CAMPBELL MEN’S BASKETBALL 2017-18 MEDIA GUIDE CHRIS CLEMONS 2017-18 BIG SOUTH PRESEASON PLAYER OF THE YEAR CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY On Jan. 5, 1887, James Archibald Campbell, a 26-year-old Baptist minister, welcomed 16 students to a small church day of classes for the school he founded: Buies Creek Academy. By the end of the 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 testament to how these founding principles still guide Campbell University today is the establishment of three new schools in the last few years. Campbell launched the School of Osteopathic medical school in over 35 years — in 2013. In 2016, it opened the doors to programs in 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 at Camp Lejeune Fort Bragg/Pope Air Force Base, Online and Raleigh, where the law school relocated in 2009. Today, Campbell University enrolls nearly 6,500 students, including more than 4,500 undergraduate and graduate students on its main campus. They’re studying across nearly 150 disciplines in the liberal arts, health sciences and professions — and continuing the university’s tradition of excellence in faith, learning, and service.
