A helping hand for Campbell students

Tobacco House: Controversial business opens up in Buies Creek

By Kaitlyn Dixon Staff Writer

Campbell University provides un-dergraduate students who are currently enrolled with full time hours the ability to see a licensed counselor for personal, developmental and/or psychological con-cerns related to their academic progress and/or their personal growth.

Counseling services are free of charge and are 100% confidential. Counseling is short-term, but it is very solution-focused with limited sessions. For chronic mental health issues that are more serious and require more extensive counseling, the counselors here at Campbell can pro-vide a consultation and referral to other community resources.

Most people wouldn’t know where to go when asked where the counseling services building is. It is a small house called the Avrette house on Pope Street, which is located behind the Wallace Student Center. Counseling Services is open Monday–Thursday 9 a.m.–4:30 p.m. and Fridays 9 a.m.–12 p.m. They are not open on weekends and are closed for lunch typically from 12–1:15 p.m. If struggling with a crisis, there are after hours that are offered. Call the counseling services number (910-814-5709), or head into the office making it clear that you are

in a crisis, and they will do anything they can to respond as soon as possible.

Why would you need to schedule an appointment with Campbell’s counseling services? Generally speaking, people will seek counseling because they are strug-gling with issues that affect the way they feel or constrain their ability to go about their daily lives or meet their goals. Most of these issues can interfere with a rela-tionship; affect one’s ability to concentrate at work or in school; impact one’s energy level, appetite, and sleep and/or create feelings of depression, anxiety, and stress. People specifically come to counseling services for a variety of reasons which include: depression, anxiety/panic attacks, stress, test anxiety, relationships, time management, conflict resolution, feelings of insecurity and/or self-doubt, homesick-ness, adjusting to college life, dealing with anger, abuse issues and grief.

Confidentiality is very important in re-gards to making an appointment with the counseling services. The goal is to main-tain a safe environment in which students feel they can discuss their personal issues freely. With this being said, the fact that you have received counseling and any-thing discussed during the session will not be disclosed to anyone without your writ-ten permission. A counseling record will

be kept for the counselor’s use only, and it is filed away. Sometimes only one session is all it takes, or a referral to someone else will be given; in that case your time with the counselor is done. If you and the counselor want to continue to work to-gether, a plan will be developed in which you will schedule another appointment at the end of the session. It is important to remember that no one should be afraid to go and talk to someone if in need.

Although Campbell’s counseling ser-vices only directs their attention towards

full time, undergraduate students, there is an alternate option for graduate and professional students seeking help. Dr. Dan Marlowe, director of Behavioral Health for the School of Osteopathic Medicine should be contacted via email ([email protected]) in regards to scheduling an appointment for the help you may need as a graduate or professional student.

Garnering much attention with the new semester is Tobacco House, located adjacent to Campbell University’s main undergraduate campus. Tobacco House is a new establishment centrally located in Campus Square.

Although the tobacco shop is new to Campbell, it isn’t something new to John Malik, owner and operator, who has years of experience. “I have much experience. I have 40 years in business and I have shops at NC State, Cary, and Durham,” said Malik. He also owns a restaurant in Cary called Kabob & Grill. “It is fine

dining, but no drinks. I am really against drinking.” He started out by working in his father’s tobacco shop before his father bought him one of his own.

Malik is a New York native who fol-lowed his daughter to North Carolina, where she attended East Carolina University. “Me and my wife decided to move because of her and you know what? She finished and went back. She found a job and moved to Connecticut,” said Malik. Because he liked the area so much, Malik decided to stay in Apex, North Carolina with his wife and three other kids. “I am a family person: four kids, two in college, one in high school and one in middle school,” added Malik. Before

moving to North Carolina, Malik was a bail bondsman.

When asked what brought him to the area, Malik responded, “I have a very good friend whose daughter goes to pharmacy school here and she informed me of the open store.” Malik said that he is very hap-py to be at Campbell. “I like it so much over here. I keep telling my son to come over here for school,” added Malik.

