October 5 marked a special day for three undergraduate students who received the annual Gore Center for Servant Leadership Awards, given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Ed (Class of 1952) and Dinah Gore and in recognition of service to the community and leadership among one's peers.
Kristen Fischer, Heather Higgins, and Courtney Williamson were in the spotlight as the University honored their achievements as servant leaders, living up to Mr. Gore's definition of one who uses power to place others first.

As part of the day's events, including University Convocation and the associated Heilman Lecture, Campus Ministry hosted Dr. Lisa Keyne, Executive Director of North Carolina Campus Compact. Campbell is a member of NC Campus Compact and hosts an AmeriCorps VISTA through the organization. Dr. Keyne demonstrated to students that, according to the title of her lecture, they are "more precious than pandas," motivating students to embrace the world around them.
The Gore Center for Servant Leadership complements Campbell's mission to prepare students for "purposeful lives and meaningful service." The Center exists to encourage servant leadership among the Campbell community. Each year a different school presents awards to select students.
