Miss Campbell, Sue Ann Forrest, hosted a panel of Campbell gradu-ates, employees and supporters on the topic of Women in Leadership last Monday. The event was sponsored by SGA. Forrest’s goals for the panel were to encourage young women on the Campbell campus with interest in managerial roles and to emphasize the importance of finding leadership roles for both men and women.

The panel consisted of Judge Ann Marie Calabria from the North Carolina Court of Appeals (’83 Law); Jenna Carpenter, the new dean of Campbell’s School of Engineering; Nancy Duffy, the director of

Campbell’s nursing program; the Honorable Elaine Marshall, the North Carolina Secretary of State (’82 Law) and Hope Williams, the president of the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities.

Britt Davis, vice president for in-stitutional advancement, welcomed everyone to the event. Forrest was the moderator, asking each guest a series of questions about their lead-ership experience and what they hoped that young women would learn from their example.

“I want to see things get better,” said Williams, referring to her motivation for becoming a leader in her depart-ment. “I’ve always tried to figure out

Campbell student hosts event for Sole Hope

Women in Leadership Panel encourages students to achieve greatness

By Kaitlyn DixonStaff Writer

Students are invited to join Strickland hall on Monday, April 25 for a “Shoe Cutting Party.” Resident assistant Anna Marie Vagnozzi will be hosting this event to support Sole Hope, which recruits the help of willing volunteers to donate jean material and cut out pat-terns for children’s shoes. The patterns are then sent to the organization and crafted into shoes, which are given to children in Uganda.

The organization’s purpose is to de-crease harmful foot-related diseases in children. Many of the kids in the area can’t afford shoes, which results in get-ting affected by a nasty parasite called jiggers, common in Uganda, which can be found buried in the dirt floors of many schools and homes of families in this country. The goal of a jigger is to burrow deep into the foot and lay eggs. Over time, the eggs multiply and completely destroy the soft tissue of the foot. This causes very painful wounds that are prone to disease and infection. While jiggers in small numbers are

not deadly, the diseases and infections that come with them can be fatal. Sole Hope provides denim shoes for kids and creates jobs for hardworking shoe-makers and tailors.

“Sole Hope is an amazing organiza-tion that provides shoes for the precious people of Uganda,” said Rebecca Freeze, a junior Christian ministry major. “By simply donating a pair of jeans, one can provide a pair of shoes to someone in need, and also provide jobs for those in need.”

The Sole Hope Project is very pas-sionate about educating people about their mission and work, as well as embodying the love and servant lead-ership of the Messiah. Donation bins for old, unwanted jeans can be found in residence hall lobbies, the front of Lundy-Fetterman, the front desk of the Oasis and the Campus Ministry House. They will be available for donation any-time between now and April 18.

“While shoes may seem like a friv-olous concern to many, it provides so much hope to those in Uganda,” said Freeze. “I think sometimes we forget how truly blessed we are, but through

organizations like Sole Hope, we are reminded of those many small blessings God has bestowed upon us. Likewise, we are reminded of how important it is to spread the love of Jesus Christ in every way possible. Let us continue to spread His love, to be the hands and feet of Jesus.”

If anyone has questions about the

project or is interested in helping with the shoe cutting party, Anna Marie Vagnozzi would be happy to assist you. Contact her via email at [email protected] and check out the project at www.solehope.org.

COVER STORY

Creed makes history in the CreekCreed will be officially installed as 5th presidentBy Christian HornadayAssistant Editor

Campbell students, alumni, faculty and community members are invited to celebrate the installation of Dr. J. Bradley Creed on Friday, April 8 at 2 p.m. in Gore Arena. As preparations are finalized, a week of celebratory events has been planned to showcase the opportunities offered by Campbell and the mission our university upholds.

“This is about where Campbell is today, celebrating how we got there and then where we’re going in the future, and it all comes together on Friday,” said Sarah Swain, assistant vice presi-dent for alumni relations.

The week of events kicked off this past Friday with Relay for Life and will end this coming Saturday with Operation INASMUCH. Both days will highlight Campbell’s mission of service to the community.

Students were also invited to join Dr. Creed on a 5K this past Saturday and then had the opportunity to worship with him Sunday evening at Campus Worship.

