Dr. Michael Adams has been named the new vice president for academic affairs and provost at Campbell University, succeeding Dr. Mark Hammond, who is joining the faculty of the Jerry M. Wallace School of Osteopathic Medicine after serving the last 10 years as provost and, before that, 12 years as dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.
A 1996 Doctor of Pharmacy summa cum laude graduate of Campbell, Adams also earned a Ph.D. in medicinal chemistry from the University of Washington in 2003. He returned to the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences in 2005 as an assistant professor of pharmaceutical sciences. Four years later, he became the school’s director of science education outreach and served in that position through 2012, when he was named assistant dean for graduate and interprofessional education. He succeeded the College’s founding dean, Dr. Ronald Maddox, as dean in 2015.
Adams said he is “honored” to take on his new role and continue to serve his alma mater.
“I look forward to working with the esteemed faculty and staff colleagues at Campbell University as well as the Deans’ Council and the cabinet to continue the pursuit of our mission of preparing graduates for purposeful lives and meaningful service,” Adams said in a press release. “I greatly appreciate Dr. Hammond’s leadership and counsel during my tenure as dean, as he provided a broad perspective of the multifaceted academic operations of the University.”
