COVER STORY

CREED OFFICIALLY INSTALLEDInstallation week marks start of a new chapter at CampbellBy Hannah FaulknerStaff Writer

Campbell University inaugurated J. Bradley Creed in an official ceremony held in John W. Pope Convocation center on April 8.

Dr. Creed is the fifth president in the entirety of the 129 years that Campbell has been in operation, making the installation ceremony all the more special.

“Presidential installations are fairly common public events, but not so much at Campbell University. An installation ceremony seems to hap-pen about as often as Halley’s Comet passes through our solar system,” Creed said in good humor to the con-vocation center filled with students, faculty, board members and friends from colleges around the country.

“I’m convinced from the bottom of my heart to the top of my head that Dr. Creed is the right person to lead Campbell in the years ahead, and we get Kathy, too,” chancellor Jerry M. Wallace said.

Like Chancellor Wallace, everyone in the room was filled with the same excitement for the installation of Dr. Creed and the “first lady of the University” Kathy.

Walking into the convocation center, the stage was set and a ban-ner that dawned the back of the stage denoting Campbell as a “place of opportunities.”

“A door of opportunity opened and, in faith, I walked through it,” Creed said of his decision to become the president of Campbell.

“An opportunity is a set of cir-cumstances that make it possible to do something,” he continued. “Twenty-six year old J.A. Campbell saw an opportunity when he opened Campbell near the banks of the Cape Fear river in 1887, when he enrolled sixteen students in the first class. Since then, students have been coming off of the farms, villages and county seat towns. And soon from big cities, across the state….. and from literally around the world.”

“Here in this place is an opportu-nity for a better life,” said Creed. “A better life involves making a living in

which Campbell prepares students to do. But the path to a better life is an education that stimulates and some-times unsettles minds with new ideas and demanding concepts…Campbell students learn skills of competency that last a lifetime and enable them to survive and even thrive in a complex and changing world.”

“And to the students. There is one reason and one reason alone for Campbell University, and it is you,” Creed stated.

Following the ceremony hundreds of these Campbell students creat-ed a “tunnel of opportunities” that

stretched from the convocation center to academic circle. Each student in the tunnel wore anything from their department shirts, sorority letters and military uniforms to represent the ventures that he or she is pursuing and to show their Campbell pride.

“Campbell pride is strong and robust. There is an enormous amount of love, loyalty and support for this school.”

“A Campbell education is not a transaction,” Creed added. “It is a transformational learning experience that changes lives.”

Dr. Larsen named professor of the yearBy Kaitlyn DixonStaff Writer

Michael Larsen, chair of the de-partment of Biological sciences and well-known environmentalist in eastern North Carolina, was named Professor of the Year for the 2015–2016 school year. This is his second time being named Professor of the Year; his first was in 2011. “The honor is even more meaningful because it comes from the students,” Larsen said.

Larsen received a Bachelor of Science degree in environmental science from Utah State University in Logan, Utah, a Master’s degree in ecology from Rutgers University and a Ph.D. in zoology from North Carolina State University. He was an army officer (retired colonel) with 30 years of service (1976–2006). Larsen served with the Logistical Support group in Nasiriyah, Iraq from 2003–2004. He came to Campbell in 1995 as an assis-tant professor of Biological Sciences and coordinated the Environmental Sciences program at Campbell. Larsen said he believes that his position at Campbell is

one of the most challenging in his life.“Dr. Larsen is, hands down, one of

the best professors I have had here at Campbell,” said Caleb Mann, soph-omore homeland security major and Army ROTC cadet. “[He] is somewhat more of a mentor than a professor. I know I speak for the majority of his students by saying I thoroughly enjoy his classes and am always eager to see what the next class has in store. I do hope to continue speaking with Dr. Larsen as I continue my education here at Campbell, along with picking his brain and learning about his army career and how he was successful and hopefully being able to apply what he has learned to my life both now and in the future.”