On Monday, students can attend a lecture given by Dr. Wayne Flynt and then join in on the President’s Forum on Tuesday. The Campbell Opera Theatre will perform on Wednesday, then students can join Dr. Creed and the first lady, Kathy Creed, for a cook-out on Thursday. This is followed by a showing of “Creed” on Thursday evening. On Friday, all members of Campbell’s community are invited to join the celebration of Creed’s official installation, followed by a reception.

“We want and hope that the students will join us for the celebration and that they will show the pride that they have in us as a university,” said Swain.

As a very important piece of Campbell’s history is being made in its second official installation (but first of this magnitude), it is equally import-ant to look back at where Campbell has come from.

According to Britt Davis, vice pres-ident of institutional advancement and assistant to the president, when J.A. Campbell founded this school, there would have been no coronation and no installation. When he died, his son, Leslie Campbell, was immediately named president.

Our third president, Norman Wiggins, was a Campbell graduate and was on the committee searching for a new president when he was offered the position. At this point in Campbell’s history, the festivities only included an informal picnic with the faculty.

Jerry Wallace was provost when Wiggin’s health began to fail. Wallace was named president out of necessity and was installed in front of the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business.

In 129 years, Campbell has only seen the administration change four times. As the fifth president is installed, students must realize that it is not every day that one will be invited to be a part of such an event.

“I think Campbell is learning and growing into our role as a university; in the last decade we have really embraced the mantra of a ‘university,’” said Davis.

Looking to the past and to the future, there has been a great deal of growth that can be seen across campus, and there is a great deal more lined up for the future.

Ask the editors: Our picks for Reader’s Choice 2016By Rachel Rock, Christian Hornaday & LynJosha RussellEditor-in-Chief and Assistant Editors

As the semester is winding down, the Campbell Times is asking you for your favorite places and things in and around the Campbell community. The Campbell Times editors, Rachel Rock, Christian Hornaday and LynJosha Russell, de-cided to give their choices for some of the categories for this year’s Reader’s Choice Awards. Be sure to check out www.thecampbelltimes.com to have your voice heard for the best of the best at Campbell.

Best coffee houseRachel: “Creek Coffee is the best coffee

place around. While I love Starbucks, Creek Coffee has an amazing atmosphere for doing work and catching up with friends. Also, I love supporting local busi-nesses and you can never go wrong with a Creek Mocha.”

LynJosha: “Creek Coffee; I don’t drink coffee, but their Frozen Hot Chocolate

always keeps me running back to them. Also, the atmosphere is so comfy.”

Christian: “Creek Coffee for sure. The service there is incredible and the atmo-sphere is very relaxed.”

Best restaurantRachel: “I, personally, love Hibachi &

Company in Lillington. They have a lot of great options and very reasonable prices.”

LynJosha: “Too bad Omar’s in Dunn closed, that was THE BEST Italian food and not to mention, Omar him-self was really nice. Now, County Seat is pretty good and affordable. I love their mac & cheese.”

Christian: “Cornerstone Cafe in Coats is my favorite. They have great BLT’s and they offer a great place to hang out and study!”

Best place to study on campusRachel: “While I usually study in my

apartment, I love the second floor group study rooms for whenever I have a project or presentation and I need a nice space to work in a group.”

LynJosha: “I don’t really study, but when I have to it’s for a total time of five minutes in my room and then it’s back to watching Netflix.”

Christian: “I prefer the periodicals room in Wiggins. When I get bored of studying or get to a stopping point, I can grab the current edition of almost any newspaper or magazine to read!”

Best place to take pictures on campusRachel: “You can never go wrong with a

picture in front of the Gaylord statue. He is so cute and unique to our university, so pictures there will always be fun.”

LynJosha: “If you are creative enough, any place on campus is a great place to take pictures. The campus is just so beautiful. The best place is by one of the Campbell University brick walls by the roundabouts. Those are especially perfect for graduation pictures.”

Christian: “The fountain outside of Lundy, for sure. It’s a very well-crafted fountain and I think the water there is prettier than our other two fountains. Plus the benches offer another great photo-op.”

Donald Trump part 2: We’re all TrumpedBy Dylan LordStaff Writer

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say that Donald Trump’s personality has become a major part of his campaign, and given his lack of experience, it’s probably his biggest asset. Throughout his campaign, Trump has established himself as an outsider—a renegade who plays by his own rules. During the Iowa Caucus, Trump skipped the last GOP debate in favor of attending his own rally, where he announced that he raised roughly $6 million for veterans.

