The Chowanoka People are recognized as Chowan ' s greatest resource. PEOPLE CENTERED has come to be the term most frequently used to describe Chowan College because it is broad enough to include by inference an interest in the total development of people, especially students, inside and out- side the classroom. With 93 percent of the students living on campus, members of the college community (students, faculty and staff) have developed an environment for living and learning which makes Chowan, the PEOPLE CENTERED college, distinctive among two-year institu- tions. PEOPLE CENTERED is the basic concept from which the philosophy of Chowan has evolved and been promoted since 1848 when the institution was founded. Chowan continues to demonstrate the PEOPLE CENTERED view of education by; (1) employing faculty and staff who are interested in helping students gain a sound education in academic disciplines and a philosophy of life based upon time-honored Judeo-Christian values which have helped people live secure and self-confident lives in a democracy; (2) offering quality classroom instruction in standard curricula for students who plan to transfer after earning the associate degree to senior institutions where requirements for the baccalaureate degree will be completed; (3) providing career instruction on a liberal arts foundation for students who plan to enter the world of work after earning the one-year diploma or the associate degree; and (4) striving to meet the in- dividual needs of students through academic, social, and spiritual counseling. PEOPLE CENTERED means people, especially students, are at the center of concerns whether in the classroom, in the residence hall, in Squirrel Park, in the library, or in an athletic or social event. It means faculty and staff members are working to help students take charge of their lives by establishing personal goals, both short range and long range, and becoming the best people they can be, academically, socially, and spiritually.