Prior to coming to Campbell, Larsen served as a postdoctoral research associ-ate at the Aquatic Ecology Laboratory in the Center for Applied Aquatic Ecology at North Carolina State University. He also conducts and coordinates field and laboratory research in freshwater and estuarine aquatic ecosystems.

“I am both humbled and honored to be chosen by our Campbell students as

the Professor of the Year for 2015–16,” said Larsen. “One of the greatest joys I have in my ‘job’ here at Campbell University is to teach, coach, mentor and help guide our students each day. I truly believe that the first step in ef-fective leadership is to exhibit servant leadership in the model demonstrated by Jesus in His earthly ministry. With God’s help, I strive to be an effective servant-leader in working with our students’ on their exciting academic journey here in Buies Creek. One of the greatest joys of being a professor here in ‘the Creek’ is the positive difference we are allowed to make in the lives of our students and the mutual support of my Campbell family. This is even more fun for me when I get to take my ENVS students into the creek (literally), and other local outdoor areas to learn more about the wonderful natural world that God created. In that way, I strive to help them learn to enjoy and protect the natural world around them as effective environmental stewards, now and into the future.”

Camels strive for greatness this summerBy Christopher WestStaff Writer

Although the summer has yet to begin, it is already off to a busy start for some of Campbell’s students. Many students have traded in beach chairs and sand between their toes for office chairs far, far away from any shoreline.

Sierra Fox, for instance, has gone from picking up ground balls to picking up major news stories. Sierra, who was also nominated as Homecoming Queen this year, gave up her spot as a leader on Campbell University’s Lacrosse team to take a job as a Production Assistant at ABC11 Eyewitness News. For the past year, Sierra has worked as a Production Assistant at ABC11 and her hard work has paid off. This sum-mer she is going to be a production

intern for Good Morning America in New York City. This Emmy Award-winning news program has been the most watched morning show since 2012 and is one of the most popular news programs in the country.

In this internship, Sierra could be doing anything from helping out in the studio and welcoming guests to pitching story ideas to be aired on Good Morning America. She could even be helping producers by going out in the field to assist with shooting live footage for the nationally-ranked news outlet. When asked what ex-cites her most about this amazing opportunity, her response was just as surprising. Sierra said, “I am very honored and thrilled to intern for such a nationally-renowned and award-winning program. My goal is to work my way up to become a reporter at a big, top-market station.

With this internship being in the #1 market, I’m super excited to learn from the best of the best and gain a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is a dream come true!”

Sierra Fox had this advice for Campbell students looking for jobs and internships this summer, “A lot of people don’t think they’ll get the internship so they don’t apply, but you’ll never get the internship you don’t apply for. Just do it!”

Sierra is not the only Campbell student to have big plans over break. Audrey Jordan is interning for NCSU at their global innovation internship. This internship is through the global innovation management program and will give Audrey hands-on experience in the field of international busi-ness and innovation management.

Tips to make the most out of this summerBy Rachel Rock & Christian HornadayEditor-in-Chief & Assistant Editor

With the semester winding down, it is time to look into your summer plans. Since we know it is going to be incredi-bly hard to adjust back to a few months of quiet, home life after spending a year in the roaring town of Buies Creek, we thought we could give you some ideas of things that you could do to add some excitement to your summer.

Here are some tips for making this summer the best one yet:

Go on a roadtrip. This is a fun option and can be as long or as short as you choose. You can spend a few weeks driving across the country with your closest friends or you can find a clos-er destination and make it a day trip. Explore new places and learn about different areas of the state or country.

Reconnect with an old friend. When we go to college, we often lose touch with our friends from high school. Summer is a great opportunity to reach out to someone you haven’t seen in awhile. Grab coffee and catch up with the people who you don’t get to see every day.

Learn a new hobby. Find something that interests you and give it a try. Whether that’s picking up a musical instrument or learning to bake, find something that you have always wanted to learn and try it out.