The shop, which has been open for a few weeks, is still in the works. “I’m thinking the next step is to bring Hershey’s ice cream. That’s the next step. Hershey’s ice cream is coming soon,” said Malik. Although many perceive a negative connotation when thinking of a tobacco

store, Tobacco House sells more than just tobacco products. There are snacks and drinks. Malik even said that he envisions incorporating a fruit-like room which will include fruits and vegetables. “If you want a single apple, you can come over and get it. There’s really no place like it here,” added Malik.

When asked how he thought it coin-cided with Campbell, given the type of institution Campbell is, Malik said that all he does is sell for tobacco use. “I post no-tices to make sure everything is for tobacco use and I don’t allow smoking in the store. No smoking, no alcohol. Two things I will

COVER STORY

CELEBRATING THE PASTCampbell marks 2nd-annual Founder’s Week with food, games and exhibitsBy Dylan BlackburnStaff Writer

A week of celebration and activ-ities to commemorate Campbell University’s founding begins on Feb. 1. The event is the work of sev-eral campus groups, including CAB, the Office of First Year Experience, Admissions, and Advancement. It provides a way “for students to learn and understand who built this col-lege from the ground up,” said Lizzie Tart, a Senior Trust and Wealth Management major and student rep-resentative on the Founder’s Week planning committee.

The week is centered around the life and heritage of Mr. J.A. Campbell, who founded Buies Creek Academy in 1887. The small private school would evolve over time into Campbell University.

“I am inspired by J.A. Campbell’s vision to provide opportunities for education, service and a better life to all who enrolled in the school at Buies Creek,” said University President J. Bradley Creed. “He pursued that vision through enor-mous difficulty and challenge, which makes our Campbell motto ad astra per aspera (To the stars through dif-ficulty) all the more meaningful.”

Compared to last year, Tart said this year’s events will include “more

of a focus on J.A. Campbell’s Scottish heritage.” A Highland Games event will be held on Friday, Feb. 5 from 2–5 p.m. in Saylor Park. In addition to traditional Scottish games like caber toss, tug of war, and archery, Scottish cuisine like turkey legs and brunswick stew will be served. Students may register to participate in the Highland Games by visiting imleagues.com. Scottish-themed t-shirts will be given to students at the event, and Gaylord the Camel will be available for pic-tures in Scottish attire.

Wednesday, Feb. 3 marks Campbell Day, a campaign to raise money for student scholarships and awareness on social media by us-ing the hashtag #campbellday. The Heritage Basketball game will be played against Longwood at 7PM

that evening, and Scottish Gaylord the Camel bobbleheads will be given to students that attend the game. Also on Feb. 3, Marshbanks Dining Hall will integrate tradi-tional Southern cuisine into their lunch and dinner menus to acknowl-edge the Southern background of the university.

“We owe a debt of gratitude to our founders, whose contributions are not merely past accomplishments,” said President Creed. “They are living realities that continue to mold and shape us, and from which we all benefit in the present. We honor, celebrate and learn from our history, which is an important part of the Campbell experience.”

Resolutions: Can you keep them?By Rachel Rock & Christian HornadayEditor-in-Chief and Assistant Editor

The New Year always seems to present a chance for a new start and personal growth. People spend the last few days of December mapping out their flaws and the things about themselves they wish to change and then researching different methods of achieving these goals.

Some people may have even created full folders or Pinterest boards, complete with ways to become more productive, lose weight faster or learn to wake up earlier. Knowing all of the preparation that comes with a New Year’s Resolution, it is sad to think that just a month into 2016, many people are already abandoning their goals and returning to life as it was in 2015.

Resolutions are formed with (typical-ly) the best of intentions, such as trying

to adopt a healthier lifestyle or trying to communicate better and enjoy the world more. And it is often hard to change in the middle of the year. It is almost as if people have to be given this “fresh start” of a new year in order to try and be better or make a change. While many of us fall into the trap of thinking that New Year’s Day is a new beginning, it is really just like any other day of the year. The idea that we can make a change and all of the sudden become better versions of ourselves is completely self-fabricated. Why are we not able to make changes every day and continually strive towards being better and healthier people?

