6 Campbell University Governor Roy Cooper State of North Carolina

orth Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, who was first elected in 2016 and was re-elected in 2020, has spent nearly three decades in public service protecting families, keeping communities safe and working to create jobs and improve Nschools. The son of a school teacher, he knows that education creates opportunity and he has worked throughout his career to strengthen N.C. schools and create a sound foundation for the state’s children. While serving in the N.C. House and Senate, Cooper fought to increase teacher pay and reduce class sizes. In 2000, he was elected as the state’s Attorney General, where he served four terms. He attended the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill on a Morehead Scholarship. After earning a law degree from UNC Law, Cooper returned home to Nash County to practice law and raise three daughters — Hilary, Natalie and Claire — with his wife Kristin Cooper ’82, who is a current member of the law school’s Board of Visitors.

Humrickhouse Andy Jackson The Presidential Medallion & Chain The Honorable Th e Presidential Medallion and Chain are symbols of the Oﬃ ce of the Elaine F. Marshall President of Campbell University. John M. McCabe Th e Chain bears six seals that represent the four stages of Campbell’s academic growth from an academy to a university, as well as the Baptist State Convention Stacy Miller II of North Carolina and Tunku Abdul Rahman University College of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Beth Leone Noble Th e Medallion represents the University Mace design and incorporates the The Honorable University Seal, which is supported by two fl anges and the Celtic Cross. Paul C. Ridgeway Th e trustees commissioned the Presidential Medallion and Chain. John Robert A. Sar Satterfi eld of Greenville, North Carolina, designed them. Gary K. Shipman The Campbell University Mace Ashley H. Story Th e Campbell University Mace is steeped in tradition and purpose. Its design Robin Tatum refl ects the university’s Christian purpose. Tatiana Terry Th e Mace’s boss is a sphere topped by the Celtic Cross and supported by six fl anges. Th e Celtic Cross represents the early and continuing faith Hoyt G. Tessener of the Christians who settled in the Cape Fear Region and who helped establish Campbell. F. Marshall Wall Th e sphere represents the world that Campbell is committed to serve, through Dennis A. Wicker its students, alumni, faculty, and staff . Th e fl anges represent the support of Dr. Hope A. Williams friends, churches, foundations, and institutions. Th e seals within the fl anges represent Campbell’s 133-year history and the authority under which the McKinley Wooten university bestows degrees. Originally an instrument for battle, the mace as an academic custom goes back to the 16th century. Th e fi rst record of a mace awarded to a university occurred in 1589 when Queen Elizabeth I visited Oxford University. At a convocation held in her honor, Oxford students, speaking in Latin, lavished her with praise and fl attery, pretending to love her. Th ey assumed she was unfamiliar with Latin. As a gesture of thanks, Queen Elizabeth I gave an eloquent speech in fl awless Latin and presented Oxford with her royal mace. In the second record of a mace awarded to a university, King Charles I presented his royal mace to the University of Cambridge in 1629. Th ereafter it became customary for the mace to be used at academic ceremonies throughout Europe. Th e mace came into use in the United States during the 19th century.