Still, we need to look at Trump’s personality, not just the one he’s pushing in his campaign. As explained by Ryne Sherman at Psychology Today Magazine, Trump’s personality is mixed, with its positives and negatives. On the posi-tive side, Trump is results-oriented; he’s ambitious and cares little for the rules,

as long as he gets what he wants. On the other hand, he is impulsive, quick to anger and can overestimate his abilities.

So, what does this say about how he would perform as president? Personally, I feel we need a president with a personal-ity like Trump’s: someone who is strong and able to reassert the United States’ position in the international community. However, we also need a president who can be flexible in his response and able to compromise. Trump isn’t an individual who seems like he is willing to com-promise, and the lack of respect can be detrimental to international diplomacy.

Another factor to consider is his expe-rience. Trump likes to tout his experience as a real estate magnate and the head of a multibillion-dollar corporation as proof that he has the skills necessary to get America back on its feet. However, being the head of a private company does not mean you are suited to be the president.

Many members of Congress, includ-ing members within his own party, may refuse to work with him simply because of who he is. In addition, despite Trump “trumpeting” his experience as the head of his company, he’s had some pretty shaky moments.

Trump has filed for bankruptcy several times for some of his companies: four times in the past 25 years (although it is worth noting that cases like Trump’s are not uncommon in investment). Still, there are instances throughout Trump’s career that are causes for concern.

Trump as a candidate is a mixed bag, possibly with more negatives than positives. While parts of his personality are applicable to a presidency, his lack of experience and hot-headedness can only work against him, but this all just my own opinion. We’ll just have to wait and see America’s opinion.

Senior Spotlight: Jonni MartinGraphic design and studio art major reflects on her time at CampbellBy Katlyn ClarkEntertainment Editor

“Hey, how’s it going?” If you ever hear this, you will know it’s Jonni Martin. Her years at Campbell have been filled with moments that she will never forget and Campbell has become her home away from home.

Jonni Martin was born and raised in North Carolina. She is from Benson, just 15 minutes down the road. She loved growing up in Benson and said, “It’s nice to just grow up where you have stuff going on around, but not a lot going around.”

Martin is a double major in graphic design and studio art. She developed a passion for art ever since she was little, from finger painting to getting involved with art club in middle school. She said, “It wasn’t something that someone had to make a requirement for me, it was something that I just felt called to do.”

While Campbell is just down the road

from Martin’s hometown, Campbell wasn’t on the top of her list. Martin looked into schools such as NC State and ECU that had well known design programs. While looking, Martin took into consideration how much Campbell reminded her of home, as it had the same atmosphere and feel as Benson. “I’m actually glad that I was able to be here and out of all the roads I have tak-en, I was able to be directed to Campbell and to this path,” said Martin.

During Martin’s journey through Campbell, she has been involved in many different groups on campus. She joined Sigma Alpha Omega in April of 2014. One of the many reasons she joined was because it was centered around growing in her faith. “That’s been a part of my faith, and a part of my background and who I am and where I came from, so the Christianity in it spoke volumes to me,” said Martin. She said that along with being a part of SAO, it was important to get involved

and connect with others on campus. You may have also seen Martin

working at the Campbell bookstore, where she has worked for three years. Martin said that she wanted to be able to transition and adjust to the college life her freshman year. When that year was coming to an end, she decided to apply for a job at the bookstore. After a couple of weeks of stopping by to check on the status of her application, she received a call for an interview and got the position. Martin enjoys being able to start conversations with customers and engage with them.“You start to see peo-ple just about every day and when you start to see these people, you really kind of build this relationship with them,” recalled Martin about her time working at the bookstore.