While New Year’s can be a great op-portunity for people to set goals, many of them become unrealistic and we lose sight of the reason for setting them. Instead of trying to reach unattainable goals in the beginning of a new year and then quickly

giving up, try finding a way to update your life and your habits in a more con-stant, gradual way. Instead of constantly being negative about your goals, shaming your body and your way of living, cre-ate positive goals that encourage you to become a better version of yourself each minute of each day.

New Year’s should not be a time to completely reevaluate your life and try to change everything that you don’t like. Instead, you should constantly improve yourself and work towards being the per-son you want to be. Yes, New Year’s some-times helps motivate people to make the changes in their lives that they really need to make, and this can be a great thing, but if you see a change that you want to make in your life, there is no reason to wait until a new year. Every day can be a “fresh start” if you want to make it one.

Justin Bieber: Everyone just stop the hateBy Dylan LordStaff Writer

Universally loved and hated by mil-lions, Justin Bieber has every love-struck teenage girl begging to marry him and every guy with an ounce of testosterone in his body wanting to kill him. Despite being a guy, I never really bought into the whole “sheep-hate” phenomenon surrounding Justin, and after years of listening to all this crap surrounding him, someone needs to come forward and wade through this swamp of poorly hidden jealousy and unneeded hatred. It might as well be me.

Let me be clear. I am not condoning anything Justin has done (i.e. prostitu-tion, alleged drug use, street racing or being a jerk to his fans and people in general). Justin is by far an arrogant and self-obsessed [insert insult here]. Yes, there are plenty of stupid things Justin has done over the years to earn disap-pointment and disapproval, but not ha-tred. In my opinion, hatred is something that should only be warranted in the cases of a particularly disgusting human

being or someone who has caused signif-icant harm to a loved one. Justin Bieber has done neither of those things. While he may deserve some scorn, he doesn’t deserve hatred, especially to the degree that is directed at him. A list made by the website thetoptens.com of the ten most hated people in the world put Justin Bieber at the top of the list, above people like Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden.

So why? Why is there so much hatred towards Justin? It is because people are jealous. Consider this, during Justin’s ear-ly years when he was still a teenager – be-fore any of the controversies surrounding him took place – there was no reason to hate him. He was just another manufac-tured pop icon whose job was (and still is) to sing music designed for young girls to make them feel special and wanted. The hatred directed at Justin is simply a cover for people’s jealousy of his success. He is currently worth roughly $200 million with an annual estimated salary of $60 to 80 million—more money than most of us could earn in a hundred life-times. Now, Justin has racked up numer-ous reasons for people to scorn him, but

considering what other celebrities have done, Justin is pretty par for the course. Kanye West declared himself to be God’s gift to the world, Mel Gibson went on a drunken slander against the entire Jewish faith, Miley Cyrus…need I say more?

Let me say it again; this is not about defending Justin. This is to address the unwarranted and misguided hatred towards him. Justin has made a lot of mistakes over the past several years and he deserves to be criticized for them, but that is it. Anything else needs to be left at the door. It really plays a larger part in pointing towards the completely stupid obsession America has towards celebri-ties. Justin isn’t a role model, he’s a per-son, and just like any other person, you should treat him with complete indiffer-ence unless he plays a significant role in your life. Ultimately, any criticism I have towards him is tempered by the fact that if I was exposed to the same extravagant lifestyle at his age, I would probably turn out just like him. Keep living the dream Biebs, because God knows most of us never will.

A look at the “Dragon Age” gamesBy Omar HouraniCopy Editor

If you’re a fan of the “Elder Scrolls” or “Witcher” series, you’ll most likely fall in love with Bioware’s “Dragon Age” franchise. So far, the games that came out in this series are “Dragon Age: Origins,” “Dragon Age 2,” and “Dragon Age: Inquisition.” These are fantasy role-playing games that are magical parallels to medieval Europe.

As a brief background, the conti-nent of Thedas was once ruled by the Tevinter Imperium, which now leaves in its wake Ferelden, Orlais and a smaller Tevinter. Every couple of years, they’re hit by a “Blight,” where creatures called Darkspawn emerge from underground to wreak havoc. Mages are blamed for this, so Ferelden and Orlesian mages are often locked up in towers overseen by Templars, a military branch of the Chantry (the main church).

