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.

Dawn Peipher, 1st Season Dawn Peipher enters her first season as Head Volleyball Coach at Chowan University. Peipher noted, “I’m ecstatic to have this wonderful opportunity to be the head volleyball coach at Chowan. I know the hard work and dedication that goes into being a successful program and I can’t wait to get started....The Chowan volleyball team has welcomed me with open arms and is adapting well to the few changes we have made with the offense and defense. I’m excited to start implementing a quicker offense that will separate us from the other teams in the CIAA.” “ Prior to coming to Chowan, Peipher served as an assistant coach at Georgia Southern University under Dustin Wood. Peipher helped guide the Eagles to a 28-6 overall record in 2013, a Southern Conference Tournament Championship and NCAA Division I Tournament appearance.

Peipher continued, “I bring a wealth of knowledge that I have gained by being an assistant coach at Georgia Southern this past year. I want to genuinely thank the Georgia Southern volleyball staff for helping me grow and develop as a coach.”

Vice President/Director of Athletics, Ozzie McFarland noted, "I believe we have found a diamond in the rough in Dawn. She has the level of enthusiasm for the sport and the desire to succeed that we were looking for. Meredith Long (Deputy Athletics Director) did a great job evaluating the candidates for this position and finding Dawn."

Chowan University stands in the old Albemarle region of North Carolina between the Roanoke and Chowan Rivers in the northeast corner of the state. The Murfreesboro area was first settled during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the principal inhabitants were several Indian Tribes such as the Chowanokes.

Today, the stately old homes seem to whisper of the storied colonial and antebellum days.

Murfreesboro is located approximately 60 miles from Norfolk, Virginia and 120 miles from Raleigh, North Carolina.

Murfreesboro is the location of the boyhood home of Dr. Walter Reed, discoverer of the cure for yellow fever, and home to Richard Jordan Gatling, the inventor of the Gatling Gun. Tours and special events are offered throughout the year by local groups.
