Bill and Karen Campbell Faculty Mentoring Program
An Introduction to the Campbell Mentoring Program
The Bill and Karen Campbell Faculty Mentoring Program is a powerful asset for new faculty at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. Through the program, experienced, insightful, and trusted senior faculty serve as guides, allies, and advocates of junior faculty. The program, which is completely voluntary, aims to help new faculty adjust to life at Carolina and to succeed professionally and personally. The effort is supported by funds generated by the $1 million endowment of the Bill and Karen Campbell Distinguished Professorship.
"Bill and Karen Campbell came to UNC in 1992 when Bill took up his position as dean of the School. They had come from Auburn University, were Bill was dean of the School of Pharmacy, and before Auburn, he served on the faculty of the School of Pharmacy at the University of Washington-Seattle. Bill’s vision was that the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy would become the nation’s leading school of pharmacy in education and research.
In his eleven years as dean, Bill transformed the school and created a framework for its sustained growth. His approach was unique. While Bill developed his strategy along major programmatic themes, he enabled these programs by focusing on the individuals who would lead and participate in them: the faculty, the staff, and the students. Thus, Bill was the mentor of us all."
