"Chowan University offers me the opportunity to really know my students on a personal level. I enjoy living across the street from campus where students can easily visit and where we can have group discussions. After many years as a therapist, I find it rewarding to share my experiences with my students. I have found a feeling of family, where everyone can work and play together. I love the “home town” atmosphere, the small campus, the student diversity
– I love Chowan."