“Dragon Age: Origins” (2009) sets the player in the beginning of the Ferelden’s Fifth Blight, tasked to defeat the Darkspawn as part of an order called the Grey Wardens. The interesting feature about this game is that the first couple of hours are played starting from any “origin” you choose, until the story eventually converges into joining the order. For example, you can start as an under-ground dwarf, a human noble, an elf in the forest or city, or a mage in

a tower. Each “origin” has its own in-depth developments that contin-ue to impact the game. Ferelden’s map is massive, with many locations to explore, including the capital, forests and countryside. This game has generally gotten great reviews, especially concerning its in-depth content, but complaints were made about its graphics.

“Dragon Age 2” (2010) is set in Kirkwall, a city north of Ferelden. You play as a Ferelden refugee of the Fifth Blight, making your way to become the Champion of Kirkwall. You become embroiled into several political issues, most importantly the tensions between the Templars and mages. In terms of reviews, this one showed clear improvements in graphics, but seemed to have gener-ally gotten the least out of the three reviews—mostly because it was all set in one (rather dull) city instead of the vast land of Ferelden before that.

“Dragon Age: Inquisition” (2014) is set in both Orlais and Ferelden, placing the player as the leader of an organization called the Inquisi-tion. You’re faced with a series of catastrophic events, especially since tensions between the mages and Templars have escalated since the previous game. The Chantry is in disarray, and your actions and deci-sions could help fill the power vacu-um and restore order, in a variety of possible ways. Reviews for this game

were generally good, as it seemed to incorporate the graphics of “Dragon Age 2” with the in-depth storyline and vast terrain of “Origins.”

There are a few elements to the Dragon Age franchise that make it stand-out from the rest. Most notably, there is an overwhelming variety of options, whether in casual dialogue or vital decisions, each of which have far-reaching effects. Con-sequences to your decisions can be as insignificant as tavern ownership, to more significant issues like install-ing rulers, allies joining or leaving your cause, and, of course, life and death situations. Interestingly, your decisions not only affect your game, but even cross over to impact the next game, like whether someone is dead or alive.

Another element unique to the franchise is your interactions with your allies, their approval ratings influenced by your decisions, and the potential to even romance them. The combat is also stimulating since you can play with up to four characters, which you can choose from a variety of allies you recruit along the way.

Overall, all of these games are defi-nitely worth checking out, preferably in the order listed here.

not do. I sell everything to smoke but no smoking because not everyone smokes and we sell other things,” said Malik.

Malik said that business was good and that he is happy that he chose a location close to Campbell. “I’m very pleased to be here and so far students are very good with me,” added Malik.

There seems to be mixed feelings when asking people how they feel about the new addition to the Campbell community. “This new smoke shop will increase the amount of secondhand smoke circulat-ing near the campus, thus reversing the progress Campbell has established in making the campus a safe and healthy environment,” quipped Kirstian Jarman, a senior criminal justice major. “I feel that the new smoke shop adjacent to Campbell is a great opportunity to set precedent for small businesses on college campuses. I believe that the smoke shop is a positive addition to the Campbell community because not only does it provide students who smoke easier access to a variety of choices of tobacco (which helps the tobacco industry in North Carolina), but it will also bring more jobs to students on campus,” said sophomore criminal justice and homeland security major Chandler Stroud.

When you think about it, the Tobacco House does what Short Stop and oth-er convenience stores do every day: sell tobacco. “Personally, the location of the tobacco shop does not bother me. The Short Stop (which is even closer to campus) has always sold tobacco products. I do not believe that the new tobacco shop will lure students into using tobacco products. If students want tobacco or to-bacco products, they will find a way to get them,” said recent graduate of religion and criminal justice Mitchell Farrell. History professor Lloyd Johnson, said that he has mixed views about it and is against the use of tobacco, “but this is a democracy and this business has an impact on the local economy.”

