Biographical / historical:

Cole Carman grew up in Richmond Virginia and attended Benedictine College Prep for high school. He is a 22 year old college student with a major in economics and a minor in history. Up until recently he did not know how to put his degree to use but found a new career goal and hopes to get into construction project management. Some activities he enjoys doing are hunting, fishing, snowboarding, golf, and hiking. After college, he plans to move back to Richmond to pursue a path in construction. Life on the Hill Cole first visited the Hill during his senior year of high school on an official visit, where he got to experience his first class at HSC as well as stay the weekend. Instantly, he knew this was the place to spend the next four years. During his time here, Cole has been involved with various clubs and organizations such as Club Lacrosse, Beekeeping Club, Sigma Chi Fraternity, History Club and more. He knew that he wanted to major in economics or business before he got here, but sitting in for Dr. Isaac's econ 101 course on his visit helped make his mind.

David M. Campbell is a highly accomplished technical leader who currently serves as a government civilian Technical Project Officer at US Cyber Command and at NSWC Dahlgren Division. Since graduating from Hampden-Sydney College in 2015, he has spearheaded multi-million-dollar projects, including the development of novel kinetic capabilities for the Naval Railgun and 5-inch gun programs. His experience with the Navy includes a strong background in mechanical and electrical design, systems safety, and program management. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Music from Hampden-Sydney College and has received numerous awards for his engineering excellence and meritorious service to the US DoW. Life while living at The Hill: During his undergraduate years at Hampden-Sydney College, Mr. Campbell demonstrated a deep commitment to a wide array of campus activities. His passion for science was evident through his membership in the Alpha Chi Sigma (AXE) professional fraternity, where he served as Master of Ceremonies for two semesters and as President for another two. Also, he served as an H-SC physics department tutor during his junior and senior years. Due to his love of STEM demonstrations, he also took on leadership responsibilities within the Society of Physics Students, serving as its Vice President for one year. In recognition of his leadership and scholastic achievements, in 2014 he was inducted into the Omnicron Delta Kappa (ODK) honor society. His contributions extended to campus governance as well, where he was a student court investigator for three years. While balancing his academic and leadership roles, Mr. Campbell also pursued his love for music as a dedicated member of the H-SC Chorus and the H-SC Acousticals for all four years, serving as the President of the Acousticals for two of those years.
