Chowan University is a four-year co-education intuition. It is the second oldest of North Carolina's seven Baptist Colleges. Chowan opened in 1848 as a four year college for women, Chowan Baptist Female institute.

It was renamed Chowan College in 1910, admitted male students in 1931, and established itself as one of the leading junior colleges in the South in 1937. In 1992 the college returned to four year status. In April of 2006 Chowan President, Dr. M. Christopher White announced the changing of the institutions name from Chowan College to Chowan University. The University fulfills its mission with a careful blend of both liberal arts and professional courses. Recognizing that such a blend of knowledge and experience is particularly suited to the needs of contemporary society. Chowan takes as priority the need to connect general education with specialized education, theoretical learning with practical learning, and intellectual skills with vocational skills.

Set amid 300 acres of woodlands embracing beautiful Lake Vann, Chowan’s main entrance leads gracefully around a college green to an antebellum mansion known as the McDowell Columns Building. Sixteen major buildings of contemporary design provide air-conditioned residence, academic and recreational facilities. The small-town university campus attracts students from at least twenty seven states and several countries each year. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools fully accredits Chowan University to offer the bachelor’s degree.

2013 HAWKS HEAD COACH ERYN McCAFFREY

Eryn McCaffrey enters her second season as the head lacrosse coach at Chowan University. She is the first head coach in program history, which began play in the spring of 2013. McCaffrey guided the Hawks to wins over Young Harris College and Methodist University during their inaugural season. Freshman Adriea Herndon earned a spot on the 2013 Division II All-Independent All-Freshman Team.

Prior to arriving at Chowan, McCaffrey was an assistant coach at Alderson-Broaddus College in Philippi, West Virginia. Since 2009, she has worked at the Star-Riders Girls Lacrosse Club in Marcellus, New York, and the Ethix Lacrosse Club in Syracuse, New York.

The Cicero, New York native had an outstanding playing career at Saint Andrews Presbyterian College, where she started at goalkeeper every game throughout her four-year career. McCaffrey finished as the NCAA Division II all-time leader in minutes played (3,991.29) and second all-time in saves (880).

After her senior season, she was named First-Team All-Region and First Team All-Conference. She was named Second-Team All-Conference after her junior season. In 2008 and 2007, she set the NCAA single season record for saves.
