"Campbell has spent his career focused on putting students first in his management decisions," said David A. Thomas, President of Morehouse College. "He has worked to expand scholarship opportunities and boost academic achievement for athletes, renovate sports facilities, and build teams into champions."
Campbell has served as an AD at four colleges—Blackburn College in Carlinville, Ill., Stillman College in Tuscaloosa, Ala., Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Ala., and Western Oregon University in Monmouth, Ore.
In his former role at West Oregon University (WOU), Campbell managed a $5.1 million budget and a program with 13 sports, 300 student-athletes, and 55 employees. Setting the bar high for his staff and student-athletes at WOU, yielded positive results. More than 300 student-athletes maintained at least a 3.0-grade point average during his tenure. And in 2019-20, the athletics department reported a record year in fundraising that included increasing the scholarship level for student-athletes by $200,000.
In addition, the WOU football team won its first-ever Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championship.
Campbell also has experience leading multimillion-dollar renovation and construction projects. At Stillman College, he was part of the team overseeing the construction of the $4 million Birthright Gymnasium and a $465,000 tennis center. At WOU, Campbell helped to bring improvements to soccer fields, softball and baseball fields, and other facilities.
