When I read Dr.Campbell was no longer with us I began to remember how he cared about the students at TSU. He was caring but firm. He provided the light for those of us that felt we were walking alone in the dark. He provided the patience and understanding that many of us needed as we struggled for our place in life. He was a beautiful spirit that I am so blessed to have had the privilege to know. Thank you Dr. Campbell for the influence you had in my life.
