Dr. Charles A. Carter has been named the Department of Pharmaceutical & Clinical Sciences chair at Campbell University. The college's department of Clinical Research and Pharmaceutical Sciences merged into a single department called the Department of Pharmaceutical & Clinical Sciences on January 1, 2022. Carter served as the interim chair during this period of transition and played an integral role in launching the change. He was then appointed as the new department chair on July 1. 

 

Dean Michael L. Adams shared about the search committee’s raving remarks regarding Carter: “The committee members stated that his work during the past six months as interim in the newly created department was a ‘much higher threshold than an interview.’”

Carter moved to North Carolina in 1996 and joined the Campbell University family in August 2015. He was initially hired as an associate professor in the Department of Clinical Research. 

 

When asked why he accepted the chair position Carter said, “I feel called to serve, so I’m serving.” 

Carter loves working at Campbell and is excited about his new responsibilities and the merging of departments. Carter’s desire to serve others is appreciated by the Campbell University faculty and students. 

 

Dr. Scott Asbill, associate dean of Academic Affairs, professor of Pharmaceutics, and senior chair search committee member, said, “Dr. Carter embodies the mission and spirit of Campbell University. He has served as the interim chair for approximately six months and has done a tremendous job moving the department forward.”
