What is an engaged Campbell student? Is it a student who contributes to a sport or many clubs? Is it the student who commits to their classes and nothing but that? Is it the student who goes and waits in line for a free tee-shirt? An engaged Campbell student is a person who becomes involved with something on campus.

I met my roommate at acceptance day and if I would not have been involved with Campbell that day I would have never come to love my roommate. Cheerleading as given me the abilities to come close with many other students that are interested in the same interest as I am. I now have many friends that I do not believe I would even know if I was not a cheerleader. Being a cheerleader allowed me to know I can go to my coaches when I am in need as well as my athletic trainer. When I go to see or talk to my athletic trainer I meet many other athletes as well in the training room; “Pride” has also giving me many other relationships with other athletes. Inside the P.A.L. program I have a “Big Pal” who is a mentor to me and when she graduates I will become a mentor to underclassmen too. My “Big Pal” is there to help me and answer any questions I may have throughout my course of study and first years of Campbell.
I hope to continue being a part of the cheerleading team as well as the P.A.L. program. I have enhanced my study skills, time management skills, as well as my social skills from being engaged in these activities. I hope that my involvement in these opportunities will continue and I will keep learning and enhancing the skills needed to complete my degree and to help my future