While Martin was able to reminisce about her last four years at Campbell, she was able to think about one of her

Camels travel to the Big Apple

Campbell students celebrate the Holi festival

By Richard WilliamsStaff Writer

Far more upbeat than the Creek, New York City is where a number of Camels enjoyed what some might call a sec-ond spring break. Professor Catherine Cowling and Professor Robert Bidwell and his wife guided 30 students around the city that never sleeps.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the need for increased counterterrorism and homeland security efforts at the federal, state and local levels has taken priority in public safety efforts. In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, many law enforcement agencies shifted their resources or increased departmental spending to improve security for their department, to develop counterter-rorism capabilities and to improve their overall level of preparedness for incidents involving terrorism. It is for this reason that the Criminal Justice Association chose New York City as their destination to acquaint students with the home of the attacks that transformed the field of criminal justice and gave birth to the terrain of

homeland security. “Growing up in a post 9/11 world,

we have all seen the footage, docu-mentaries and films made about those terrible attacks,” said junior history major Kenly Donnie Stewart. “When standing outside the tower and looking up at the 1,776-foot structure, [see-ing] the memorial pools for the fallen towers with all the names of the lost and the Survivor Tree (the one tree that survived the attacks and has been preserved), there [was] a sense of pride as an American that I have never felt before that moment.”

The four-day voyage took students to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, on a Port Authority Police Department-led tour of Ground Zero, on a tour of the 9/11 memo-rial, to the old U.S. Capitol grounds on Wall Street, on a tour of the FBI Headquarters and to the feet of the Statue of Liberty.

New York is home to some of the most distinguished aspects of the crim-inal justice system. “The Port Authority Police Department [have] primary responsibility for the World Trade

Center, the tunnels, the airports and the Port of New York,” said Bidwell. “They work for two states and must have knowledge of both sets of laws and a varied mission. Learning about

The young, the restless and the sleep deprivedBy Taylor MckaigStaff Writer

As finals lurk around the corner, sleep is something many students are beginning to lose. Although the tendency to procrastinate would tempt you to disagree, sleep is ac-tually really important to maintain your overall well-being. Be aware that there are many consequences of an irregular sleep schedule, which could hurt you more than help you in the long run.

Some students, such as homeland security major Chris Sprague, are able to handle pulling all-nighters better than others.

“I would take a better grade over sleep any day. I feel that if I had an adequate amount of caffeine, or a really good meal, that could sup-plement my sleep,” said Sprague. “Although I do feel myself tire throughout the day, I get enough sleep to last me until the weekend when I play catch up.”

First and foremost, lack of sleep affects your performance in the classroom. Staying awake for long periods of time will not only inter-fere with the ability to concentrate, but it will also keep you from being alert. Studying in 50 minute incre-ments may help you retain more than cramming.

If that’s not reason enough to sleep, consider how you’re affect-ing your health. According to aasmnet.org, depriving the body of sleep raises cortisol levels, which is a hormone that causes the body to store more fat. This could potentially lead to craving unhealthy foods and weight gain. The immune system is also affected by poor sleep hygiene.

Q&A with Knox Gibson and Nathan Arp

Knox Gibson 2016–2017 President of SGA

What does it mean to you to be the 2016–2017 president of SGA?

Gibson: “I am absolutely ecstatic to represent Campbell as student body president next year! Campbell is a place that I have fallen in love with since I first stepped on campus. I am excited to get connected with our students, listen to their concerns and opinions, and take those suggestions before adminis-tration to improve our campus.”

What changes do you want to see on campus?

Gibson: “The biggest change I am hoping to bring to campus is the student sentiment of Campbell being ‘not fun’ or ‘boring.’ It is discouraging to me to see parking lots empty out and students return home promptly when their classes end for the week. I want to change the student mindset in believing that Campbell is a place to enjoy your-self on the weekends too!”

What do you love most about Campbell?Gibson: “I love the people that make

up the Campbell community. I love the opportunities that Campbell has already provided for me for both internships and career placement. I love how there are so many alumni across this state who are proud to be Camels.”

What is your dream job?Gibson: “My dream job is to be the

majority owner of a successful invest-ment advisory firm. My envisions include a big office in a skyscraper of a major city with numerous employees who are passionate about client service and money management, just like I am!”

Nathan Arp 2016–2017 Vice President of SGA

How does it feel to be the 2016–2017 vice president of SGA?

Arp: “It has not really hit me yet because my term does not begin until next semester, but I am excited for it to get here! Campbell has given a lot to me and I am thankful and eager for the opportunity to give back to the student body.”

What ideas do you want to implement on campus?

