CHRISTMAS MESSAGE
to all of the
CHOWAN COLLEGE FAMILY
Students, Faculty, Staff, Alumni and Friends
The warm glow of Christmas is now being felt across
the campus at Chowan touching all who live and work
here, reminding young and old that there are truths and
values which transcend the concrete and the common
place. This glow is magnified by shared experiences
which somehow bring us closer together in thanksgiving,
in joy, and in hope. For many of us there is a growing
awareness that the Chowan College Family embraces
countless persons in diverse places across our nation
and our world, all tied by a common shared experience
which is the life, the work, the mission and spirit of
Chowan College. To this family, I extend a heartfelt
desire that they all experience in this season, a full
measure of joy and happiness with health and strength.
We cannot together truly experience Christmas without
thanksgiving to our Creator who has given us truth, light,
and life through His Son, Jesus Christ. Thanksgiving
can best t)e expressed through service to our fellow man
and one of the greatest services is the enrichment of
the lives of young men and women through Christian
Higher Education. Chowan has been an instrument of
thanksgiving through service for more than 123 years,
and we rejoice in the hope that its service will expand
this year and in years to come. We have much to be
thankful for. Yet, there is much service to do.
The entire Chowan College Family has my sincere best
wishes for a bright and merry Christmas and a full and
prosperous New Year.
