Only a handful of students can claim a perfect 4.0 on all academic work in both undergraduate and graduate courses, but Adam McLamb, son of Michael and Gaile McLamb, of Dunn, N.C., is one of those students. McLamb, who graduated from Campbell University in May 2006, had a double major in Business Administration, as well as Trust and Investment Management Pre-Law and Accounting with a minor in Financial Planning. “A perfect average is an incredible accomplishment in itself,” said Jimmy Witherspoon, associate professor of business and chairman of the Department of Financial Planning and Accounting, “not to mention the fact that Adam had two difficult majors. Adam is an outstanding young man and a credit to Campbell University.” McLamb made the president’s and dean’s list and was named to “Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges.” He is a member of the honor societies Phi Eta Sigma Honor, Epsilon Pi Eta and Phi Kappa Phi. McLamb received the Presidential Scholarship, the Dr. Ernest Paskel Sauls Business Scholarship and the Thomas H. and Judith O. Folwell Trust Management Scholarship. He has served as an intern for Oscar N. Harris & Associates accounting firm in Dunn, N.C., where he worked as a bookkeeper for individuals, partnerships and corporations. McLamb also performed payroll duties, prepared tax returns, worked with computer software packages and performed other responsibilities. In addition, he served as a sales associate for Belks of Dunn, N.C. During his educational career at Campbell, he was a member of the Gilbert T. Stephenson Trust Club, served as class representative to the Student Government Association, as president of the Financial Planning and Accounting Club and as a representative to the Inter-Organizational Club. McLamb also held memberships in the Adam Smith Club, Alpha Kappa Psi and was Delta Pledge Class president. He is currently a first-year law student at the Wake Forest School of Law. “Adam, demonstrated the type of diligence, enthusiasm and academic ability with which we are so pleased to have in a student in the School of Business,” said Dr. Ben Hawkins, dean of Campbell’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business. “His academic performance was indicative of his capability to become a highly successful individual.”Photo Copy: Adam McLamb receives his degree at the May 2006 graduation exercises at Campbell University.