With this new addition, only time will tell whether or not the shop will thrive, much like the numerous other shops that have been on that competitive strip. Tobacco House is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Go Greek in the CreekBy Christian HornadayAssistant Editor

As we transition into the second month of the semester, Greek Life at Campbell is already in the middle of accepting new recruits. Campbell’s two sororities, Sigma Alpha Omega and Delta Phi Epsilon have already completed their recruitment week and Campbell fraternities Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigma and Phi Delta Theta are beginning this week.

“I’m very confident that our [recruit-ment] week will be a complete success,” said Andre Sexton, a sophomore psycholo-gy major and the ritualist and chaplain for Kappa Alpha chapter at Campbell. “We are looking forward to meeting the new recruits and showing them what it means to be a true gentleman and a brother of the Order.”

Each recruitment week was started off with a mandatory Greek Life information

session the week prior to each period of recruitment. Students who attended those sessions had the chance to talk to each organization as well as the chance to learn about Greek Life as a whole.

“Last week’s information meetings were extremely fun, as well as recruitment this week,” said Jessica Newman, sophomore majoring in clinical research and currently serving as the risk management coordi-nator for the Delta Phi Epsilon chapter at Campbell. “I got to meet so many wonderful girls through this process that I probably never would have without being in DPhiE. Playing games, getting to know new girls that are interested in going Greek and informing more people about what all we do as a sorority was very rewarding, and enjoyable.”

Students interested in Phi Delta Theta, Kappa Alpha or Kappa Sigma can look forward to events this week that will promote getting to know the brothers and

figuring out whether or not Greek Life is the right place for them.

Valentine’s Day guide for singles and couples

Not-so-cliché movies to watch this Valentine’s Day

By Katlyn ClarkEntertainment Editor

Candy. Stuffed animals. Cards. Hearts. Flowers. Cupid. All of these things together represent the day known as Valentine’s Day.

Whether you are single or in a relation-ship, this day is all about what you make it out to be.

Here are a few ideas to make this Valen-tine’s Day special.

For the singles:1. Do you have any other friends that

are single? If so, get them all together and throw an Anti-Valentine’s Day party. Plan accordingly with your invites, decor, food and drinks to make it the best Anti-Val-entine’s Day party ever.

2. If you are sucker for romantic mov-ies, stock up on chocolate or your favorite guilty pleasure snack and have a night in with a warm blanket and a sappy movie.

3. You shouldn’t just do this on Val-entine’s Day, but call friends and family to let them know how much you love them. Call them with sincere thoughts on why you love them and talk about some of the memories you have shared. Make Valentine’s Day cards for them and send them through the mail. Bring out the col-ored paper, markers and scissors for this project. You never know how much of an impact you can make on your loved ones.

4. Make some Valentine’s Day cards for senior citizens living in nursing homes in your area. Before doing this, call local nursing homes and assisted living facili-ties to see if you can visit and personally give out each card.

5. Live on campus? Maybe distribute Valentine’s Day candy, goodies and/or cards to your fellow residents. The unex-pected thoughtfulness will make anyone’s Valentine’s Day!

For the couples:1. Do not get into the mess of going

out to Cheesecake Factory (or any other

restaurant) and hitting up the movies af-ter. Make this Valentine’s Day memorable and plan a non-dinner and movie date. Set a low budget of under $20 and spend it wisely. It will make you both really think on how you want to spend it.

2. Share your inner child with your boyfriend or girlfriend and go to Frankie’s Fun Park! Everyone has a competitive side, so play each other in arcade games and laser tag. Make sure you redeem your tickets and bring home a prize to remem-ber this Valentine’s Day date.

3. Be creative by making cards for each other! Make it personal by using the nick-name you call him or her. Go above and beyond and make a video stating your love for your girlfriend or boyfriend.

4. Look at the “For Singles” list and do some of those activities; such as send-ing cards to senior citizens or calling loved ones.

For the long distance couples:1. You will probably Skype or Facetime

your significant other on this special day, so make it unique and out of the ordi-nary! Send each other packages and open them up during your video chat. Send them goodies (for your date) and gifts to treat them. Regardless of the gift, just know that it is the thought that counts.