Find tourist information about your hometown and explore areas you haven’t thought to visit. Since we call our hometowns home, we forget that there are cool and interest-ing things to see in them. Find a local attraction that you have always ignored and explore it.

Do something you used to do as a kid: play putt putt, go rollerskat-ing, visit the park. We forget about the things we did for fun as kids and they are often things that are still fun now. Grab some friends and relive your childhood, even if it is only for an evening.

Read a new book (or twelve). Summer is a great time to catch up on your leisure reading, especially if you get the chance to visit a beach. Read something new and grow your library.

Obviously, summer in college is not all fun and games. Most college stu-dents internships, summer classes and/or summer jobs. However, it is import-ant to use this time to enjoy your life and take time for yourself. Find the balance between work and play this summer before returning to school for another semester.

The truth about the war against the SouthBy Dylan LordStaff Writer

A white male walked into a black church and opened fire on June 17, 2015, killing nine and injuring oth-ers. According to sources, the shooter was looking to start a race war, and ended up adding more heat to the national debate on the controversy of the Confederate flag. Many argue that the flag represents a very dark period in American history, i.e. slavery. To be fair, they’re right, but the retroactive banning of the Confederate flag is only part of a much larger problem: the systematic targeting and destruc-tion of anything that can be related to the South.

On one side, the flag represents slavery, systematic racism, and hatred (which is true), and on the other, the flag represents family, heritage, honor and pride . The latter is a matter of perspective, but, then again, everything is. Now, I understand the argument against the flag, and it has valid points,

but if we are talking about banning the Confederate flag for racism, slavery and hatred, we need to talk about banning the American flag for genocide, racism and hatred.

A lot of people seem to forget in this argument that the Confederate flag isn’t the only flag with a very bloody history. Think of the Native Americans, a group of people that the govern-ment forced off their land numerous times. They, essentially, were treated as second classes citizens, and in some instances slaves. Think of the Chinese immigrants during the California Gold Rush, a group that was treated unjustly by the courts, taxed because they were Chinese and, in general, persecuted by both the people and the governor of California. Even Irish immigrants were mistreated in the 19th century. Despite these instances, I am sure that no one in California and Boston would say their city is a horrible, racist cesspool.

The truth doesn’t matter to most people. What matters is how you see it. Ask a bunch of people a question

and you are going to get a range of opinions. The more controversial the question, the more diverse the answers will be. You’re probably ask-ing, “Okay, what’s the point?” The point is that we all have different views on subjects and, depending on the subject, each side can have val-id points. How about we look at the Swastika? While universally regarded as the symbol for Nazi Germany, the Swastika has a much deeper history in South Asia as a symbol for Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism as an important religious symbol.

In the end, it really just comes down to this: The Confederate flag rep-resents the old South, and yes, slavery and racism are an unforgettable part of its history, but it doesn’t represent what the South is and what I am. The Confederate flag represents more than slavery, just like the American flag represents more than genocide. Should we forget or ignore those dark times? No, they should never be forgotten, but they shouldn’t define us or our home.

“Good to be Alive” in the CreekAndy Grammer and SafetySuit rocked the Convocation CenterBy Katlyn ClarkLife Editor

The rain did not stop the Campbell community from waiting a couple of hours before the doors opened up to the Convocation Center for this year’s Spring Concert. Once the doors opened, students and others flooded the floor area and seats in Gore Arena.

One of those students was senior Rahul Amalean, trust and wealth major, who recalled his thoughts about when he heard that Andy Grammer was the Spring Concert act: “At first I did not think much. I only knew a few of his songs so I wasn’t too excited.” Amalean had a change of heart this past Tuesday night, “But it definitely changed once I heard all of his songs. My favorite part was the ambiance. It was definite-ly a great experience.”

SafetySuit was the opening act and hails from Nashville, Tennessee. They opened up with “Looking Up,” and the lead singer, Douglas Brown, went into the crowd, held a girl’s hand and kissed it while singing.

