Penny Hall to house Student Development
By CLAYTON LEWIS
Dean of Students
Constructed in 1964 with funds
donated to Chowan College by Mrs. W.
S. Penny of Raleigh. Penny Infirmary
will undergo a name change and be given
additional functions in late November.
The facility will now be known as
Penny Hall and will be the home of
Student Development. One of Dr. Jerry
Jackson’s primary concerns after his
initial tour of the campus was that
Recognized
Elizabeth Sneed and other housekeeping
personnel were hosted by President Jerry
Jackson recently in McDowell Columns.
Dr. Jackson singled out Mrs. Sneed as
the present college employee with the
longest period of service—34 years—to
the college.

Student Development offices were
scattered all over the campus. “The move
to Penny Hall will consolidate the offices
of Student Development,” said President
Jackson.
Wellness Center
Health services will still be housed in
Penny Hall. Infirmary, a term which
refers to illness, is no longer appropriate
when describing college health care.
Since wellness is the concern of college
students in 1989, the four-room area
reserved for health care will be known as
the Wellness Center. Two rooms will be
used as needed for students who are too
ill to stay in residence halls or whose
illnesses constitute a danger to others.
The Director of Intramural Sports will
have an office on the ground floor of
Penny Hall. Responsibilities for in
tramural sports is being returned to
Student Development. During the recent
years, intramural sports has been under
the Director of Athletics.
The large room on the ground floor
will be made into two offices, one for the
Associate Dean of Students for Men and
one for the Associate Dean of Students
for Women. An Associate Dean of
Students for Women is expected to be
employed for the 1990-91 term.
Housing Assignments
Responsibilities for room assignments
are being transferred to the Associate
Dean of Students. A secretary, located in
the housing room, will assist with room
assignments and serve the Associate
Dean of Students, the Director of In
tramurals and the Director of Health
Services.
The Counseling Center will be tran
sferred to the second floor of Penny Hall
and will be located in the large room once
used as a ward. A secretary will be
located in the Counseling Center. The
Director of Counseling and Career
Development will have an office adjacent
to the Counseling Center.
Also, located on the second floor will
be the Chaplain and the Dean of
Students. The secretary located in the
Counseling Center will also serve the
Chaplain, Dean of Students, and the
Director of Student Activities and
Lakeside Student Center, who will
maintain an office in Lakeside Student
Center.
Committee
examining
retention
On August 30, Dr. Jerry F.
Jackson, President of the College
appointed a committee to student
the two major issues of student
retention and the admission of
marginal students. Committee
members are Dr. Dwaine Greene,
chairman; Dr. Carol Garrott, Mrs.
Andrea Eason, Mrs. Becky
McLawhorn, and Darrell H.
Nicholson.
After appropriate deliberation,
the committee initially concluded
that it is consistent with the pur
pose and goals of the college for
Chowan to continue to admit
marginal students, though in
numbers that can be reasonably
accommodated. A further con
clusion was that developmental
offerings should be strengthened.
Such matters as small numbers
of students in remedial course
sections, and additional faculty
trained specifically in remedial
areas are matters of special em
phasis.
The related issues which the
committee must assess are quite
extensive. Thus members are
working diligently each week,
pointing toward a written report to
be submitted to the President on
December 1. The committee
understands its task to be another
step towards further strengthening
the academic program of the
college.
