2015 CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL #GOCAMELS CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY On Jan. 5, 1887, James Archibald Campbell, a 26-year-old Baptist minister, welcomed 16 students to a small church in Buies Creek, North Carolina, for the first day of classes for the school he founded: Buies Creek Academy. By the end of the first term, there were 92 students. Since then, Buies Creek Academy has evolved to become Campbell Junior College (1926), Campbell College (1961), and Campbell University (1979). Throughout these transformations, the university has remained true to its founding principles to address the most pressing needs of North Carolina and to educate men and women for Christian service around the world. A testimony to how these founding principles still guide Campbell University today is the establishment of three new schools in the last two years. Campbell launched the School of Osteopathic Medicine — North Carolina’s first new medical school in over 35 years — in 2013. In 2016, it will open the doors to its eighth and ninth schools, nursing and engineering. They join Campbell’s other established schools — College of Arts & Sciences, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law (1976), the Lundy-Fetterman School of Business (1983), the School of Education (1985), the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences (1985) and the Divinity School (1996). In addition to its main campus in Buies Creek, Campbell University has extended campuses in the Research Triangle Park, Camp Lejeune, Fort Bragg/ Pope Air Force Base, and Raleigh, where the law school relocated to in 2009. Today, Campbell University enrolls nearly 6,500 students, including more than 4,500 undergraduate and graduate students on its main campus.