Arp: “I want to change the mindset [that] you can’t have fun at Campbell. Students shouldn’t have to go [to] other places to find things to do for enter-tainment and fun. I want to provide students with more opportunities to enjoy this amazing place. I also want to encourage students to become active parts of the Campbell family.”

Tell me something about yourself that not everyone on campus may know.

Arp: “I am an avid fisherman and I absolutely cannot get enough of it. It has been my biggest hobby since I was very young.”

What do you enjoy most about being a Fighting Camel?

Arp: “I have always loved rooting and pulling for the underdog in sports or any situation. Campbell, oftentimes because of its size or location, is per-ceived as a lesser university. The truth is Campbell students and athletes are some of the most talented individuals in their fields nationwide. This place is always setting new limits and standards, and to me that makes me proud to be a Fighting Camel.”

Knox Gibson will be serving as the student body president for the Student Government Association for the 2016–2017 academic year. Nathan Arp will be serving alongside him as the student body vice president. They have both an-swered a few questions to help students get to know them better and to reflect their hopes for the upcoming year.

Leadershipcontinued from page 2

how we can make things better for our colleges and our students. And all of that in turn makes things better for North Carolina and our country.”

Secretary Marshall agreed with Williams; however, she acknowledged the difficulties that can come with leadership opportunities.

“Just by showing up and saying, ‘I’m different!’ doesn’t make it better for people who have been battle-scarred,” Marshall said. She emphasized the val-ue of good communication, allowing people to take their time when trusting a new leader in their field.

“A lot of leadership has to do with your ability to make relationships,” said Duffy. “I was in the middle of six children. So, I learned early that you spoke up, you negotiated, you bargained. I realized that I am com-petitive, and when I do something, I want it to be done the best, but I had to speak up.”

As a woman, becoming a front-runner may have some additional responsibilities and challenges.

“A lot of the stereotypes about wom-en in our culture are at odds with the kind of things we expect of leaders. That’s the biggest barrier to being a woman in leadership,” said Carpenter. “It’s not intentional; sometimes it’s bias

we’re not even aware of. Many times it’s opposite of our intended bias. I under-stand that it’s not personal.”

Sometimes a particular leadership role is not what was expected, or it’s an undesirable leadership role. Judge Calabria addressed this, speaking of a time when the only leadership role she could find was leading a group of Girl Scouts through Germany.

“You graduate from college, and ev-erything you want to do says you need two years of experience,” said Calabria. “But if you can be on a bus with a bunch of teenage girls for sixteen hours, you can be a district court judge. You never know where your path is going to lead you. Whatever experience you can find will help.”

Carpenter agreed, saying, “There’s been a couple of times when I was giv-en leadership of something I wouldn’t have chosen myself. If you’re in a situation like that, ask yourself, ‘How can I do the best job and do what needs to be done?’ Educate yourself, and figure out what you can learn from this. If you’re going to have to do some-thing, take that and make it valuable for your career.”

their job was beneficial in that it is an unusual police department.” Bidwell added that the New York Field Office is home to 10% of the FBI.

Being able to stand at the feet of Lady Liberty herself was a surreal moment that most students will never forget. In fact, when asked what her favorite part of the trip was, Cowling responded, “Getting to see the Statue of Liberty again—she is amazing—and visiting with one of our graduates, Sabrina DiBenedetto who is now with the U.S. Marshals in NYC.”

As one of those in attendance, the most emotive experiences was the walk

through the 9/11 museum and being able to touch one of the tires that was on American Airlines Flight 77, one of the planes that struck the Twin Towers. “My favorite part of the trip was the 9/11 Museum, although favorite is probably the wrong word. It was emo-tional to see the damage and to hear firsthand from officers who worked the two attacks about their experiences. It brings home what a great tragedy that day was,” added Professor Bidwell.

The trip to New York served not only as sightseeing but served largely as an educational experience that expanded students’ knowledge of the criminal

justice system. “This trip contribut-ed to my education by meeting with agents and having a better understand-ing of what they actually do,” said senior criminal justice pre-law major Breana Rice.

“Seeing firsthand the World Trade Center site and the museum were experiences that will last a long time and will cement lessons learned in the classroom. Meeting and being briefed by supervisory FBI agents helps under-stand the caliber of the agents and the difficulty of their mission, especially in New York City,” said Professor Bidwell.