By Taylor MckaigStaff Writer

Regardless of whether you’re coupled up or riding solo this Valentine’s Day, February 14 is quickly approaching. Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportu-nity to binge watch romantic comedies with your sweetheart, best friend or even by yourself. Instead of paying ten dollars to sit through another Nicho-las Sparks adaptation, consider any of these movies that would go perfectly with a box of discounted chocolates.

Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)

Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) has a seem-ingly perfect life until his unfaithful wife Emily (Julianne Moore) asks for a divorce. Newly single and painfully clueless, Cal is thrown into the world of dating. His life starts to change when he meets Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). This is not your typical romcom; it comes with plenty of plot twists that keep you gushing.

Beyond the Lights (2014)Singer Noni, played by Gugu

Mbatha-Raw, struggles to keep her sanity in an industry that hyper-sexual-izes her for superstardom. An attempt

on her own life brings young cop Kaz (Nate Parker) to her rescue. The un-likely pair continues to grow as Noni fights to show everyone that she is a real artist. This is not your typical chick flick; its central message encourages the viewer to do one simple thing: love yourself first.

massacre, Todd Farmer (Jensen Ackles) returns home to rekindle a flame he lost years ago. In the town of Harmony,

Get Fit in 2016!By Katlyn ClarkEntertainment Editor

It’s February and you still haven’t started your New Year’s Resolutions. You still have a chance to start them and to get serious about them. One of your New Year’s Resolutions is proba-bly to head to the gym and eat health-ier. Here are some helpful tips and resources to conquer these resolutions:

For Exercise:1. In order to hit up the gym or

a fitness class, make sure you set a schedule of when to go. If you are determined, you will have to make it a priority.

2. Before going to the gym, make a plan of what machines you will use and how many reps/sets you will do for each machine.

3. Create a gym playlist to motivate you during your workouts. Choose songs that push you to aim towards your goals.

4. Fitness classes on campus make working out seem like you are not alone. Classes offered are Arms & Abs, Insanity Live, Power Pilates, X-Fit, Yoga, and Zumba.

For Healthier Eating:1. You may have to cut out the

late night Cookout runs or morning Starbucks stops, because you need to make smarter decisions about what you intake each day.

2. There are always healthier al-ternatives to what you eat, so don’t get discouraged!

3. Never stress over doing a food log of your meals, just watch your por-tions at each meal and snack.

4. You do not have to become a vegetarian in order to eat healthier. Do some research on meats to figure out what is still good for you.

Overall, in this process, the best thing is to make sure that you feel like you are making progress. While you reach your goals, aim higher, because you never know what you are capable of doing. See Valentine’s movies, page 9

students had the opportunity to get to know both SAO and DPhiE at the be-ginning of the week, followed by different events each night that allowed the sister and the possible new members to get to know each other. DPhiE hosted an event Tuesday night to highlight one of their philanthropies, Cystic Fibrosis. Girls who attended even participated in an activity designed to better understand what a per-son with Cystic Fibrosis has to deal with. SAO ended their open events with a wor-ship night lead by their Christian Relations Committee Chair.

Tom doesn’t find the welcoming he was hoping for. Instead, the police are watching him closely as they suspect he is involved in a string of new murders. No, this is not your run-of-the-mill romance, but it is a Valentine’s Day themed slasher film for those who may not particularly enjoy this holiday.

Slumdog Millionaire (2008) Teenager Jamal Malik (Dev Patel),

from the slums of Mumbai, is one question shy of winning the sum of 20 million rupees on India’s version

of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” Jamal is abruptly arrested under the suspicion of cheating. In an attempt to prove his innocence, he tells police of his life in the slums. Jamal discloses struggles with poverty, violent con-frontations with vicious gangs and the coming and going of Latika, the love of his life. This a movie that raises social awareness and can appeal to many different audiences.

