Campus Ministry & BSCNC Spring Fling

"Can you paint a hamburger on my face?"

"Do you want to wear a clown nose?"

"Would you like a picture with Gaylord?"

Things said only at Spring Fling, the annual day camp event for special needs adults. Spring Fling is a 20+ year old tradition and partnership between Campus Ministry and the Baptist State Convention. Because words can't fully describe the joy of the day, here is a series of pictures that will. 

Spring Fling by the numbers:
180 happy campers
100 enthusiastic volunteers
1 freezer full of Sunny Ski's ice cream
1 awesome women's basketball team
1 awesome cheerleading team

∞ fun

∞ hugs

White House Honors

Campbell is proud to announce its fifth consecutive acceptance to the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll!

According to the Corporation for national and Community Service website linked above, "The President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, launched in 2006, annually highlights the role colleges and universities play in solving community problems and placing more students on a lifelong path of civic engagement by recognizing institutions that achieve meaningful, measurable outcomes in the communities they serve."

The Honor Roll website also reported these stats compiled from applicant institutions across the country.

The application covers areas of service such as project sustainability, community impact, and student engagement. Among others Campbell highlighted its partnership with Baptist Fellowship of Angier, the 2011 MLK Day of Service, and the Pharmacy School's service learning initiative.

Congratulations to the students, faculty, and staff in Buies Creek for this great honor. Your work made the award possible!