“As a history major, it allowed me to

experience firsthand the diversity that has defined our nation’s history since its founding,” said Stewart. “NYC is one of the world’s greatest melting pots of languages, ideas and cultures; all you have to do is listen in the city to expe-rience this diversity. Experiencing and witnessing this first hand is an educa-tional experience that cannot be found in a classroom or books.”

The less sleep you get, the more vulnerable your respiratory system becomes, making it easier to contract airborne illnesses, such as the flu.

Another student, senior econom-ics major Hannah Houston, doesn’t need much convincing to get a little extra sleep.

“I have never really found sleep to be something worth losing because I have trouble sleeping a lot of the time. When dealing with late nights, the deciding factor is asking myself what’s the worst that can happen if I did go to sleep,” she said.

If you’ve been searching for strat-egies to help you sleep better, then look no further. The most obvious answer to your dilemma is to take naps. Understandably, some schedules just won’t allow it. However, doing simple things such as cutting down on caffeine and putting away phones before going to bed will not only help you fall asleep faster, but also improve the quality of sleep. Are you a little more serious about your sleep? Try an app called Sleep Cycle; it monitors your sleep patterns and wakes you up at the most prime time during your sleep cycle.

Beauty sleep is no joke, la-dies and gentlemen. So what are you waiting for?

treasured memories from her time here. “I had my exhibition and that has been my favorite because that really allowed me to share my passion with everyone on campus,” said Martin. There wasn’t just one memory that she could share; she also loved being able to attend the different ministry groups on campus, such as FCA and BSU. Martin shared, “I’ve really enjoyed worshipping and going to events like that and sharing that with other people.” She talked about an-other memory that was dear to her heart when she was able to go on a Campbell Mission trip to East St. Louis. She had pondered studying abroad, but did not feel called to go that route. She prayed about her desire to go on a mission trip and was presented with this opportunity. “That was also one of my favorites be-cause it was nice to see how I could help other people,” said Martin.

The journey is close to coming to an end for Martin. “There’s a lot to miss right? There’s a whole lot to miss at Campbell,” she said. “Campbell is a small campus, you do get more of an opportunity to connect with your fellow peers and your fellow students.” She said she enjoyed attending small classes in the graphic design department and speaking with her professors if she needed help. One of the things she said she will miss the most is the community at Campbell. “I will always call it my home away from

home, but just being here, I’ll miss that.”When talking about post-graduate

plans, Martin had a couple of things in mind. She hopes to get involved in the graphic design field that focuses on tech-nology and digital media. Since studio art was one of her first loves, she hopes to have a side business to be able to share this with others in the community.

Martin was able to share a piece of advice with future camels and freshmen: “When you are looking into the school here, remember that as you’re finding your way here, don’t forget where you came from, but when you are here, let this become a part of you.” She ex-plained how Campbell has opportunities

here to grow as a person and as a scholar. “The more you become involved [at] Campbell, I think the more you’ll find growth in yourself,” said Martin, “Just be excited and accept Campbell with welcoming arms because it’s really a great community that adds value.”

“I just want to end it with saying thank you, you know, thank you to everyone here, thank you to the staff, the employees, students, thank you to everyone for being a part of my life.” said Martin.

Watkins steps down after 35 yearsBy LynJosha RussellAssistant Editor

After 35 years of serving as Campbell Women’s Basketball head coach and 549 wins, Coach Wanda Watkins is stepping down.

It brings tears to Watkins’s eyes when she reminisces on her years coaching at Campbell. Watkins has made so many memories and relation-ships that she will never forget.

“It’s been a ride of a lifetime,” Watkins said. “This has been a huge part of my life.”

All of her tremendous work has certainly not gone unnoticed. Watkins is the 29th winningest active coach in NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball and has led several teams to the Big South and Atlantic Sun Conference tournament titles. She has coached and mentored 35 different teams and left an impression on every single player.

Watkins has been at Campbell since she was 18. Her undergrad and

graduate schooling was done here. She was a young and aspiring student athlete who knew she wanted to teach and coach. After she got her Master’s degree, Betty Jo Clarey, head coach from 1976–81, stepped down. At the age of 21, Watkins applied and be-came head coach.

“I have been blessed that Campbell has stood by me for so long,” Watkins said. “And they continue to stand by me.”

