Campbell University has announced the addition of Shelby Howard as its new director of alumni engagement. A proud Campbell alumna, Howard brings a strong background in leadership, administration and fundraising to the role.
She succeeds April Ganong, who previously served in the position since September 2023 and has transitioned to a new role at Campbell as director of development.
“Campbell University has been so good to me,” said Howard in a press release. “From the very first tour through the transition process and navigating a global pandemic, I have always felt confident in Campbell’s mission and its interest in caring deeply for its students. As an alumna, I have felt that sense of belonging with my fellow alumni. I am thrilled to be back in the Creek and honored to be the director of alumni engagement. I look forward to meeting you soon and working together to stay connected to our beloved alma mater.”
Howard graduated summa cum laude from Campbell in 2020 with a degree in Christian Studies. As a student, she was heavily involved across campus, serving as chaplain and later president of the Sigma Alpha Omega sorority. She also spent time working in the Department of Christian Studies and also earned membership in the Theta Alpha Kappa honor society.
After graduating from Campbell, Howard moved to Atlanta to complete her Master of Theological Studies at McAfee School of Theology.
She most recently spent the past four years as an operations administrative assistant with Soliant Health, providing direct sales support to top account executives, managing client and candidate relationships and overseeing summer interns. Howard also served two years as treasurer and director of fundraising for the Sigma Alpha Omega Foundation, assisting in fundraising efforts, budgeting and reporting.
