Faith has been part of the Campbell story since 1887. 🙏

to our earliest days of religious study. The foundation that grew into today’s thriving university, equipping leaders to serve, lead, and make an impact in their communities.

Nearly 140 years later, the mission continues. Some things never change. 🐪

A new season begins. Growth is not a single moment — it's the quiet, faithful work of showing up. Wherever you are today, you are exactly where you're meant to begin.

"If you're willing, it's easy."

That's what first-year engineering student Cael Dunn said about finding community at Campbell.

During New Student Convocation, more than 850 new students (our largest class in seven years!) received their medallions and began their Campbell journey.

From soccer to engineering to nursing, this incredible class is here to build friendships, discover themselves, and change the world.

Are you ready for this, Campbell? 🎓

Campbell’s largest incoming freshman and transfer class in seven years received their traditional medallions at the 23rd annual New Student Convocation Ceremony held Monday in Gore Arena.
