The first of seven Campbell University spring commencement ceremonies will begin Thursday morning, and the week will culminate with two ceremonies at the Pope Convocation Center on Saturday.
President J. Bradley Creed will deliver his last public addresses as Campbell’s president during those two Saturday ceremonies. Creed, who will retire in June after 10 years as the University’s fifth president, will reflect on his time in Buies Creek and charge the graduates to take advantage of the opportunities afforded with a Campbell degree.
“Serving as Campbell’s president has been an honor and the capstone of my career in higher education,” Creed said. “I am thankful for the many wonderful people who assisted and supported me, and especially for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our students. After more than 30 years of leadership in higher education, I’m eager to take on other projects and to spend more time with my loving wife, children, and grandchildren.”
