A new landmark will be embedded in Campbell’s red brick walkways this week with the addition of a time capsule set to be opened in 50 years. Filled with memorabilia representing student life in Buies Creek, the capsule is a collaboration between the Student Life, Alumni and Library departments and is part of the annual Founders Week celebration of Campbell history.
The time capsule ceremony will be live streamed at 2 p.m. on February 2, with remarks from President Creed and members of the Student Government Association, who helped collect and catalog items for preservation. The student volunteers worked hard to stay organized, and as project overseer and Dean of the Library Alexia Riggs can attest, preservation is more complicated than burying a few items in a box.

While COVID-19 influenced just about every aspect of our year, 2020 still brought out the best in our community
We often use this day to celebrate the year that was at Campbell University, but on this last day of 2020, “celebrate” is hardly the word we’re looking for.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the infection of more than 83 million people globally and has been responsible for nearly 2 million deaths. It has shut down entire countries and wrecked once vital economies. It has changed our way of life on multiple levels, and in higher education, it has changed the way we teach and learn.
RALEIGH â May I tell you a bit about the pioneering Campbells of eastern North Carolina?
The patriarch of the family, minister James Archibald Campbell, founded a school in Buies Creek in 1887 that we now know as Campbell University. In the early days, privation and bad luck sometimes forced âJim Archâ to keep institution alive through sheer force of will.
When he died in 1934, his son Leslie Hartwell Campbell was the unanimous choice of its board to take over as leader. At 42, L.H. Campbell was at the time North Carolinaâs youngest college president. He continued the familyâs pioneering ways, expanding the campus in size and scope. It became a four-year institution, and the home of the first Paul Green Theater, named after the distinguished playwright and alumnus.

Ryan grad Mokseckas starring early at Campbell
Gediminas Mokseckas is just doing what he has always done.
He’s doing his best.
Mokseckas, a 2020 graduate of Archbishop Ryan High School, who came to the Raiders from Lithuania prior to his junior year, is now playing at Campbell University, a Division I program in Buies Creek, North Carolina. And it didn’t take him long to make an impact.
The former do-everything swingman for the Raiders is now one of the first guys off the bench for the Fighting Camels, and in his first game, he scored a team-high 14 points to lead Campbell to a win over St. Andrews Presbyterian.