Dirty Dancing (1987)As if you need an excuse to watch a

classic on Valentine’s Day, this movie casts Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey as the lead roles. Frances (Grey), com-monly referred to as “Baby,” is a privi-leged daughter of Doctor Houseman. The Houseman family is vacationing at a resort in the Catskill Mountains. Baby becomes intrigued by Johnny (Swayze), the dance instructor with a bad attitude. She offers to step in as Johnny’s dance partner, but knows nothing about dance. It is clear that Baby is as naïve as Johnny is experi-enced. Johnny teaches Baby how to

dance and the two fall in love.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)Yes, another one of those movies you

hate to admit that you love. New York City journalist Andie (Kate Hudson) writes how-to columns for a popular magazine. Her new assignment requires her to lose a guy in 10 days. The unfor-tunate soul that she picks is none other than Benjamin Barry (Matthew Mc-Conaughey). Little does Andie know, Ben has made a bet that he can make a woman fall in love with him in 10 days.

Athletic coordinator premieres event series on “How to Identify and Get Your Dream Job”By Matthew SokolSports Editor

Many college students are always contemplating how they can get their dream job, but simply don’t know exactly how to go about accomplish-ing this mission. Campbell athlet-ics Broadcasting and Digital Media Coordinator Bill Priestley came up with the idea to give back to col-lege students by giving them ideas and strategies on how to get their dream job.

On Jan. 26, Priestley started teach-ing a free connections series called “How to Identify and Get Your Dream Job.” Sophomore Mackenzie Koeller attended the opening event and learned about how to start on the path to getting her dream job.

“I decided on a business administra-tion major, but I am not sure where I want to take my life with the major

or what career I want to have,” said Koeller. “I am hoping this connec-tions event will help me decide on what I want to do. I really liked how Bill used the questions in the event to have us answer all things we liked and didn’t like.”

Every Monday in February, the connections event will take place in Lundy-Fetterman room 107 at 7 p.m. Each connections event has a differ-ent theme that builds on how to get your dream job. On Feb. 1, the topic covered will be on how to identify abilities and why this is one of the most important part of creating a resume. The next three connections events are about audiences (Feb. 8), networking (Feb. 15), and creating a success map (Feb. 22). All three events will help educate students on how to get their dream job.

The event on audiences is the next part of the connection series, follow-

ing the Feb.1 session. Audiences, to Priestley, are the people that you work with and the people you work for. These are the people that are most appreciative of your work. It doesn’t just mean a supervisor at work; it can also mean the customer of a business.

The next event that is part of the series continues on to Feb. 15 and is about networking, which plays a major role in the quest of getting the dream job.

“Networking is a skill that is not taught on most college campuses and that’s the skill young people are going to have to learn in order to get on the right track towards a career they desire – or get really anything they want,” said Priestley. “If there is one session I would highly recommend people coming to, it’s that one. It’s unbelievable how much more you

See Dream job, page 11


can accomplish with networking than without it.”

The final session is about creating a “success map.” This can tell students what steps they need to take in order to get from where they are to their ul-timate dream job. After learning these techniques, students should have the strategies in place to get on their way towards earning their dream career.

“I want Campbell students to gain a sense that college is not simply four years of your life where you are expected to check off certain things,”

said Priestley. “I want them to see that college is a tremendous stepping stone to doing whatever they want to do in life. What I am trying to bring to Campbell students is that the four years, or however long you are here, can be a tremendous catapult to get from where you are to where you want to be.”

A major issue when it comes to college students is that they are struggling to become employed. They graduate, but find themselves without a job. The Economic Policy Insti-

tute stated based on 2015 data, “For young college graduates, the unem-ployment rate is currently 7.2 percent (compared with 5.5 percent in 2007), and the underemployment rate is 14.9 percent (compared with 9.6 percent in 2007).” College students are coming out of their education with debt, but have trouble getting that dream job. According to the Wall Street Journal, the average amount that the class of 2015 graduates will have to pay in student debt is a little over $35,000.

“It’s always been harder for young graduates to get jobs,” said Priestley. “What’s more important though is that college students need to be more concerned with what they are doing after college before graduation day, so they don’t become one of these statis-tics. Going after a dream job is one way students can plan for the future and give themselves the best chance to land a dream career, than if they simply waited after graduation day to address what’s next in their lives.”