Senior marketing major Tatiana Amador stated that she is a SafetySuit fan: “I really like their song ‘Never Stop’ and that’s when I started listening to them.” Brown went into the crowd again, and Amador luckily got a selfie with him. “It was so cool. I thought he had already passed my friends and me but he turned back around and grabbed my phone and posed for a picture he took himself. So I forgive him for not playing my favorite song, since he took a selfie with me,” said Amador.

The crowd was able to participate in “Let Go,” and SafetySuit performed a new song called “Numbers or Faith.”

The crowd joined in with singing when they sang a cover of the song “Hallelujah,” originally performed by Jeff Buckley. SafetySuit close their act with “Apology.”

Andy Grammer was set to take the stage next, and I was able to meet up with him to learn more about him. “Before I get ready for a concert, we don’t have like a ritual or any-thing, but today, I might take a nap,” said Grammer.

Leading up to this event, his crew took a red-eye last night and had just come from Charlotte, where he is plan-ning a big NASCAR race. So Grammer wasn’t able to tour around the campus earlier that day.

Grammer was able to share upcoming plans for his career: “Heading out on

Theatre department presents “This Body the Earth”By Taylor Mckaig Staff Writer

Director Bert Wallace brings an adaptation of Paul Green’s novel, “This Body the Earth,” front and center to CU’s stage in the theatre department’s annual spring produc-tion. Wallace decided to write a stage production of the novel because it hit very close to home. That’s right, the story is centered right here in Harnett County. Pulitzer Prize-winner Paul Green himself was a native of Harnett County.

Published in 1935, his story is set in Little Bethel, which is really based off of Buies Creek, and emphasizes a time in which “Poor whites vied with former slaves and the offspring of slaves to eke out an existence from

land they seldom owned.” Green’s work ties together a unifying theme in each of his novels. That theme is shining light on the injustices of ra-cial inequality. “This Body the Earth” is no exception.

The basic premise of the story took the audience back to post-Re-construction of the south. The production depicts the endeavors of Alvin Barnes and his family, who are North Carolina sharecroppers in the early 1900s. The novel is meant to strike an emotional consciousness that unravels “passages of almost unremitting sorrow and weariness, Green conveys the seasonal burdens of the sharecropper, the dismal life of toil and physical pain that was the lot of people who lived in the shotgun tenant houses.”

One of the actors in the play, junior theatre major Emma Leatherwood, will be acting in three separate roles.

Senior Spotlight: From Buies Creek to the Big AppleBy Katlyn ClarkLife Editor

Senior theatre major Lori Minor is about to head to the city that never sleeps. Minor grew up in the Campbell community and was able to pursue her passion for act-ing. “I’ve always been interested in singing. When I was in elementary school I was given the opportunity to audition for and perform with the Harnett County Honors Chorus in Scott Concert Hall in the Fine Arts Building on this very campus,” said Minor, “I didn’t get involved in theatre until I was fourteen when I auditioned for a production of The Sound of Music at Heart of Harnett Playhouse.”

Minor said being involved in the-atre helped her emotionally, “Theatre literally saved my life. I’ve dealt with depression since a very young age and because of this, I was homeschooled in high school. Theatre offered an es-cape and has become the best therapy I could have ever received.”

Minor isn’t the only one in her family that has gone to Campbell,

this place has been very dear to her heart. “Campbell University has always been home to me. My grand-mother and mother both graduated from Campbell when I was ten, so I grew up on campus,” said Minor. She recalled that stadium apartments used to be family housing and that she lived there with her mom and grand-mother when younger. Minor also

attended Buies Creek Elementary, so this place has held many mem-ories for her. While Campbell does not have a musical theatre program, Minor felt compelled to apply, “I wanted to follow in [my mother and grandmother’s] footsteps, so I decided to apply here.” Minor was accepted

Football player is named first ever Mr. CampbellBy Sierra Fox Staff Writer

Campbell student and Miss Princess of North Carolina Meagan Shaffer hosted the first ever Mr. Campbell pageant on April 15 at 7 p.m. in Turner Auditorium. Knox Gibson, Parker Gallagher, Ian McAlister, Geoffrey Leins and Laurin O’Briant were all partici-pants. Ian McAlister was runner-up and the first-ever Mr. Campbell was Laurin O’Briant!

