Distinguished Alumni Awards

Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna

The Distinguished Alumni Award is bestowed upon a Campbell alumnus or alumna that has distinguished themselves in their personal and professional career and their support of Campbell University. We recognize these individuals, who are nominated by our alumni throughout the spring, during our annual Homecoming celebration.

The 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award Ceremony are set for Friday, Oct. 17, 2025 featuring honorees Luther “Lew” Starling Jr. (’87), Tim Stevens (’82) and Cordell Wise (’70).
