New programs started within the past year are the innovative academic support program which assists students at whatever level to achieve academically, socially and developmentally. The new Freshman Experience program is a semester-long course designed to orient freshmen to college life and build the skills they will need for success. Because Chowan is a relatively small college with a faculty/student ratio of 16-1, students receive individual at-' tention and the academic counseling they need to succeed at college. While the campus landmark is the 1851 McDowell Columns adminis tration building, most of the facilities are of modem origin. The newest buildings are the S2.75 million Helms Physical Education Center and the Horner Graphic Communications Center. Chowan's students also enjoy the spacious campus green, alumni gazebo, and two scenic lakes. With all of the individual attention and warmth of a small friendly campus, and new programs such as freshman experience designed to really help the Chowan student, it's no wonder students say they feel "recognized here." Chowan teachers often receive enthusiastic, appreciative letters from students who graduated from Chowan 10 or 20 years earlier. "When I get a letter," says one professor, "then I realize I did something profound for that student, and 1 was able to do it because of the environment here." That "can-do" environment is what makes Chowan stand out among private liberal arts colleges. As the college makes the transition to four-year, it is expected that more students will find they can come to Chowan to excel and achieve their academic goals.