O’Briant, also known as O.B., received the “Camel Gear” award, as well as the award for having the most festive attire. You can usual-ly find O’Briant wearing #63 on the football field, but by the end of Friday night he was dawning a crown on stage.

“It makes me very Campbell Proud to be Mr. Campbell and I am very glad I participated in this awesome event,” he said.

O’Briant is a 6'7" redshirt junior offensive tackle on the football team majoring in business admin-istration. Coach Mike Minter was one of the judges for the pageant and this is what he said about his player, “It’s exciting for him to win the first Mr. Campbell pageant. It should be a football player to repre-sent Campbell. He did a great job, despite the white socks he wore.”

Mr. Campbell had some of his football teammates in the audi-ence cheering in support of him. O’Briant was very charming and had a great time throughout the event. He said, “Beach wear was such a fun portion, but my favorite thing about this event was the charity in which the proceeds go to. I think Victory Junction is such a great cause.”

and has enjoyed attending Campbell these last four years, “I am so pleased that I chose to come here. I have been blessed with professors like Bert Wallace, Georgia Martin, and Sally Thomas who have sculpted me into the confident performer I am now and I wouldn’t be where I am today without them.”

During Minor’s time at Campbell, she has been involved in many of the Campbell University theatre produc-tions, “Participating in Campbell University productions has been nothing less than magical. I’ve had two leads, a few supporting leads and many ensemble roles, and all of them have been so much fun.” Minor has helped behind the scenes, as well. She has taken on multiple different roles, such as stage manager, light and sound board operator, deck crew and house manager. While she loves to act, the behind the scenes work taught her how to be well-rounded when involved in a production.

Minor decided to take acting on as a profession because it has helped her so much with her personal strug-gles. “Having depression has always made me feel like I’m just not good enough…musical theatre has changed that,” said Minor, “There is no better feeling than coming into an audition prepared and knowing that I did my

best. With theatre, you have to learn that your best is enough.”

Minor was guided through her the-atre career at Campbell by someone that has believed in her. Minor said, “Many times I have psyched myself out over auditions or callbacks and three words given to me by professor of acting Georgia Martin have stuck in my head, ‘You are enough.’”

Another reason why Minor wanted to become a professional actor was because she believes it’s a strength of hers, “I decided to take on acting as a profession because I’m good at it. I don’t feel like I have something to prove or anyone to impress, ex-cept the casting directors of course.” Minor takes this profession as some-thing she will enjoy doing for the rest of her life, no matter the cost. “Acting and singing make me happy. It’s that simple. I’d rather be a hap-py ‘starving artist’ than work a great paying job that makes me miserable,” said Minor.

Minor was given the experience to continue her acting career in New York. “I will be attending The American Musical and Dramatic Academy in New York City for their two-year integrated program for musical theatre. Students are accepted based on an application and audi-tion,” said Minor. “The application

process was pretty straight forward, but the audition had me quite ner-vous, although everyone was so nice and welcoming. AMDA is a very competitive academy with only 500 students total on campus.”

AMDA is known for having many notable alumni, including Jason DeRulo and Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Minor will now be studying her passion at the place where many great talents started their careers. “About three weeks after the audition, I received a phone call from my ad-missions counselor saying I had been accepted. I cried,” said Minor. “It was a very surreal feeling and still is. I am very proud of myself.”

Minor is excited about what lies ahead as she leaves Campbell. “I am most looking forward to being able to continue crafting my art and study-ing under working professionals at AMDA,” said Minor. “I cannot wait to start dance classes and to take the vocal and acting skills I have learned here at Campbell to NYC while learning how to be in the professional world of musical theatre.”

