John Pope Convocation Center Clear Bag Policy Campbell University Athletics has implemented a clear bag policy that regulates the size and type of bag that may be carried into all Campbell Athletics facilities, including Barker-Lane Stadium, Jim Perry Stadium, and the Pope Convocation Center/Gore Arena. Fans and guests are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new policies before arriving at the venue to minimize time spent searching bags at security checkpoints.

NCVPS Summer Opportunity Harnett County Schools is offering an opportunity for high school students to take courses through North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) over the summer. Through NCVPS, students will engage in an online course asynchronously with a teacher online. It will be the responsibility of the student/family to make sure all coursework is completed and grades are monitored during the summer. This virtual option should be used as an accelerated opportunity, not a remedial option. Coursework will be reflected on the student's transcript, but will not be a part of the GPA calculation. NCVPS classes start on June 25th and an application process will proceed enrollment. If interested, contact your counselor by May 30, 2025.
