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.

Chris Stambaugh will enter his sixth season as the Director of Tennis at Chowan Univer-
sity. Stambaugh has 16 years of NCAA DII tennis head coaching experience.
The 2013-14 season was one for the record books for both programs. The women
earned their first CIAA Championship, clinched the CIAA Northern Division title, and
amassed a program-best 23-8 overall record while finishing the year with an unblemished
13-0 record in CIAA play. Natlaya Kamenshchikova and Natalia Andrade were named
CIAA Player and Rookie of the Year, respectively, while Jessica De Backre, Breanne John-
son, and Holly Stambaugh all earned All-CIAA accolades.
He took the tennis program to new heights during the 2012-13 season with both the
men’s and women’s teams competing in their first-ever CIAA Championship title match,
with the men’s team also claiming the CIAA Northern Division title. Pedro Aiala, Ivan
Doubograev, Danilo Galovic, Breanne Johnson, and Natalya Kamenshchikova all earned
All-CIAA honors that same season, with Aiala also earning the nod on the 2013 Commis-
sioner’s Scholar Team.
Stambaugh came to Chowan from Shepherd University (WV) where he was the Head
Men's & Women's Tennis coach for eleven successful seasons. He was named WVIAC
Coach of the Year four times in 2001-2003, and 2005 and his teams won six WVIAC
Championships. He guided the 2003 women's team to a WVIAC while the men's team
also claimed the title in 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, and 2007.
Stambaugh was a standout player for Shepherd during his undergraduate days and helped
the team win the WVIAC Men's Tennis Championship in 1988. That season, Stambaugh
won individual conference titles at number five singles and number two doubles with
teammate Ferran Macipe.
In 2006 Stambaugh was ranked #1 in the Mid-Atlantic Region of the USTA in 35-and-over
Singles.
In 2011 Stambaugh and his father, Robert Stambaugh, finished ranked #16 in the nation in
Senior Father/Son Doubles.
Along with his coaching duties at Shepherd University, he served as the Head Tennis
Instructor at the Martinsburg Health & Fitness Club for 13 years. Stambaugh coached at
Tiffin University for one season prior to accepting the position at Chowan.

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.
