2 1995 Chowan Opener
Chowan begins 148th year of service
As Chowan College begins
the 148th year of service in
Christian higher education, it
continues to earn the respect and
reputation as an outstanding lib
eral arts college offering quality
academic programs.
Founded in 1848 as the
Chowan Baptist Female Insti
tute, Chowan is the second-old
est of North Carolina's seven
Baptist institutions.
The campus landmark is his
toric McDowell Columns,
which was constructed in 1851
and named in honor of one of
the first presidents.
Most of the campus facilities
are of modem design with 16
contemporary buildings provid
ing housing and classrooms for
about 800 students.
The campus sports and recrea
tion center is the Jesse Helms
Physical Education Center,
which houses basketball and
racquetball courts, two gymna
siums, an Olympic-size swim
ming pool and several weight
and exercise rooms.
The Helms Center provides
seating for 3,000 spectators for
athletic events and other pro
grams, such as the annual North
Carolina Symphony perfor
mance. Graduation exercises
also have been held in the cen
ter.
Entertainment
variety offered
at Braves Den
A variety of entertainment and
recreation is available to stu
dents at Chowan College.
The events are coordinated
through the director of student
activities, Melissa Hadley,
whose office is in the Braves
Den Student Center.
Located adjacent to Lake
Vann, the student center is the
focal point for on-campus enter
tainment
One popular place in the stu
dent center is the lounge with a
wide-screen television set The
center also provides a conference
room, a balcony for lounging, a
video game room and an area for
pool and ping-pong. The center
of the facility is used for roller
skating.
Outdoor volleyball and bas
ketball courts are at the student
center.
Students may check out a
wide assortment of games and
may use canoes on Lake Vann,
which is located behind the cen
ter.
Also housed in the Braves
Den is the college post office,
the Student Government Asso
ciation office, facilities for the
student newspaper staff, a Laun-
dromaf^flti'Sfi^bar.
McSweeney Hall, which
houses the Texie Camp Marks
Computer Center, has about 75
computers to meet the increas
ing need of computer services
for students. The computer labo
ratories, cited as the "brain cen
ter of the campus,” provide addi
tional opportunities for students
to have access to the latest
computer equipment and net
works.
A new course offering intro
duced several years ago. College
101, is designed to orient
freshmen to college life and
build the skills they will need
for success in the classroom.
The college also offers bache
lor's degrees in applied science,
business administration, graphic
design, studio art, English, his
tory, liberal studies, mathemat
ics, music, printing production.
Most of the campus facilities are
of modern design with 16 con
temporary buildings providing
housing and classrooms for
about 800 students.
Homer Graphic Communica
tions Center has 37 computers
which are used in the printing
production and imaging tech
nology program. The center also
has some of the latest printing
equipment including two-color
offset and flexography presses.
Because Chowan is a relative
ly small college with a low fac-
ulty-study ratio, students receive
individual attention and the aca
demic counseling they need to
succeed.