“I’m blessed to have this opportu-nity and am beyond ecstatic to start auditioning for Broadway shows. I’m so ready to take this huge leap and see what the future holds in store for me,” said Minor.

a fundraiser for Victory Junction, hosted by Shaffer whom had the goal of raising enough money to send a child with special needs or a serious medical condition to camp.

Victory Junction is a camp located in Randleman, North Carolina. The camp was started by the Petty family in honor and memory of their son Adam, who has tragically killed in a car accident. He had a dream of opening a camp in his hometown for children with chronic medical conditions. The camp provides life-changing experiences for chil-dren with special needs or serious medical conditions. It is a non-profit organization that runs solely on do-nations and contributions. Children go to camp at $0 cost to the child’s family, but it costs Victory Junction $2,500 to host a child for a week. Victory Junction provides oppor-tunities for children to experience things that they don’t get to do on a daily basis, but that they thoroughly enjoy doing such as: archery, swim-ming, bowling, theatre, dance, rock climbing, zip lining, etc. Victory Junction is an amazing organization that truly changes kids lives.

Shaffer was very proud of all of her contestants and thankful for every-thing they did to raise awareness about Victory Junction. She also said that she appreciated everyone who came out to support the cause.

Here is what she said about the winner, “I am honored that O.B. won this pageant. He has been thrilled to be part of it since the be-ginning and he came to every single meeting. He was always on a roll and ready to go, as well as lend a helping hand in any way.”

While O’Briant was the over-all winner, the other contestants did not go home empty-handed. Gibson raised the most money for this event and was awarded spon-sorship winner, as well as formal wear winner and on-stage question winner. Gallagher won the peo-ple’s choice award and Leins was named Mr. Legs.

She takes on the multiple characters of Annie Barnes (Alvin’s mother), Gertrude Chadbourne, and “a hussy from Fayetteville,” as she described it. “To me it’s so exciting to know that I’ll be the first person to bring these characters to life on stage,” said Leatherwood.

When asked how she felt going into opening night, Leatherwood commented, “It’s really exciting. The most exciting thing about this play, in particular, is that this is the first time it will be performed on stage, so we’ll be originating these roles. I feel like we are all well prepared for this.” Photo by Dia Huth. Perry Balentine and Justin Mckoy in “This Body the Earth.”

Campbell students are traveling far and wide, not just learning to think globally from North Carolina.

Lorenzo Persons is representing the trust and wealth management program in a different part of the country in Austin, Texas where he will be interning for Wells Fargo.

Veronica Hammond is another trust and wealth management stu-dent and she will be interning with SunTrust in Atlanta, along with fellow classmate Abbey Cates. Cates

said that she is most excited living in Georgia for, “the experience I’m going to gain and the availability to resources you don’t get anywhere else, especially here in Buies Creek. The ATL is a business hub with unparalleled opportunity, I’m so thankful for this experience.”

Public Policy student Garrett Daniels will also be in Atlanta, interning for Enterprise Car Rentals as a trainee in their highly selective management internship program.

Mrs. Lisa Youngquist, the ca-reer services and professional development coordinator at the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business, is urging students interested in find-ing summer work or an internship apply as soon as possible. Youngquist said, “Internships are a valuable tool in equipping one’s self for the ul-timate job search after graduation. Please consider learning more about internships and using the resources on campus. It is never too late.”

tour kind of over the summer with a band called Train, which is really cool, and just writing a lot so my next album should be coming soon hopefully.”

Grammer admitted his guilty plea-sure is sugar since he has a strong sweet tooth. “I love donuts. I am like that, basic,” he said when it came to which sugary product he indulges in the most.

Andy Grammer opened up with “Kiss You Slow.” Next, he went to the keyboard and played/sung “Keep Your Head Up.” Grammer and his band were very interactive when they did the two-step to “Blame It On The Stars.”

