart-ments would reach 100 percent giving. The campaign ended May 31.

“We can’t thank our colleagues enough,” said Britt Davis, vice president for insti-tutional advancement and assistant to the president. “Their generosity and support for our mission is truly a blessing.

“Their support not only benefits our stu-dents now, but will open doors for outside funding crucial to Campbell’s growth and advancement,” Davis said, adding that em-ployee and alumni participation rates are heavily emphasized when the university ap-plies for foundation and corporate grants.

Message froM DIrectorof coMPutIng serVIces

Faculty and Staff: I want to let everyone know that the

next phase of the network refresh has begun and many of you will see activity in and around the network closets in the buildings on main campus and at the Law School throughout the rest of the summer.

This phase of the refresh includes re-placing old network switches and wireless access points with new, and expanding the wireless network. Much of the work is being performed by engineers from

NetUnlimited and NWN. These work-ers should all be easily identified by their clothing which should be emblazoned with their respective company logos or by badges. You may also see NetUnlim-ited labeled vans, trucks, and a golf cart around campus.

Whenever possible we’ll have Comput-ing Services staff accompanying these engineers.

The initial work will be performed in the residence halls to take advantage of the low number of students in these buildings during the summer months. After the residence halls are finished work will continue in the academic and administrative buildings until the upgrade is complete which may run into September. We will schedule any net-work outages to cause the least amount of disruption as possible, mostly early mornings, late evenings, and weekends. These outages should be brief and will be announced ahead of time.

We’re excited to be moving forward with this important phase of the net-work refresh and look forward to more improvements in the future.

reVIsIon to caMPBellMIssIon stateMent

Slight revisions were made to Camp-bell University’s Mission Statement and were approved by the Board of Trustees during their April 23 meeting. Most of the changes were related to the univer-sity’s online programs and wording about extended education. The following is the revised Mission Statement:

MissionThe mission of Campbell University

is to graduate students with exemplary academic and professional skills who are prepared for purposeful lives and meaningful service. The University is informed and inspired by its Baptist heri-tage and three basic theological and bibli-cal presuppositions: learning is appointed and conserved by God as essential to the fulfillment of human destiny; in Christ all things consist and find ultimate unity; and the Kingdom of God in this world is rooted and grounded in Christian

community. The University embraces the conviction that there is no conflict between the life of faith and the life of inquiry.

To fulfill its mission, the University:I. presents a worldview informed by

Christian principles and perspectives; II. affirms that truth is revelatory and

transcendent as well as empirical and rational, and that all truth finds its unity in Jesus Christ;

III. influences development of moral courage, social sensitivity, and ethical responsibility;

IV. gathers a diverse community of learners;

V. delivers academic instruction in the liberal arts and sciences and profes-sional preparation at both undergraduate and graduate levels through traditional, extended campus, and online programs;

VI. transfers to students the vast body of knowledge and values accumulated over the ages;

VII. encourages students to think criti-cally and creatively;

VIII. fosters the development of intel-lectual vitality, physical wellness, and aesthetic sensibility;

IX. forges a community of learning that is committed to the pursuit, discov-ery, and dissemination of knowledge;

X. provides students with servant lead-ership opportunities;

XI. cooperates with other educational institutions to expand learning opportu-nities for students;

XII. offers service and other opportuni-ties to the greater community through athletics, continuing education, and cultural enrichment programming.

“Don’t make me think”When your brain is drained after a long day it feels good to unwind on the couch, right? It’s hard to dive into an activity that requires mental energy. But it’s worth a shot – you may actually feel more energized when you engage your mind in new ways.Try an activity that takes you in a different direction. If you crunch numbers all day at work, try a cooking class or build

a model airplane. If you work with your hands, go to a music concert or join a book club.Explore community programsTake advantage of opportunities through your local community education center, library or college. Check out local parks and museums for special events and programs. Keeping your mind fit can be a fun and rewarding adventure.