Watkins will be using her talents in a different way, moving from the court to behind a desk. She has been hired for an administrative role. Watkins will be the liaison for the office of the athletic director and the university president for the special projects.

“This will be an all new and dif-ferent experience for me. I am going to be a little challenged because it is something I have never done before, but I am looking forward to the op-portunity. I am really grateful for it,” Watkins said.

As Al McGuire said and Watkins

quoted: “You just can’t ride the merry-go-round forever.” Watkins felt in her heart that it was the right time to step down, especially after taking the Lady Camels to the quarter-finals in the Big South Women’s Basketball tourna-ment. When she came to her decision, everyone was accepting of it. As she put it, “The Lord closed one door, and opened up a new one.”

Watkins leaves an incredible im-pression on everyone that she meets, even those from visiting schools. She will continue to be a mentor to all the coaches and players here at Campbell.

The search for a new coach has begun, but the candidate has some big shoes to fill.

“There is great interest in our current search for the next head coach,” said athletic director Bob Roller. “Those in the basketball world recognize the commitment and support that is in place here for the right candidate to lead our program to new heights.”

Q & A with baseball’s Jimmy Monaghan

Hornberger prepares for third Big South tournament

By Sierra FoxStaff Writer

Jimmy Monaghan wears #18 on the baseball field here at Campbell Univer-sity. He is a freshman from La Plata, Maryland and has already made a huge impact on the team.

How was the transition going from high school to Division 1 baseball?

“The transition has been pretty smooth and the work level is expected to be higher, but when every player is talented, it’s the work put into the game which often times separates the good from the great.”

How does it feel to make such a big im-pact already as a freshman?

“Coming in this fall, I didn’t really have any expectations, which I think now is helping me because I’m just going with it and playing with no expectations in order to reduce the stress one goes through when their performance doesn’t accurately portray their capabilities.”

In a game earlier this season, you had two homeruns in a single game. How does that build your confidence for the rest of the season?

“Well, just to do something I haven’t done since I was 13 was an extraordi-nary feeling. It has helped my confi-dence now because I’ve shown myself what I can do, and I’ll most likely think about it if I’m ever struggling just to get that confidence up again.”

What do you enjoy most about being on the baseball team?

“I enjoy the camaraderie I have with my teammates most because at the end of the day when baseball is over they’re what I have, and I’ve never been this close with a group of guys.”

With two weeks to go until Big South tournament play, Craig Hornberger is preparing for his third conference tournament. According to golfstat.com, Hornberger is ranked second in par-3 scoring at 2.95, and 6th in short game percentage at 67.4%.

In Hornberger’s freshman Big South tournament appearance, he tied for 18th place. In last year’s Big South Conference tournament, the Lan-caster, PA native finished and tied for 21st place.

“With the Big South tournament coming up, the most important thing is to always work on your short game,” said Hornberger. “The short game is really where you really save shots and essentially win a tournament.”

Campbell head coach John Crooks

has been coaching Craig for all of his three years at Campbell.

“Craig is coming into his own at the right time,” said Crooks. “The biggest improvement has been in his confi-dence. Mentally, he knows he is good and that belief in himself allows him to be patient on the course, when neces-sary, and aggressive, when necessary.”

Hornberger made his decision to come play golf at Campbell with the help of the 2003 U.S. Open Champi-on, Jim Furyk. Both Hornberger and Furyk are state championship winners who played for Manhiem Township High School in Lancaster, PA.

“Furyk and I are the only two players at Manhunt Time High School to win the high school state championship,” said Hornberger. “After that, Furyk sent me an email congratulating me, and we talked back and forth for a while. I expressed to him about the colleges I

was looking to go to, and he told me that Campbell was a good fit.”

For the past three years, Hornberger has played alongside his roommate, Josh Goheen.

“Craig is an all-around solid player, and he doesn’t make too many mis-takes,” said Goheen.

Goheen has seen the Hornberger’s game improve over their three years playing together as teammates.

“Everybody is doing what they need to do to get ready, but we are still doing things as a team to still have that bond going into the Big South tournament,” said Goheen.

Hornberger and the rest of the golf team return to action on Monday against East Carolina at the Brook Val-ley Country Club before they partake in the Big South tournament, starting April 17 in Ninety Six, SC.