“When I heard Andy Grammer was performing as the spring concert act, I was pretty excited! He has some popu-lar songs that I know and I figured that with his upbeat style, he would put on a good show for Campbell,” said junior healthcare management major Meagen Kennedy. “My favorite part of the concert was the energy that Andy and his band put into each song. You can definitely tell they are passionate about what they do, and it showed in their performance. I also enjoyed when he sang ‘Keep Your Head Up’ and ‘Honey, I’m Good,’ two of my favorite songs by him.”

Grammer was able to showcase his talents by playing the trumpet when they performed “Trumpets” by Jason DeRulo and beatboxed to “The Pocket.” Grammer said that one of his favorite songs to play when he would he sang out on the streets was Snow

Patrol’s “Chasing Cars,” and he per-formed a cover of it.

He did a Justin Bieber cover of “Where Are You Now,” and a Maroon 5 cover of “Sunday Morning.” Grammer and his band were able to end the show with “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah).”

The minds behind the spring concert are CAB’s Concert Committee.

“Preparing for the Andy Grammer concert was a lot of fun and a great ex-perience. This was my first time being a part of this committee and its one of my favorite committees in CAB,” said sophomore education major Amber Chauncey. “From start to finish of all the planning, organizing and decisions for this year spring concert, I feel it went extremely well. As a committee

we really enjoyed working together to provide the Andy Grammer concert.”

Chauncey will be the concert chair for the 2016–2017 school year and was able to shadow Stephanie Karvosky to see what she was in for next year.

“Without Steph Karvosky, the con-cert chair this year, we would not have been able to do it. She did a great job as the chair and have learned a lot from her to start preparing as the new chair for next year,” said Chauncey.

The last thing I asked Andy was what did he like about the state of North Carolina: “I love your accent, it’s real. The ladies’ accents are really sweet.” Another spring concert is in the books for CAB and Campbell, so now it is time for the concert committee to begin thinking about next year.

Milhouse on the road to the NFLBy LynJosha Russell Assistant Editor

Campbell Football not only has one, but three players that are NFL Draft prospects. The one that seems to capture many professional NFL teams’ eyes is senior defensive lineman Greg Milhouse Jr.

Milhouse, 6’3, 295 pounds, from Garner, N. C., came to Campbell in his junior year after transferring from Appalachian State University to be clos-er to family. As an NFL Draft prospect, Milhouse is on several teams’ radars, such as the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins.

“It’s like a dream come true,” Milhouse said. “This was my main goal, I kept on pressing through and now it’s finally happening.”

Despite all the hurdles on his journey to the NFL, such as a broken ankle, Milhouse was persistent in reaching his goals. A good support system is key for moments like this in anyone’s life. Milhouse has his family, friends and a

trusting Coach Minter. Minter coached Milhouse for two seasons and has seen a tremendous growth in him.

“He was already mentally tough, he took football very seriously,” Minter said. “I’ve seen growth in his leadership and his football game. He had to learn certain techniques that he will need to reach that next level. His foot-ball skills have grown since he’s been at Campbell.”

Training began in January and lasted two months. This is where Milhouse worked with other NFL-minded people and gained the knowledge that he needed to compete on a profession-al level. From getting up early and training all day, he went from being a college kid to being treated like a pro-fessional. Not only is Milhouse being trained physically, but his agent, who is also Minter’s agent, is also bring-ing in other people to do a “Rookie Symposium.” This symposium will teach the draft prospects how to talk, save money, etc. Now that training is over, Milhouse is back to focusing on

football training with heavy weights and getting in better shape.

Thanks to a successful first-ever Pro Day at Campbell where 19 NFL Draft scouts attended, Ugonna Awuruonye, Danny Dillon and Milhouse are on the road to the NFL combine. Minter has seen all of these guys grow and looks forward to how far his Campbell guys will go.

Minter knows first-hand what these players are going through. He went through long weeks of training and physical football himself, but the only difference he points out is the “Rookie Symposium”.

