Campbell University recognized the fam-ily of Selene Castillo Alfaro, a freshman and pre-professional biology major from Ra-leigh, N.C., as its 2012 Family of the Year Saturday during the Homecoming football game. Campbell’s Office of Student Life selects the Family of the Year based on the family’s support for both the student and for the university.
Selene wrote the following essay to nomi-nate her family for the honor:
Our Orange and Black JourneyMy name is Selene Castillo Alfaro; I was
born in Guerrero, Mexico, the day of March 22, 1993. My parents, Felipe Castillo and
Maria Castillo Alfaro, wanted a better life for me and a better future for the family for grow in.
So in 1995 my family immigrated to the United States of America in search of a better life, in search of the American Dream. Years later, my three other siblings were born; Alexia is now 17, Gisselle 12 and Felipe Castillo Alfaro 5. Currently, I am at the age of 19 and graduated from Garner Magnet High School in 2012.
I consider my family very strong because we have been through so much, staying united through sickness and happiness.

PREvATTE LECTuRESTo fEATuRE BARRY joNES
Is it possible to participate fully in the ways of a dominant, secular culture while remaining faithful to our identity as the people of God?
Where are the lines between responsible citizenship in a pluralistic society and faithfulness to God’s will as followers of Christ?
What practices and disciplines help peo-ple of faith to maintain our integrity and witness in the midst of social pressure or to conform to the world around us? What would it take to maintain faithfulness to God in the face of religious persecution or even violent coercion to deny our faith?
How can we cultivate such faithfulness? These are the questions that shaped
the Book of Daniel and that will be the focus of the 2012 Prevatte Biblical Studies Lectures by Dr. Barry Jones, associate professor of Old Testament and Hebrew at Campbell University Divinity School. These lectures will provide resources to prepare to lead and teach the 2013 An-nual Bible Study on Daniel.
The lectures are scheduled for Nov. 5 in Butler Chapel. The times are 10 a.m. and 1:45 p.m.
For more information, contact Joyce Mashtare at 1-800-334-4111, ext. 1849 or [email protected].

Mammograms
What is a mammogram, and why should I have one?
A mammogram is a safe, low-dose X-ray of the breast. It is still the best tool we have to find breast cancer early and save lives. All women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every 1 to 2 years.
What if I notice any changes in my breast?
• Mammograms are very useful, but they cannot find all problems.
• If you notice a change in your breast like a lump, thickening, or liquid leaking from the nipple, call your doctor or clinic right away.
• Many breast changes are not cancer, but only a doctor can know for sure.
How can I be sure I’m getting the best mammogram?
The FDA enforces The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). MQSA is a national law that approves all of the places where you can get a mammogram. This includes:
• Clinics
• Hospitals
• Doctors’ offices
• Mammogram vans
The FDA MQSA also makes sure that all of the people who work there have the right training and education, including the people who:
• Test the equipment to make sure it’s working
• Take your mammogram
• Study your mammogram
What about my results?
• Your results should be mailed to you in 30 days.
• If you don’t get them in 30 days, call the clinic to ask for them.
• If you want a second opinion, or if you change doctors, the law gives you the right to keep original mammograms.
What if I have a major problem with my exam or clinic?
• Talk with the person on staff whose job it is to handle problems and complaints.
• If your clinic can’t help you, don’t give up. Find out who approves your clinic. Make sure to get the company name, address, and phone number, and name of a person you can talk to.
• If that doesn’t fix your problem, call FDA at 1-800-838-7715.