“Training for the NFL Draft and Combine and Pro Day is just like get-ting ready for a job interview.” Minter pointed out. “The great thing about it is that you get two chances.”

Minter looks forward to seeing how far the Campbell players go. For Milhouse especially, he sees him play-ing long years in the NFL, wherever he ends up.

Campbell University’s track and field stars have had strong showings during their indoor season. Now, they are ex-cited to bring it on again at the outdoor Big South Conference Championship May 10–12 at Liberty University.

For the women, Shenelle McKay fin-ished first in the high jump earlier this year at the BSC Indoor Championship. In her freshman year, she was out, injured due to a fractured foot. McKay is very lucky to have recovered, and said that she felt relieved that she was able to come back to perform her talents and do what she loves.

“I mean, it felt great [to get first place] because I wanted to win ever since my freshman year, but I’ve been injured for some time, so I feel like I deserved it,” said McKay.

As for the men, Lorne Jenkins

set two personal records in the long jump and triple jump at the Indoor Championship.

“It was amazing because everyone wants to go out there and jump the far-thest they ever have and it was fun that I got to go out there and do it twice,” said Jenkins.

Both McKay and Jenkins are viewed as leaders on the team. There are three talented freshman jumpers on the squad, and Jenkins mentioned how amazing it is to watch them grow.

“We have all been growing togeth-er as a unit which has been great,” said Jenkins.

Besides doing drills, lifting weights and running around the track, McKay and Jenkins agree that their coach mentally prepares them to do well and have a good time jumping. Coach Harris tells the jumpers not to focus on watching the marks on the track.

McKay and Jenkins both said it is

all about enjoying what you are doing and staying focused. McKay said she tries not to overthink. She just focuses on her goals.

Being a Division I student-athlete is a full time job and McKay has good advice for all students that have a lot on their plate, “Just do your best. Focus

on your goals and don’t try to pres-sure yourself too much because that does not help.”

With the BSC Outdoor Championship quickly approaching, both men’s and women’s jumpers are hoping to give it their all and go far in the championship.

With the regular season coming to a close for the Campbell Lacrosse team, seniors Erica Hitch and Loren Day are competing in the NCAA rankings for assists and goals scored under the direction of head coach Dawn Easley.

Senior leadership was one of the main themes going around the team this season, and both Day and Hitch have stepped out on the national plateau. Day is in second place in the national rankings with 59 goals behind the leader of the country Courtney Murphy of Stony Brook University, who has 62 goals.

Rebecca Sheinfeld is a fellow senior on the Campbell Lacrosse team and has played alongside both of her team-mates for the past four seasons.

“[Hitch and Day] do a great job of using their leadership to help everyone on the team succeed,” said Sheinfeld. “They use the other players to set them up to score goals and earn assists.”

In her collegiate career, Day has scored a total of 183 goals and has recorded 241 points. Back on April 2, Day set a new single-game record with eight goals against Radford.

“I think it is an unbelievable and a humbling experience [to be one of the top nationally ranked goal scorers in the country], and I obviously wouldn’t be here without my teammates,” said Day. “Erica is good at setting me up to score along with the rest of the offense. If it wasn’t for the way the team works well together; my success wouldn’t be possible. For every game, we win and lose as a team, no matter what.”

Hitch is competing in the national rankings in assists after leading the Campbell squad for the 2016 season so far. Hitch has a total of 98 assists in her career as a Camel and has 240 points over the past four seasons.

“With the national rankings in assists, I have to give all of the credit to who I am making my passes to,” said Hitch. “If my teammates can’t catch and score it, I am not going to

get credit for the pass. Loren and I work together on the top, and a lot of times Loren will cut in and I’ll pass it to her.”

This season, the Campbell Lacrosse team holds their best conference re-cord in program history at 5-2. Over

the past three seasons, the Camels only had two wins in BSC play up to this point in the season. Overall, the team is 9-7 in the season, which is the highest amount of recorded wins in a season for Campbell Lacrosse program history.
